A car starts from rest at point O and accelerates uniformly on a straight road for 10 seconds until it reaches point A with a speed of 20 m/s (Stage OA). At point A, the car continues with a constant speed of 20 m/s for 3 minutes (Stage AB). When reaching point B, the brakes are applied and the car decelerates at a constant rate until it stops at point C. The distance travelled by the car from B to C is 20 m (Stage BC).

At t = 0, one athlete in a race running on a long, straight track with a constant speed υ1 is a distance d1 behind a second athlete running with a constant speed υ2. (a) Under what circumstances is the first athlete able to overtake the second athlete? (b) Find the time t at which the first athlete overtakes the second athlete, in terms of d1, υ1, and υ2. (c) At what minimum distance d2 from the leading athlete must the finish line be located so that the trailing athlete can at least tie for first place? Express d2 in terms of d1, υ1, and υ2 byusing the result of part (b).
A particle moves down a horizontal route that begins 5 feet to the right of a specific point P with an initial velocity of 4 feet per second. Another particle is going along the same route, beginning 3 feet to the left of P with an initial velocity of 8 feet per second. Consider that the accelerations of the two particles are a1(t) = 2t 3 and a2(t) = 2t 5, respectively. Will the particles collide? Justify your response
Sketch a position vs time graph, a velocity vs time graph, and an acceleration vs time graph for the situation described below. At time t = 0 you are walking in the positive x direction with a constant speed of 1 m/s. You maintain that speed for 6 s. Then, you decrease your speed uniformly to 0 over a 2 s interval. You rest for 2 s, then turn around and increase your speed uniformly to 2 m/s in 4 s. You continue at that speed until you return to the starting place.
Mr. C is standing at the origin on the x-axis at position O. He starts from rest and accelerates at a rate of 2m/s/s [E] for 10s, then travels at a constant speed for 3 additional minutes, and then decides to accelerate at a rate of 1m/s/s[W] until he is travelling at a velocity of 5m/s[W]. Find the final position of Mr. C on the x-axis and the total time that he was in motion.
Cars A and B are racing each other along the same straight road in the following manner: Car A has a head start and is a distance DA beyond the starting line at t=0. The starting line is at x=0. Car A travels at a constant speed vA. Car B starts at the starting line but has a better engine than Car A, and thus Car B travels at a constant speed vB, which is greater than vA. How long after Car B started the race will Car B catch up with Car A? ive figured xA=x0+vAt and xB=vBt what do i do next, setting them equal to each other does not work, right?
In a boat race, boat A is leading boat B by 50 meters and both boats are traveling at a constant speed of 180 km/h. At time = 0, the boats accelerate at constant rates. Knowing that when B passes A, time = 8 seconds and acceleration= 225 km/h determine (a) the acceleration of A in meters per second square, (b) the acceleration of B in meters per second square.

The acceleration of the ball is zero b. The acceleration of the ball is 9.8 m/s^2 down c. b. The acceleration of the ball is 9.8 m/s^2 down d. The velocity of the ball is zero
A ball is tossed up into the air with a velocity of 50 m/s. The figure to the left shows the position of the ball at equal time intervals on its upward travel. Answer the following questions regarding the instantaneous velocity and acceleration of the ball: a. The velocity of the ball has decreased from point B to point C. (True/ False/ Insufficient Information) b. Where does the ball have the smallest velocity? (Position A/ PositionB/ Position C/ Position D/ Insufficient Information ) c. What is the direction of the acceleration of the ball at point A? (Up/ Down/ There is no acceleration/ Insufficient Information ) d. The acceleration and velocity of the ball both are upwards at point A. (True/ False/ Insufficient Information)
A car that moves in a linear motion starts to move with an acceleration of 5.6 m / s2, which smoothly drops to zero within 17 seconds while at rest, and continues to move at a constant speed at the end of 17 seconds. How long it takes while the distance is 451 m that has been traveled from the beginning?
A jogger jogs from one end to the other of a straight track in 1.03 min and then back to the starting point in 1.44 min. What is the jogger's average speed at the following points? (Assume the track is 100 m long.) (a) in jogging to the far end of the track m/s (b) coming back to the starting point m/s (c) for the total jog m/s
The brakes on your car can slow you at a rate of 5.2 m/s2. (a) If you are going 137 km/h and suddenly see a state trooper, what is the minimum time in which you can get your car under the 90 km/h speed limit? (The answer reveals the futility of braking to keep your high speed from being detected with a radar or laser gun.) (b) Graph x versus t and v versus t for such a slowing.
Most important in an investigation of an airplane crash by the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board is the data stored on the airplane’s flight-data recorder, commonly called the “black box” in spite of its orange coloring and reflective tape.The recorder is engineered to withstand a crash with an average deceleration of magnitude 3450 g during a time interval of 6.49 ms. In such a crash, if the recorder and airplane have zero speed at the end of that time interval, what is their speed at the beginning of the interval?
