Homework Statement
This problem-solving question is about a police car chasing criminals.
Two cars are moving in the same direction, parallel (assumed).
One car is moving at 82 km/h.
The other car is moving at 64 km/h.
Bullets are fired from the car moving at 82 km/h towards the car moving at 64 km/h at a rate of 15 bullets per second.
a) what is the spread of the bullets that hit the car?
b) how many bullets hit the car?
Homework Equations
I think I'm supposed to use kinematic equations:
s=ut+0.5*at squared
v squared = u squared + 2as
v = u+at
s= (u+v)/2*t
