Question:

Car A is traveling at a constant speed vA = 130 km/h at a location where the speed limit is 100 km / h. The police officer in car P observes this speed via radar. At the moment when A passes P, the police car begins to accelerate at the constant rate of 6 m/s2 until a speed of 160 km/h is achieved, and that speed is then maintained. Determine the distance required for the police officer to overtake car A. Neglect any nonrectilinear motion of P.
