2.1 x 1018 km

2.4 x 1017 km

24.1 x 1018 km

2.4 x 1018 km

Question 3: A speeding SUV passed an unmarked police cruiser parked at the side of a straight and deserted highway. The SUV was travelling at a constant speed of 35.0 m/s and the cruiser immediately pursued it with a constant average acceleration of 5.0 m/s2. How far along the highway did the police cruiser catch the speeding SUV?

About 49 km down the highway from the point where the SUV initially passed the police cruiser.

About 400 m down the highway from the point where the SUV initially passed the police cruiser.

About 490 m down the highway from the point where the SUV initially passed the police cruiser.

About 90 m down the highway from the point where the SUV initially passed the police cruiser.
