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

How does the sun's energy most directly influence precipitation in an area?
topjm [15]
The sun's energy influences climate in various ways. For example the latitudes at the equator receive more energy from the sun and therefore have warmer temperatures, On the other hand the sun's energy influences precipitation in a climate by driving the water cycle which determines precipitation.The sun is what makes the water cycle take place. That is the sun provides energy or heat to the earth; the heat causes liquid and frozen water to evaporate into water vapor gas, which rises high in the sky to form clouds ( precipitation), that in turn give us rain
