Solve an example by a graphing method. On the same graph, plot position versus time for the car and the trooper. From the intersection of the two curves, read the time at which the trooper overtakes the car.
Watch out for the speed limit!
You are driving a car speed 45.0 m/s when you pass a trooper on a motorcycle hidden behind a billboard. One second after your car passes the billboard, the trooper sets out from the billboard to catch you, accelerating at a constant rate of 3.00 . How long does it take the trooper to overtake your car?
