In the figure here, a red car and a green car move toward each other in adjacent lanes and parallel to an x axis. At time t = 0, the red car is at xr = 0 and the green car is at xg = 217 m. If the red car has a constant velocity of 24.0 km/h, the cars pass each other at x = 44.0 m. On the other hand, if the red car has a constant velocity of 48.0 km/h, they pass each other at x = 76.1 m. What are (a) the initial velocity and (b) the (constant) acceleration of the green car? Include the signs.
One train is traveling 120 m with a velocity of 52 km/h and a second train is traveling in the opposite direction with a velocity of 20 km/h. How long will it take for them to completely pass one another?
A hot-air balloon is rising upward with a constant speed of 2.93 m/s. When the balloon is 2.03 m above the ground, the balloonist accidentally drops a compass over the side of the balloon. How much time elapses before the compass hits the ground?
the velocity of an object is given by the expression v (t) = 3.00m / s + (2.00 m / s ^ 3) t ^ 2. determine the position of the object as a function of time without being located at x = 1.00m at time t = 0.00s
In the figure here, a red car and a green car move toward each other in adjacent lanes and parallel to an x axis. At time t = 0, the red car is at xr = 0 and the green car is at xg = 221 m. If the red car has a constant velocity of 29.0 km/h, the cars pass each other at x = 43.0 m. On the other hand, if the red car has a constant velocity of 58.0 km/h, they pass each other at x = 76.9 m. What are (a) the initial velocity (in km/h) and (b) the (constant) acceleration (in m/s2) of the green car? Include the signs. Please type answer no write by hend.
A red car and a green car, identical except for the colour, move toward each other in adjacent lanes and parallel to an x-axis. At time t = 0, the red car is at Xr = 0 and the green car is at Xg = 220 m. If the red car has a constant velocity of 20 km/h, the cars pass each other at x = 44.5 m, and if it has a constant velocity of 40 km/h, they pass each other at x = 76.6 m. What are (a) the initial velocity and (b) the constant acceleration of the green car?
Car A is travelling on a north-bound lane of a two-lane straight highway with an initial velocity of 20 km/hr. Car A is accelerating at a rate of 1 m/s^2. At the same instance car B is travelling the same highway but on the south-bound lane (opposite to the direction of car A). Car B starts from 30 km/hr and is accelerating at a rate of 0.50 m/s^2. Initially the two cars are (800+180) meters apart.How far from the initial position of car A is the point where the two cars pass by each other? Express your answer in unit of meter.
A sperm whale can accelerate at about 0.140 m/s^2 when swimming on the surface of the ocean. How far will it travel if it starts at a speed of 1.20 m/s and accelerates to a speed of 2.5 m/s? Assume the whale travels in a straight line.
An atom is constrained to move along the horizontal axis only. At time t = 0.5 s, the atom is at x = 0.06 m. At time t = 2.8 s, the atom is at x = 0.46 m. What is the atom's average velocity?
If a rock is thrown with an initial velocity of 5.4 m/s in the y-direction and 8.2 m/s in the x-direction. At what angle was the rock thrown?
The driver of a car slams on the brakes when he sees a tree blocking the road. The car slows uniformly with an acceleration of 5.60 m/s2 for 4.20 s, making straight skid marks 62.4 m long, all the way to the tree. With what speed does the car then strike the tree?
