Test 2: One-Dimensional Kinematics, Vectors, and Two-Dimensional Kinematics Solve for Distance, Time, and Constant Velocity: 1) A police officer in a police car finds that a vehicle is travelling beyond the speed limit in a low-velocity zone with a constant speed of 24 m/s. As soon as the vehicle passes the police car, the police officer begins pursuing the vehicle with a constant acceleration of 6 m/s2 until the police office catches up with and stops the speeding vehicle. (NOTE: here the distance covered, and the time elapsed, is the same for both the POLICE CAR and the SPEEDING VEHICLE, from the time the police car begins pursuing the vehicle to the time the police car catches up and stops the vehicle). A) What is the time taken by the police car to catch up with and stop the speeding vehicle? B) What distance did the police car travel from the time the police officer begins pursuing the speeding vehicle until the time the police officer catches up with and stops the speeding vehicle? (NOTE: use the value of time from the part "A").
