A driver is traveling 18.0 m/s when she sees a red light ahead. Her car is capable of decelerating at a rate of 3.65m / (s ^ 2) If it takes her 0.380 s to get the brakes on and she is 24.0 m from the intersection when she sees the light, will she be able to stop in time? How far from the beginning of the intersection will she be, and in which direction?
In a location where the train tracks run parallel to a road, a high-speed train traveling at 100 m/s passes a car traveling at 20 m/s. How long does it take for the train to be 240 m ahead of the car?
A swimmer travels at 0.8 m/s heading south across a small lake. At the same time, a second swimmer heads north from the opposite shore at a speed of 0.4 m/s. How wide is the lake if the two swimmers meet 12 min later?
a driver sees a deer in front of his car about 100.0 meters in front of him. the driver was traveling 50.0m/s before applying the brakes and coming to rest right where the deer was. what acceleration did the driver experience? answer in m/s2?
A red train traveling at 72 km/h and a green train traveling at 144 km/h are headed toward each other on a straight, level track. When they are 950 m apart, each engineer sees the other's train and applies the breaks. The brakes slow each train at the rate of 1.0 m/s^2. Is there a collision? If so, what is the speed of the red train and the speed of the green train? If not, what is the separation between the trains when they stop?
Two trains travel in the opposite direction, leaving each of the opposite stations which call station A and station B. The train A departs at a constant speed of 150[km/h], while the train B leaves from rest with constant acceleration of 1,5[m/s]. HOW far and at what time do the two trenes intersect? Consider that the two stations are separated by a distance of 10[km].
You are on the roof of a Physics Building, 21 m above the ground. Your physics professor, who is 1.71 m tall, is approaching the building at constant speed of 2.04 m/s. If you wish to drop an egg on his head, how far should your professor be when you release the egg?
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.
Archibald, an aging geezer, is out bicycling one fine afternoon, reliving his glorious youth and oblivious to the world around him. As he approaches a busy intersection, a police officer directing traffic blows his whistle to get Archie’s attention so he’ll slow down and stop. But Archie doesn’t stop; he just speeds right through the intersection as if the traffic cop wasn’t even there. The cop radios one of his colleagues and gets her to stop the old geezer. She gives him a traffic citation for failing to heed the command of a police officer directing traffic. When the case gets to traffic court, Archie explains to the judge that he didn’t hear the officer’s whistle because he is going deaf and cannot hear frequencies above 3000 Hz. The traffic cop informs the judge that his standard issue police whistle emits a frequency of 2100 Hz and he has a certificate to prove it. Thinking quickly (at least for an old geezer) Archie says that it may be true that the police whistle emits a sound…
Mohammed is driving his car at 80 km/hr speed from Alaya and Ahmed is driving his car at 60 km/hr from Thapti. If both start at the same time, with Ahmed 200 m ahead, the time in which Mohammed catches Ahmed will be a. 3.6036 s b. 360.36 s c. 36.036 s d. 18.018s
Two cars leave from an intersection at the same time. Car A travels south at 80 km/h, while car B travels east at 60 km/h. At what rate is the distance between the cars increasing one hour later?
Two cars are moving in the same direction in parallel lanes along ahighway. At some instant, car A is traveling faster than car B. Does that mean the acceleration of A is greater than that of B at that instant? (a) Yes. At any instant, a faster object always has a larger acceleration. (b) No. Acceleration only tells how an object's velocity is changing at some instant.
