3. A locomotive train is on its way from Chicago, IL to Madison, WI. The trip is said to last 3.15 hours. When the train arrives in Madison, the conductor notices it actually took them 3.26 hours. The train company prides itself on always having its train to the station within a 3% error of the expected time. Will the train company live up its regulation on this trip?

Suppose you are driving your car on a business trip and are traveling at 30 m/s. Your boss, who is waiting at your destination, expects the trip to take 5.0 h. When you arrive late, your excuse is that the clock in your car registered the passage of 5.0 h but that you were driving fast and so your clock ran more slowly than the clock in your boss’s office. If your car clock actually did indicate a 5.0-h trip, how much time passed on your boss’s clock, which was at rest on the Earth?
My mutt dog who seems to be a mix of pug, schnauzer, and dachshund, Boomer, likes to eat worms. He spots a juicy one in the grass and takes off from our porch at 5.22 m/s. When he reaches the worm, 8.16 m from our porch, he determines it's not up to his dog standards and decides to let it live another day. How long did it take Boomer to reach the worm, to two decimal places?
After robbing a bank in Dodge City, a robber gallops off at 13 mi/h. 20 minutes later, the marshall leaves to pursue the robber at 15 mi/h. How long (in hours) does it take the marshall to catch up to the robber?
Jane is driving down the road at 20.0 m/s looking for a house address. when she sees the house, she slams on her brakes. If her reaction time is 1.20s and her car deaccelerates at 3.50 m/s^2, how far past the point where she first saw the house did her car come to rest? I feel like I need to use one of the 4 kinematics equations, but none seem to be giving me the correct answer when I plug in my numbers :(
A thief escapes and boarded on a truck and traveled at a constant speed of 55 kph. Two hours later after the truck left, a policeman riding on a motorbike pursued the fugitive at a constant speed of 80 kph. How long did it take the policeman to catch up the criminal?
The Moon is about 3.8 ✕ 108 m from Earth. Traveling at the speed of light, 3.0 ✕ 108 m/s, how long does it take a laser beam to go from Earth to the Moon and back again (in s)? The same physics was responsible for the noticeable delay in communications signals between lunar astronauts and controllers at the Houston Space Flight Center.

1. Andrew and Kevin decide to try out the physics ideas that they are learning and take their baseball pitching machine and a baseball to a 96 feet tall local building. Based on what they have learned the height, s(t), of a baseball, thrown straight up with an initial speed of 80 feet per second from a rooftop 96 feet high is s(t)=-16t^2+80t+96 where t is the elapsed time that the baseball is in the air. The baseball that is pitched miss the rooftop on their way down and eventually strike the ground. a) What is the average velocity of a baseball from t=0 to t=2 seconds? b) What is the velocity of the baseball 2 seconds after it is thrown? c) After how many seconds will the velocity of the baseball reach zero? d) What is the velocity of the baseball t seconds after it is thrown? e) What is the velocity of the baseball as it passes the roof top on the way down?
Two locomotives approach each other on parallel tracks. Each has a speed vv = 150 km/hkm/h with respect to the ground. If they are dd = 9.0 kmkm initially apart, how long will it be before they reach each other? (See the figure.) answer using two significant figures.
