A speeder passes a parked police car at 30.0 m/s. The police car starts from rest with a uniform acceleration of 2.60 m/s2.
(a) How much time passes before the police car reaches the speeder?
(b) How far does the speeder get before being overtaken by the police car?
Relevant equations:
v=vo+at
v2=vo2+2a[itex]\Delta[/itex]x
well...i drew a picture of the situation and wrote the givens...but I'm not sure where to go from there...
i mainly want HOW to solve this problem rather than the answer itself...
