A police officer at rest at side of highway notices speeder moving at 62 km/h along road.when speeder passes ,officer accelerate

s 3.0 m/s^2 in pursuit.speeder do not notice until police catch up.
A) how long will it take for the officer to catch the speeder
b) calculate the speed of the police officer when he catches the speeder, is this reasonable?
c) now assume that the police fficer accelerates until the police car is moving 10 km/h faster than the speeder and then moves at a constant velocity until the car catches up to the speeder. how long will it take to catch the speeder?

Answer:

Part a)

t = 11.5 s

Part b)

v_f = 34.44 m/s

Part c)

T = 23.9 s

Explanation:

Part a)

Let after time "t" the officer catches the speeder

So here the distance moved by the speeder and the police must be same

so we have

d_{p} = d_s

d_p = \frac{1}{2}at^2

d_s = (62 \times \frac{1000}{3600})(t)

now we have

17.22 t = 1.5 t^2

t = 11.5 s

Part b)

Speed of the police officer when he catches the speeder is given as

v_f = v_i + at

v_f = 0 + 3(11.5)

v_f = 34.44 m/s

Part c)

Police accelerated till his speed become

v_f = 62 + 10 = 72 km/h

v_f = 20 m/s

so time taken till it reach this speed

v_f = v_i + at

20 = 0 + 3t

t = 6.67 s

now after this the distance between them

d = (17.22\times 6.67) - \frac{1}{2}(3)(6.67)^2

d = 48 m

now this distance will covered in the next few seconds given as

d = (v_p - v_s) t

48 = (20 - 17.22)t

t = 17.3 s

so total time taken by it

T = 17.3 + 6.67 = 23.9 s

To answer the following questions for this specific problem:

a. 11.48 secs

b. Vp = a*t*3.6 = 3*11.48*3.6 = 124.0 km/h

<span>c. 9.1 secs. </span>

I am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query about and it will be able to help you.

What would Hubble's constant be if we found one galaxy moving away at 30,000 km/s at a distance of 600 Mpc?
lora16 [44]

Answer:

H₀ = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁸ s⁻¹

Explanation:

The Hubble's Constant can be found by the following formula:

v = H_o D\\\\H_o = \frac{v}{D}

where,

H₀ = Hubble's Constant = ?

v = speed of galaxy = 30000 km/s = 3 x 10⁷ m/s

D = Distacance = 600 Mpc = (6 x 10⁸ pc)(3.086 x 10¹⁶ m/1 pc)

D = 18.52 x 10²⁴ m

Therefore,

H_o = \frac{3\ x\ 10^7\ m/s}{18.52\ x\ 10^{24}\ m}

<u>H₀ = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁸ s⁻¹</u>

If you are walking to the elevator on a cruise ship , what are you probably using your frame of reference
omeli [17]

Answer:

The Elevator

Explanation:

The frame of reference is the immovable item and remains at the same place and can be used for guiding some one. For example I am telling you an address by saying that you will cross the mega store and then there will a Ferrari and on the next street is my home. So you kept searching my home and then you called me again. I checked from my window before receiving call and saw that the ferrari was gone. So it took more time which means that the frame of reference choosen was movable item. The frame of reference choosen is always immovable. So here I want to move towards elevator which is immovable so choosed it. Furthermore, ship is movable item and the ocean doesn't specify right direction thatswhy stars were used in the ancient times.

A car traveling initially at 9.49 m/s accelerates at the rate of 0.988 m/s^2 for 3.05s. What is it’s velocity at the end of the
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

12.50 m/s

Explanation:

Vi = 9.49 m/s

a = 0.988 m/s²

t = 3.05 s

Vf = ?

Vf = Vi + at

Vf = 9.49 + (0.988)(3.05)

Vf = 12.50 m/s
