1. An automobile travels along a straight road at 15.65 m/s through a 11.18 m/s speed zone. A police car observed the automobile. At the instant that the two
vehicles are abreast of each other, the police car starts to pursue the automobile at
a constant acceleration of 1.96 m/s². The motorist noticed the police car in his rear
view mirror 12 s after the police car started the pursuit and applied his brakes and
decelerates at 3.05 m/s². (Hint: The police will not go against the law.)
a) Find the total time required for the police car to overtake the automobile.

Answer from: Chloe0095

a.) Time = 17.13 seconds

b.) 31.88 m

c.) V = 11.18 m/s

d.) V = 7.1 m/s

Explanation:

The initial velocity U of the automobile is 15.65 m/s.

At the instant that the two vehicles are abreast of each other, the police car starts to pursue the automobile with initial velocity U = 0 at a constant acceleration of 1.96 m/s². Because the police is starting from rest.

For the automobile, let us use first equation of motion

V = U - at.

Acceleration a is negative since it is decelerating with a = 3.05 m/s² . And

V = 0.

Substitute U and a into the formula

0 = 15.65 - 3.05t

15.65 = 3.05t

t = 15.65/3.05

t = 5.13 seconds

But the motorist noticed the police car in his rear view mirror 12 s after the police car started the pursuit and applied his brakes and decelerates at 3.05 m/s².

The total time required for the police car to overtake the automobile will be

12 + 5.13 = 17.13 seconds.

b.) Using the third equation of motion formula for the police car at V = 11.18 m/s and a = 1.96 m/s²

V^2 = U^2 + 2aS

Where S = distance travelled.

Substitute V and a into the formula

11.18^2 = 0 + 2 × 1.96 ×S

124.99 = 3.92S

S = 124.99/3.92

S = 31.88 m

c.) The speed of the police car at the time it overtakes the automobile will be in line with the speed zone which is 11.18 m/s

d.) That will be the final velocity V of the automobile car.

We will use third equation of motion to solve that.

V^2 = U^2 + 2as

V^2 = 15.65^2 - 2 × 3.05 × 31.88

V^2 = 244.9225 - 194.468

V = sqrt( 50.4545)

V = 7.1 m/s

Difference Between Series and Parallel Circuits. The major difference is that the series circuits have the same amount of current flow through all the components placed in it. ... On the other hand, in parallel circuits, the components are placed in parallel with each other. This circuit splits the current flow.
