4. A car is traveling at a constant speed of 130 kph at a location where the speed limit is 100 kph. A police officer gives chase and from rest begins toaccelerate at the constant rate of 6 m/s2 until a speed of 160 kph is reached and maintained. How much distance is required for the officer to over-take car A. Set your own variables for each parameter as you see fit.5. A projectile is fired downward in an experimental fluid and experiences an acceleration of a = o-nv², where o and n are positive constants and vrepresenting the velocity. Determine the distance travelled by the projectile when its velocity has been reduced to half. Determine also the terminalvelocity. Evaluate for a = 0.7 m/s², n = 0.2 m-¹, and initial velocity of 4 m/s.

After traveling for two more seconds, he was found to be 132 m from his starting point. If he is moving with constant acceleration, determine: (a) his initial velocity (m/s), (b) his constant acceleration (m/s²),
A car was travelling at a speed of 50 mph (mi/hr). The driver saw a road block 80 meters ahead and stepped on the brake causing the car to decelerate uniformly at 10 m/s2. Find the distance (in m) from the roadblock to the point where the car stopped. Assume perception reaction time is 2 seconds.
An automobile starting from rest speeds up to 40 meters per seconds with a constant acceleration of 4 meter per seconds square, runs at this speed for a time, and finally comes to rest with a deceleration of 5 meters per second square. If the total distance traveled is 1000 meters, find the (a) distance traveled covered during the acceleration, (b) distance traveled at constand speed, and (c) the total time of travel.

Two cars A and B are stopped at a traffic light, waiting for the light to change from red to green, see Figure 3. Car B is 6 meters behind car A. When the light turns green, car A starts accelerating at a rate of 0.3 m / sec2, while car B departs 2 seconds later and accelerates at a rate of 0.8 m / sec2.
