120 km/h = 33.33 m/s 10.8 km/h/s = 3 m/s/s the motorist will cover a distance of 33.33 m x T(seconds) the police officer will cover a distance of 1/2 (3) T^2 they will be at the same point when 33.33T = 1.5 T^2 33.33 = 1.5 T 3T = 66.66 T = 22.22 seconds it will take the officer 22.22 seconds to catch the motorist. the officer will be moving V=AT = 3m/s x 22.22 seconds = 66.66 m/s almost 240 km/h (239.976 km/h)

Answer from: cassmoney94

a. It will take 24.6 s for the police officer to reach the speeder

b. The police speed will be 66.42 m / s at this time

Further explanation

Regular straight motion is the motion of objects on a straight track that has a fixed speed

Formula used

$\large{\boxed{\bold{S=v\times\:t}}}$

S = distance = m

v = speed = m / s

t = time = seconds

Straight motion changes regularly are the straight motion of objects that have a fixed acceleration

Formula used

$\large{\boxed{\bold{St=vot+\frac{1}{2}at^2}}}$

V = vo + at

Vt² = vo² + 2as

St = distance on t

vo = initial speed

vt = speed on t

a = acceleration

The full version of the question might be like this:

A speeding motorist traveling 120 km / h passes a stationary police officer. The officer immediately begins pursuit at a constant acceleration of 10.8 km / h / s (note the mixed units).

(a) How much time will it take for the police officer to reach the speeder, assuming that the speeder maintains a constant speed?

(b) How fast will the police officer be traveling at this time?

A speeding motorist traveling 120 km/h (fixed speed) shows irregular straight motion

Whereas The officer immediately begins pursuit at a constant acceleration of 10.8 km/h/s showing that straight motion changes irregularly

So that the officer can catch A speeding motorist, the distance achieved by both of them is the same and also with the same time

1. the distance achieved by the speeding motorist

v = 120 km / h = 33.3 m / s

S1 = v. t

S1 = 33.3t

2. the distance reached by the officer

vo = 0

a = 10 km / h / s = 2.7 m / s²

S2 = vot + 1/2 at²

S2 = 0 + 1/2 .2.7t²

S2 = 1.35t²

a. The distance traveled when the two meets are the same, so the time of both can be determined

S1 = S2

33.3t = 1.35t²

t = 24.6 s

b. The officer speed

Vt = vo + at

Vt = 0 + 2.7.24.6

Vt = 66.42 m / s

Astudent throws a water balloon with speed v0 from a height h = 1.76 m at an angle θ = 21° above the horizontal toward a target on the ground. the target is located a horizontal distance d = 9.5 m from the student’s feet. assume that the balloon moves without air resistance. use a cartesian coordinate system with the origin at the balloon's initial position. (a) what is the position vector, rtarge t, that originates from the balloon's original position and terminates at the target? put this in terms of h and d, and represent it as a vector using i and j. (b) in terms of the variables in the problem, determine the time, t, after the launch it takes the balloon to reach the target. your answer should not include h. (c) create an expression for the balloon's vertical position as a function of time, y(t), in terms of t, vo, g, and θ. (d) determine the magnitude of the balloon's initial velocity, v0, in meters per second, by eliminating t from the previous two expressions.
