Speed of car
Speed of car of speeder
Acceleration of car of police
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
Define the origin to be the location where the speeder passes the police car. Start a timer at the instant that the speeder passes the police car and find another time that both cars have the same displacement from the origin.
For the speeder, traveling with a constant speed, the displacement is given by the following:-
For the police car, the displacement is given by two components. The first part is the distance traveled at the initially constant speed during the second of reaction time.
