How far will the police car have traveled in this time

Reference no: EM13700408

Solve the all parts of following problem:

Problem: A police car is stopped for a red light. A truck moving at a constant velocity of 15 m/s passes the police car, and illegally goes through the red light. Three seconds later, the police car begins accelerating with a constant acceleration of 2.28 m/s^2 in order to catch up with the truck.

Part A: In how many seconds will the police car catch up with the truck?

Part B: How far will the police car have traveled in this time?

Part C: At what time will the police car have the same velocity as that of the truck?

I've been having quite a bit of trouble understanding this problem, Thank you so much for your help. Thanks.
