Aspeeder traveling at a constant speed of 111 km/h races past a billboard. a patrol car pursues from rest with constant acceleration of (7 km/h)/s until it reaches its maximum speed of 165 km/h, which it maintains until it catches up with the speeder. how long does it take the patrol car to catch the speeder if it starts moving just as the speeder passes

Thus the speeder is caught after

Explanation:

When the patrol car catches the speeder both of them would have traveled the same distance and traveled for same time. Let the distance covered be 'd' and the time required be time 't'.

The given values are converted to SI units as under

The time in which patrol car reaches speed of 165 km/h can be calculated from the first equation of kinematics as

The distance covered by both the cars in this time

Now the remaining distance will be covered in same time

Thus we have

Thus solving equation i and ii we get

Thus the speeder is caught after

no. bullets are macro objects. wave nature is for light waves, extremely tiny particles. if a light particle was the size of your finger, the bullet would be the size of the universe. so basically, that huge difference in size makes the wave nature of matter insignificant.
