The speed of the speeder
Answer to Problem 51P
The speed of the speeder is 114km/hr.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Calculation:
Considering the origin be the location where the speeder passes the police car.
Let the speed be vs.
The distance covered in the 7s:
As given the police car is running at the original velocity, and 6 seconds under the acceleration.
Evaluating the distance travel by the police car:
The police car overtakes the speeder when two distances will be equal.
Hence,
