A truck becomes stuck in the sand at a local beach. To help, a friend takes a 50 ft long rope, ties one end to her car, loops the rope around a bar at the front of the truck, and then ties the other end to a stationary tree. If the car accelerates at a rate of 0.2 ft/s², what will the velocity of the truck be by the time it gets to the tree? 1 ft/s 3 ft/s 4 ft/s O 2 ft/s

A bicyclist is moving 6m/s when he is passed by another bicyclist. He instantly begins to accelerate at a rate of o.120m/s2 until he catches up to the other rider, who maintains a constant speed. If he catches the other rider in two minutes, find the speed (in m/s) of the other rider
Jackson Avery is a big fan of skiing. The figure shows one of his jumps in which the path can be treated as a projectile. If he leaves the ramp A at an angle of θ = 24°, determine the velocity (m/s) at which he strikes the ground at B. Use h = 2 m. and L = 109 m.
Two people on bikes are separated by 350 meters. Person A starts riding north at a rate of 5 m/sec and 7 minutes later Person B starts riding south at 3 m/sec. At what rate is the distance separating the two people changing 25 minutes after Person A starts riding?
A race car travels around a horizontal circular truck that has a radius of 300m.If the car increases its speed at a constant rate of 7 m/sec2 starting from rest; determine the time needed for it to reach an acceleration of 8 m/sec2 Note: This is not an assignment question
Two cars A and B are stopped at a traffic light, waiting for the light to change from red to green, see Figure 3. Car B is 6 meters behind car A. When the light turns green, car A starts accelerating at a rate of 0.3 m / sec2, while car B departs 2 seconds later and accelerates at a rate of 0.8 m / sec2. Determine the speed each car was carrying when they are side by side.
Two cars A and B have a velocity of 21.00m/s in the same direction. Car A is 58.12m behind Car B when the breaks are applied to Car B, causing it to decelerate at a constant rate of 3m/s2. a.

Problem#4: Calculate an object’s acceleration when ? = 100 ? and when ? = 175 ?. Refer to the v-s graph below. Problem#5: As a vehicle leaves the first point, it gains a speed at the rate of 4 ??/? 2 for 6 ? and then at the rate of 6 ??/? 2 until it has reached the speed of 48 ??/?. The vehicle maintains the same speed until it approaches the second point; brakes are then applied and the vehicle slows down constantly until it stops in 6 ?. The total running time from first point to second point is 40 ?. Plot the a−t, v−t, and x−t graphs, and calculate the distance between the first and second point.
A body weighing 2,225 N is being dragged along a rough horizontal plane by a force F = 445 N. The coefficient of friction is 1/12 and the line of the pull makes an angle of 18 degrees above the horizontal. Which of the following most nearly gives the velocity of the body after travelling 5.50 m starting from rest?
A motorcyclist at A is traveling at 60 ft/s when he wishes to pass the truck T which is traveling at a constant speed of 60 ft/s. To do so the motorcyclist accelerates at a = 6 ft/s^2 until reaching a maximum speed of 85 ft/s If he then maintains this speed, determine the time needed for him to reach a point located 100 ft in front of the truck. Draw the v-t and s-t graphs for the motorcycle during this time.
