A car traveling at a constant speed of 24.5 m/s passes a trooper hidden behind a billboard. One second after the speeding car passes the billboard, the trooper sets off in chase with a constant acceleration of 3.20 m/s. How long does it take the trooper to overtake the speeding car? Solve this problem by a graphical method. On the same graph, plot position versus time for the car and the trooper. x (m) 800 x (m) 400+ 600 400 200 car trooper t(s) 5 10 15 20 x(m) 500 400 300 car 200 100 trooper t(s) 5 10 15 20 300 trooper 200 100 x(m) 800 car t(s) 5 10 15 20 600 trooper 400 200 car t(s) 5 10 15 20 From the intersection of the two curves, read the time at which the trooper overtakes the car.
