2.2 Speed and Velocity A movie stunt double is supposed to run across the top of a train (in the opposite direction that the train is moving) and just barely jump off before reaching a tunnel, but after reaching the end of the train (starting from the front). If the train is moving at 250 km/hr, is 1 km long and the tunnel is 10 km away from the end (where the stunt double is going to jump from), how fast (in km/hr) will the stunt double need to run? i km/hr

An inquisitive physics student and mountain climber climbs a 51.0-m-high cliff that overhangs a calm pool of water. He throws two stones vertically downward, 1.00 s apart, and observes that they cause a single splash. The first stone has an initial speed of 2.06 m/s. (c) What is the speed of each stone at the instant the two stones hit the water?
2. A motorist saw a humps 33 m away at a speed of 14.5 m/s. He immediately slams on the brake and decelerates 1.2 m/s 2 with a speed of 11.7 m/s. (a) Will he stop before the humps (express your answer in magnitude)? (b) How long it will take before stopping?
Hello, I had a physics question. "Just as the traffic light changes to green, a Mustang drives through the intersection at a constant velocity of 14.2 m/s [N]. A Camaro that was stopped at the light accelerates from rest at 2.9 m/s^2 [N]. How much time passes before the two cars meet again? How far have they travelled? I figured out how to do the question but I'm really confused on the units of the distance. I used the d = v/t formula and the vit + 1/2at^2 formula but the units I ended up getting were m^2/s^3 for distance when it should just be m.
A policeman is standing on the side of the road eating donuts when a politician who stole public funds drives past him at a constant speed of 120m/s. After 3s, the policeman decided to get inside his vehicle and go after the politician. If the police vehicle accelerates uniformly at 40m/s^2 (a) How long does it take him to catch the politician and congratulate him? (b) How far has he traveled in that time? (Assume the politician remained in motion at constant speed)
