Two highways intersect as shown in the figure. At the instant shown, a police car P is distance dP = 870 m from the intersection and moving at speed vP = 87 km/h. Motorist M is distance dM = 560 m from the intersection and moving at speed vM = 56 km/h. What are the (a) x-component and (b) y-component of the velocity of the motorist with respect to the police car? (c) For the instant shown in the figure, what is the angle between the velocity found in (a) and (b) and the line of sight between the two cars?

    Please show all work with an explanation. Two highways intersect at right angles. From out point of view, Car A on one highway is 0.5 km from the intersection and is moving toward it at 96 km/hr, while car B on the other highway is 1 km from the intersection and is moving away from it at 88 km/hr. We would therefore call the position and velocity of car A to us to be Position: ?⃗? ?? ?? = (0.5...

    You are arguing over a cell phone while trailing an unmarked police car by 32 m. Both your car and the police car are traveling at 110 km/h. Your argument diverts your attention from the police car for 2.5 s (long enough for you to look at the phone and yell, "I won't do that!"). At the beginning of that 2.5 s, the police officer begins emergency braking at 5 m/s2. (a) What is the separation between the two cars...

    How do you get 2b's ans 160km/hr? A motorist travels to a city 375 km away. He wants to average 75 km/hr overall but averages only 55 km/hr for the first 3 hr. How fast must he go, for the remainder of the trip? At t = 0 a motorist M moving at constant velocity 100 km/h passes a police car P moving at 40 km/h, which immediately begins pursuit at constant acceleration. (a) How fast will P be moving...
