Respuesta :

Answer

given,

speed of the vehicle = 130 Km/h

officers accelerates at = 12 km/h/s

time taken by the driver to catch the vehicle = ?

at time t second

[tex]130 t = \dfrac{1}{2}at^2[/tex]

[tex]260 t - 12 t^2 = 0[/tex]

t (12 t - 260 )= 0

12 t =  260

t = 21.67 s

v = u + at

v = 12 × 21.67

v = 260 Km/h
