Question

A speeding car is traveling at a constant 30.0 m/s when it passes a sationary police car. If the police car delays for 1.00s before starting, what must be the magnitude of the constant accleration of the police car. pdf

Answer 1

30.0m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

final speed v = 30.0m/s

initial velocity u = 0m/s

Time taken t = 1.00s

Required

constant acceleration of the police car a

Substitute the given parameters into this equation of motion

v = u + at

30 = 0 +1a

30 = a

a = 30.0m/s²

Hence the magnitude of the constant acceleration of the police car is 30.0m/s²
