In the Cars 2011 auto race, Lightning McQueen and Miguel Camino are moving side by side down a straightaway at 71.5 m/s. Lightning McQueen realizes he must make a pit stop, and he smoothly slows to a stop over a distance of 250 m. He spends 5.00 secs in the pit and then accelerates out, reaching his previous speed of 71.5 m/s after a distance of 350 m. At this point, how far has Lightning McQueen fallen behind Miguel Camino which has continued at a constant speed?

Referring to the figure, a truck drives a distance d=30.1m in the positive x direction in a time t1=17.2s, at which point the truck brakes, coming to rest in t2=8.13s. Part A: What is the truck's average velocity in the horizontal direction, in meters per second, during the t1 time period? Part B: Assuming the truck started from rest and moved with a constant acceleration, what was the acceleration, in meters per suqared second, during the time interval t1? Part C: What was the truck's instananeous velocity in the horizontal direction, in meters per second, when it began braking? And using the result from the previous answer, what was the truck's horizontal component of acceleration, in meters per squared second, during the braking period? Please explain how you got your answer in detail.
A space shuttle is launched from rest. It takes 8.00 s to reach 158 km/h , and at the end of the first 1.00 min its speed is 1580 km/h . Assuming the acceleration is constant during each time interval (but not necessarily the same in both intervals), what distance does the shuttle travel during the interval from 8.00 s to 1.00 min?
Which of the following is the correct conversion of initial velocity in base SI units? Refer to the problem given below. Lamborghini Murcielago is one of the most iconic cars ever as it was featured as a Batmobile in the third installment of Batman Trilogy directed by Christopher Nolan. If it can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 3 seconds, what is its rate of change in velocity per unit time? (1 mile is equal to 1.61 kilometers)

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.
