Title: physics linear motion problem? Post by: rjandmj82 on Oct 21, 2012 A speeder passes a parked police car at 34.9
m/s. Instantaneously, the police car starts from rest with a uniform acceleration of 2.42 m/s2. a) How much time pases before the speeder is overtaken by the police car? b) How far does the speeder get before being overtaken by the police car? help please!

Title: physics linear motion problem? Post by: inreverie on Oct 21, 2012 x=(1/2)at^2 + Vo + Xo on both cars
set the x formulas equal to each other. and use the quadratic formula to solve for the time. then multiply the time by the speed and u get the distance A= 28.8s B=1005.12 m (w/o considering sig figs) B= 1.01x10^3 m (with significant figures) Title: physics linear motion problem?
