A red car starts from rest at t acceleration of 20 m/s? until it reaches a speed of 80 kph, then maintains this speed. Also, when t = 0, a yellow car located 3.5 km behind is traveling toward the red car at a constant speed of 110 kph. Determine (a) the time and (b) the distance traveled by the red car and yellow car (from t = 0) O and travelling straight along the road with a constant when they pass each other.

A driver, driving at a constant speed of 30m/s in a 50 mph zone, is unaware that he is being observed by an approaching police car (coming toward him from the front). At time t = 0, they are 800m apart and the police car has an approach speed of 40 m/s. When will the police officer catch up with the motorist? a) 80 s b) 68.6 s c) 11.4 s
A spacecraft starts from rest, and makes a journey to a destination 220000 km from its starting point. It does so by accelerating at a constant rate of 7.51 m/s^2 up to the midpoint of the journey, and then decelerates at the same constant rate of 7.51 m/s^2 for the second half of the journey, ending at rest. How long did the entire journey take?
A runner with a good awareness of her pace runs along a path of unknown length at a speed of 0.275 mi/min and then walks back to her starting point at a speed of 0.0500 mi/min. She neglects to note her time for each part of her path, but does measure the total round trip time to be 60.0 min. How far did she run? Do not include the walking distance
Rob drove to the nearest hospital with an average speed of v m/s in t seconds. If he drives home on the same path, but with an average speed of 3v m/s, how long is the return trip home in terms of t?
You are walking down a straight path in a park and notice there is another person walking some distance ahead of you. The distance between the two of you remains the same, so you deduce that you are walking at the same speed of 1.17 m/s.1.17 m/s. Suddenly, you notice a wallet on the ground. You pick it up and realize it belongs to the person in front of you. To catch up, you start running at a speed of 2.85 m/s.2.85 m/s. It takes you 14.5 s14.5 s to catch up and deliver the lost wallet. How far ahead of you was this person when you started running?
A train normally travels with a uniform speed of 72 km / h on a long stretch of flat, straight track. On a certain day, the train must make a 2.0 minute stop at a station on this track. If the train decelerates with a uniform rate of 1.0 m/s^ 2 and after stopping, it accelerates with a rate of 0.50 m/s^ 2. How much time will it have lost by stopping at the station?
A deer is running east to west on a straight line. It runs (a) at a constant speed of 2.5 m/s for the first 24 sec, (b) at a reduced speed (also constant) of 0.6 m/s for the next 15 sec, (c) sprints at a constant speed of 3.1 m/s for the next 1 minute and 40 seconds. Compute the total distance covered and the average speed in mph.
A suspicious-looking man runs as fast as he can along a moving sidewalk from one end to the other, taking 2.50 s.Then security agents appear, and the man runs as fast as he can back along the sidewalk to his starting point, taking 10.0 s.What is the ratio of the man’s running speed to the sidewalk’s speed?
At t=0, a train approaching a station begins decelerating from a speed of 96 mi/hr according to the acceleration function a(t)=−1536(1+8t)−3 mi/hr2, where t≥0. How far does the train travel between t=0 and t=0.1? Between t=0.1 and t=0.4?
A commuter train travels between two downtown stations. Because the stations are only 1.00 km apart, the train never reaches its maximum possible cruising speed. During rush hour the engineer minimizes the time interval t between two stations by accelerating at a rate a1 = 0.100 m/s2 for a time interval t1 and then immediately braking with acceleration a2 = 0.500 m/s2 for a time interval t2. Find the minimum time interval of travel t and the time interval t1.
The speed of a bullet is measured to be 640 m/s as the bullet emerges from a barrel of length 1.20 m.Assuming constant acceleration, find the time that the bullet spends in the barrel after it is fired.
A man walks on sand at speed 1.20 m/s over a distance of 48.0 m, after which he walks on pavement for 102.0 m. How fast must he walk on the pavement so that is average speed for his entire trip is 2.00 m/s?
