Physical data is often used in the court system. In fact, police officers use radar to determine your speed when you are driving and admit that record in court if you are ever given a ticket. In one such instance, the police officer submitted data that goes against the claim of the driver, who is contesting his ticket in court. The police officer (who was stationary when he made the measure) claims that the driver was speeding at 44.7 m/s, but the driver claims he was only going 26.8 m/s (according to his speedometer). The speed limit was 60 mph. The driver argues that the radar gun must have been set incorrectly to record relative velocity. It is possible that they are both telling the truth? In a separate word processing document, prepare two expert witness scripts, one to support the driver and one to support the police officer. Use visual aids (drawings and calculations) to show evidence for both arguments. Once your arguments are complete, turn them in to your teacher.

In SI units, speeds are measured in meters per second (m/s). But, depending on where you live, you’re probably mole comfortable of thinking of speeds in terms of either kilometers per hour (km/h) or miles per hour (mi/h). In this problem, you will see that 1 m/s is roughly 4 km/h or 2 mi/h, which is handy to use when developing your physical Intuition. More precisely, show that (a) 1.0m/s=3.6km/h and 1.0m/s=2.2mi/h .
(a) A car speedometer has a 5% uncertainty. What is the range of possible speeds when it reads 90 km/h? (b) Convert this range to miles per how. Note 1 km = 0.6214 mi.
Consider a partide moving along The x-axis. Iis position is gven by function x= (5.0mls) (6² where t is measured in feconds and b= 20 Lconds. a) what is the distance This pamde covers rom t=DOs to t=45) b) Average spead from t-0g to t=40s)
You are driving along at a constatnt speed of 26 m/s and you look down at your phone to read a text message for 2.5 seconds. How many meters does the car travel while you are not looking?
An object is dropped from rest and takes 2.41 seconds to reach the ground below. From what distance above the ground was it dropped? State this as a positive number and assume it has proper SI Units.
The "reaction time" of the average automobile driver is about 0.7 ss . (The reaction time is the interval between the perception of a signal to stop and the application of the brakes.) An automobile can slow down with an acceleration of 13.2 ft/s2ft/s2 . A)Compute the total distance covered in coming to a stop after a signal is observed from an initial velocity of 16.6 mi/hmi/h .

Automobile traffic passes a point P on a road of width w feet at anaverage rate of R vehicles per second. Although the arrival of automobilesis irregular, traffic engineers have found that the average waiting time Tuntil there is a gap in traffic of at least t seconds is approximately T = t eRtseconds. A pedestrian walking at a speed of 3.5 ft/s (5.1 miles per hour) requires t = w /3.5 s to cross the road . Therefore, the average time the pedestrian will have to wait before crossing is f(w, R) = (w/3.5)ewR / 3. 5 s.(a) What is the pedestrian's average waiting time if w = 25 ft and R = 0.2 vehicle per second?(b) Use the Linear Approximation to estimate the increase in waiting timeif w is increased to 27 ft.( c) Estimate the waiting time if the width is increased to 27 ft and R decreases to 0.18.( d) What is the rate of increase in waiting time per 1-ft increase in widthwhen w = 30 ft and R = 0.3 vehicle per second?
Alishba wakes up late and runs to school, covering a distance of 2.55 km in a direction of [N200 E] as measured from her home. She then realizes that her friend Lydia has her homework and races over to his house 0.5 km away [W] from the school. The two friends then decide it’s not worth going to class late so they go off to the mall that is 2.8 km [W500 S]. a) What is Alishba’s total displacement? b) If the total time taken by Alishba to run to school then over to the friend’s house was 25 minutes, what was her average velocity?
given that A + B =x1i + y1j and A-B = x2i + y2j what is A?

A police radar has an effective range of 1.0 km, and a motorist's radar detector has a range of 1.9 km. The motorist is going 100km/h in a 80 km/h zone when the radar detector beeps. At what rate must the motorist decelerate to avoid a speeding ticket?
