Apolice car at rest, passed by a speeder traveling at a constant 120 km/h, takes off in hot pursuit. the police officer catches up to the speeder in 750 m, while maintaining a constant acceleration. calculate (a) how long it took the police car to overtake the speeder, (b) the required police acceleration, and (c) the velocity of the police car at the moment it reaches the speeder.

A23 kg log of wood begins from rest, 300 m up a sluice (a water track used to transport logs, think of it as an inclined plane with negligible friction) inclined at 20° to the horizontal. after it reaches the flat waterway at the bottom it collides elastically with a 100 kg block of wood initially at rest near the base of the incline. (a) how long does it take the 23 kg log to travel down the incline? (b) what is the speed of the 23 kg log at the bottom of the incline? (c) what are the velocities of both blocks of wood after the collision? (d) what is the total kinetic energy before the collision? (e) what is the kinetic energy of the 23 kg log after the collision? (f) what is the kinetic energy of the 100 kg block of wood after the collision? (g) what is the total kinetic energy after the collision? (h) compare the total initial and total final kinetic energies. is this consistent with what you would expect for elastic collisions? explain!

For general projectile motion, when the projectile is at the highest point of its trajectory, its acceleration is zero? a)the horizontal and vertical components of its velocity are zero. b) its velocity is perpendicular to the acceleration. c)the horizontal component of its velocity is zero. d)its velocity and acceleration are both zero.
