Two ducks, Donald and Cassiopeia, are gliding gracefully toward eachother along a pond, in a straight line. Donald is initially moving at v =0.500 m/s, and begins accelerating at 0.100 m/s2 at t = 0 s. Cassiopeiamoves at a constant speed of v = 0.700 m/s. If they are initially separatedby 25.0 m, where will they collide? Take Donald’s initial position as theorigin. How long will it take for them to collide?
Two trains A and B of length 800 m each are moving on two parallel tracks with a uniform speed of 144 km h-1 in the same direction, with A ahead of B. The driver of B decides to overtake A and accelerates by 2 m s-2. If after 100 s, the guard of B just brushes past the driver of A, what was the original distance between them ?
A boat moves at a distance (in km) of S(t) = t2 - 400t where t in minutes is the time passed since the boat started moving at 6:00 AM. What is the velocity of the train at exactly 9:00 AM?
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?
A particle is moving with a velocity of 60m/s in the positive x-direction at t = 0s. Between t = 0s andt = 15s, the velocity decreases uniformly to zero. What was the acceleration during this 15s interval? Whatis the signi cance of the sign of your answer?
A hockey player is standing on his skates on a frozen pondwhen an opposing player, moving with a uniform speed of 12m/s, skates by with the puck. After 3.0 s, the first player makesup his mind to chase his opponent. If he accelerates uniformlyat 4.0 m/s2, (a) how long does it take him to catch his opponent,and (b) how far has he traveled in that time? (Assumethe player with the puck remains in motion at constant speed.)
A student see's her physical professor approaching on the side walk that runs by her dorm , She gets a water ballon and waits. When the professor is 2.0s from being directly under the window about 11m from the sidewalk , she drops the balloon what happens?
In a scene in an action movie, a stuntman jumps from the top of one building to the top of another building 4.00 m away. After a running start, he leaps at an angle of 15.0o with respect to the flat roof while traveling at a speed of 5.00 m/s. Will he make it to the other roof, which is 2.50 m shorter than the building he jumps from?
A typical jetliner lands at a speed of 160 mi/h and decelerates at the rate of (10.0 mi/h)/s. If the plane travels at a constant speed of 160 mi/h for 1.00 s after landing before applying the brakes, what is the total displacement of the aircraft between touchdown on the runway and coming to rest?
. The engineer of a passenger train traveling at 25.0 m/s sees a freight train whose caboose is 200 m ahead on the same track. The freight train is traveling at 15.0 m/s in the same direction as the passenger train. The engineer of the passenger train immediately applies the brakes, causing a constant acceleration of 0.100 m/s2in a direction opposite to the train’s velocity, while the freight train continues with constant speed. Take x = 0 at the location of the front of the passenger train when the engineer applies the brakes. (a) Will the cows nearby witness a collision? (b) If so, where will it take place?
