Hi, I'm after some help because my intelligence doesn't stretch as far as you guys!
I am being taken to court for speeding, the police officer has stated in her evidence that she saw me traveling at 80 mph, that at that time she was traveling at 70 mph. She then states that both she and I were traveling at 120-130 mph by the time we passed a bridge which is 185 meters from where she first saw me.
My question is, if I accelerated from 80 mph to 120 mph in a distance of 185 meters (and she accelerated from 70mph to the same speed) what was the time taken to travel that distance (obviously I want to prove that our vehicles were not capable of what she states). I understand that any calculation would presume constant acceleration but that's the best I can hope for.
Thanks
