Question

A car is traveling on a straight road at a constant 30 m/s m / s , which is faster than the speed limit. Just as the car passes a police motorcycle that is stopped at the side of the road, the motorcycle accelerates forward in pursuit. The motorcycle passes the car 12.5 s s after starting from rest. How far does the motorcycle travel before it passes the car?

Step 1

5 seconds. Given that the car is traveling at a constant speed of 30 m/s, we can use the formula distance = speed x time. Distance = 30 m/s x 12.5 s = 375 m Show more…
