A state trooper is traveling down the interstate at 30 m/s. He sees a speeder traveling at 50 m/s approaching from behind. At the moment the speeder passes the trooper, the trooper hits the gas and gives chase at a constant acceleration of 2.5 m/s2. How far down the highway will the trooper travel before catching up to the speeder?

A car is speeding at 25 m/s (constant) in a school zone. A police car starts from rest just as the speeder passes and accelerates at a constant rate of 5.0 m/s². How fast is the police car traveling when it catches up with the speeder?

A motorist traveling at 25.0 m/s passes a stationary police car.  The police car gives chase 7.0 s later, accelerating at 3.0 m/s.  How long (in seconds) after giving chase will the police car catch the motorist?

A police car, sitting at the side of the road is passed by a car driving a constant 60 m/s. If the police car can accelerate 2.5 m/s2, how long will it take for the police car to reach the speeding car?

a driver sees a deer in front of his car about 100.0 meters in front of him. the driver was traveling 50.0m/s before applying the brakes and coming to rest right where the deer was. what acceleration did the driver experience? answer in m/s2?

A Ford passes a Toyota on the road (both vehicles are traveling in the same direction). The Ford moves at a constant speed of 30.5 m/s. Just as the Ford passes it, the Toyota is traveling at 15.3 m/s. As soon as the Ford passes the Toyota, the Toyota begins to accelerate forward at a constant rate. Meanwhile the Ford just keeps going at a steady 30.5 m/s to the east. The Toyota catches up to the Ford a distance of 103.8 m ahead of where the Ford first passed it. What was the magnitude of the Toyota s acceleration?     4.5 m/s^2     1.7 m/s^2     8.9 m/s^2     3.4 m/s^2

A car is traveling at a steady 81 km/h in a 50 km/h zone. A police motorcycle takes off at the instant the car passes it, accelerating at a steady 8.4 m/s2 . How much time elapses before the motorcycle is moving as fast as the car?

You are driving down the highway late one night at 20 m/s when a deer steps onto the road 35 m in front of you. Your reaction time before stepping on the brakes is 0.50 s, and the maximum deceleration of your car is 10 m/s?. How much distance is between you and the deer when you come to a stop?

A blue car travels down a straight road at a constant speed of 18.8 m/s. As they pass a red car, initially stopped on the side of the road, the red car speeds up at a rate of 1.77 m/s2. How much distance (in m) does the red car travel before it overtakes the blue car?

A sports car starts from rest at an intersection and accelerates toward the east on a straight road at 7.0 m/s2m/s2. Just as the sports car starts to move, a bus traveling east at a constant 16 m/sm/s on the same straight road passes the sports car. When the sports car catches up with and passes the bus, how far has the sports car traveled?
