Assume that the speed of light in a vacuum has the hypothetical value of 18.0 m/s. A car is moving at a constant speed of 14.0 m/s along a straight road. A home owner sitting on his porch sees the car pass between two telephone poles in 3.01 s. How much time does the driver of the car measure for his trip between the poles?

2.28 . Entering the Freeway. A car sits on an entrance ramp to a freeway, waiting for a break in the traffic. Then the driver ac- celerates with constant acceleration along the ramp and onto the freeway. The car starts from rest, moves in a straight line, and has a speed of 20 m/s (45 mi/h) when it reaches the end of the 120-m- long ramp. (a) What is the acceleration of the car? (b) How much time does it take the car to travel the length of the ramp? (c) The traffic on the freeway is moving at a constant speed of 20 m/s. What distance does the traffic travel while the car is moving the length of the ramp?

Josef is late for a wedding and is speeding down a straight road at 145 km/hr when he passes an officer sitting in a police car parked behind a billboard at the side of the road. Two seconds after Josef's car passes him, the officer accelerates the police car from rest and maintains maximum acceleration of 8.5 km/hr s until he reaches a top speed of 210 km/hr. Eventually the officer gets within 150 m of the speeding vehicle and turns on the flashing lights. Josef sees the lights in his rearview mirror and panics, slamming on the brakes and starting to skid. Josef's car slows down at a rate of 5.5 m/s2. It takes the officer 0.5 seconds to realize what is happening and to move his foot to the brake pedal before he can start to slow down. The police car slows down at a rate of 6 m/s2.
