A truck tractor pulls two trailers, one behind the other, at a constant speed of 1.00 102 km/h. It takes 0.600 s for the big rig to completely pass onto a bridge 4.00 102 m long. For what duration of time is all or part of the truck-trailer combination on the bridge?
To pass a physical education class at a university, a student must run 1.0 mi in 12 min. After running for 10 min, she still has 500 yd to go. If her maximum acceleration is 0.15 m/s2, can she make it? If the answer is no, determine what acceleration she would need to be successful.

Hannah tests her new sports car by racing with Sam, an experienced racer. Both start from rest, but Hannah leaves the starting line 1.00 s after Sam does. Sam moves with a constant acceleration of 3.50 m/s2, while Hannah maintains an acceleration of 4.90 m/s2. Find (a) the time at which Hannah overtakes Sam, (b) the distance she travels before she catches him, and (c) the speeds of both cars at the instant Hannah overtakes Sam.
