Car A is traveling at a constant speed vA = 130 km / h at a location where the speed limit is 100 km / h. The police offi cer in car P observes this speed via radar. At the moment when A passes P, the police car begins to accelerate at the constant rate of 6 m/s2 until a speed of 160 km / h is achieved, and that speed is then maintained. Determine the distance required for the police offi cer to overtake car A. Neglect any nonrectilinear motion of P.

Distance = 713.303m

Explanation:

To determine the distance required for the police officer to overtake car A, we simply calculate the time t for which the police car and the speeding car have traveled equal distances from point P

the motion is shown below

=130 km/h==> 36.1 m/s

=0, a=6 m/s^2 (till =160 km/h)

so time taken to reach =160 km/h==> 44.4 m/s t=7.4 sec

in this time the car A travelled distance () is given by =*t=267.2 m

clearly > so police will have to move

now

S=(-)=102.9m

V=-=8.3 m/s

==12.4 s

=t+

       =19.8 s

photocells convert light energy to electricity

that tool is called an altimeter which measures your altitude which can be used to tell which atmosphere you are currently in, including the stratosphere.

hope this ! : )
