a speeding car is traveling at 92 km/h towards a police car at rest, facing the same direction as the speeding car. If cop car begins accelerating when speeding car is 250 m behind the cop car,then what must the cop car's acceleration be in order for the cop car to reach the speeding car's velocity at the moment the speeding car catches up? Assume that the speeding car doesn't slow down.

Please show all work necessary; Use one of the five kinematics equations...thanks!!!

If we take the position of the speeding car as x=0 at t=0, then the police car is at x=250 at t=0

the speed of the speeding car is 92 km/ hr or
92*0.278 m/s
=25.576 m/s

so
x1(t)=25.576*t
and
x2(t)=250+.5*a*t^2

also
v2(t)=a*t
and
when the catch occurs
x1=x2
and
v2=25.576

25.576=a*t

25.576*t=250+.5*25.576*t

t=500/25.576
=19.55 s

a=25.576/19.55

a=1.31 m/s^2

hydroelectricity is the excellent project. even i did an analogous for technology honest. properly u want some components or products like a submersible pump, a rubber cork and cut back products of bottle (to make a turbine), a three volt motor , a multimeter or galvanometer for exhibiting the produced contemporary and if ur produced contemporary is extra u can use a small LED bulb which glows. set the equipment such that water falls on the turbine the turbine rotates and connect a 3v motor to turbine and that motor acts as a generator and contemporary will b produced in the two ends of the twine of motor. the water ought to b accumulated in a bucket or a bathtub like wherein a submersible pump is to be stored which sucks the water and an analogous water is for use back to make it fall on the turbine. each and all of the excellent
