A motorcycle cop is parked on the side of the road when a woman :
driving a red Ferrari zooms by at 90.0 km/h. After a few attempts
to get his cycle started, the officer roars off 2.00 seconds later. The
officer has a top speed of 100 km/h and the state line is only 2.00
km away. The cop wishes to © Teach the speeder just as she reaches
the state line. e
la) Draw a picture for the case of the woman in the Ferrari. Show
2 important points on the x-axis. The starting point(z,, to, v,) and
the points when she reaches the state line(x1,t1,7)

1c) Based on your answer of part 1b) how long does the cop have
to reach the Ferrari?
2) Draw a picture for the cop. Show 3 important points on the
x-axis. The starting point (Zo, to, U.), the point where he reaches 100
km/hour (z;, t;, v1) and the point, where he catches the speeder(22, ta, v2).
At each point, label the time, the position and the velocity of the
cop. Label the acceleration between the first 2 points as a, and the
accceleration between the last two points as a2.

3a) Write down all of the quantities and fill in their values if they
are known. Identify the quantities which are unknown (note there
are only 3).
