Cop and Car Kinematics question

A classic example of a car speeding and the amount of time (or distance) needed for a constantly accelerating cop to catch up. Yes, it uses two equations and two variables, and yes, it combines them using substitution!

So useful. I didn’t study for it and a question like this was on my test and i managed to get it correct using your method. thanks!!

[@MrBdubsSAS]

Glad it was useful. Hope you can try out some of my other videos as well!

[@AK47_414]

You're a great teacher

[@MrBdubsSAS]

Glad I could be of help!

this guy kinda sounds like the physics version of hikaru

Thanks this helped a lot

4:55 why that formula, do i just ignore the final velocity for the car?

[@MrBdubsSAS]

If you look at the other two equations for kinematics (that AP gives), they both are problematic if a = 0 (for the horizontal). In one situation, the equation would simplify to v = vo, and in the other it would be v^2 = vo^2. Neither of these is helpful, so we go with this one. Yes, ignore the final velocity, as it isn't helpful in this situation!

WOW OMGGG this made too much more sense. Thank you!!

[@nuskyahmad6375]

hey,there is another version of this question where they take x initial as 24 m for the car. can u explain why

[@NobleTries]

thank you sooooo much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow 😲😳😳
