Physics 1 Constant Acceleration 2-Object Problems1, A truck is stopped at a stoplight. When the light turns green, the truck accelerates at 2.5 m/s². At the sameinstant, a car passes the truck going a constant speed of 15 m/s. Where and when does the truck catch up withthe car? 180m, 12s2. During a demolition derby, 2 cars are initially facing each other so they willI be moving in opposite directions. Thered car accelerates from rest at 3m/s?. The green car, initially moving at 4m/s, accelerates at 1.8 m/s². If theystart 100m from each other, where will they collide? 5.68s at 48.4m3. During a demolition derby, 2 cars are initially facing each other so they will be moving in opposite directions. Thered car, initially traveling at 8m/s, increases speed by accelerating at 3m/s2. The green car, initially moving at4m/s west, decreases speed with an acceleration of 0.4m/s2. If they start 100m from each other, where will theycollide? 5.3s at 84.5mA ball is dropped from 50m above the ground at the same moment a rock is thrown straight up from the groundwith an initial velocity of 20m/s. Where and when will they collide? 2.5s, 19.38m4.5. A driver unknowingly passes a cop while traveling at 11m/s while accelerating at 1.4m/s2. From the moment thedriver passes the cop, it takes the cop 1.75 seconds to start the car and hit the gas. The cop car accelerates at4.3m/s2. (Hint.) Treat this like a 2 part problem. Part 1: Just the car moving for 1.75 seconds. Part 2: Both carsmoving) (a) How long will it take for the cop to catch up to the driver? 10.66s b) How far will the cop travel?244.3mchrome

6) A hypothetical spaceship takes a straight-line path from the Earth to the moon, a distance of about 400,000 km. Suppose it accelerates at 10.0 m/s2 for the first 20 minutes of the trip, then travels at constant speed until the last 20 minutes, when it accelerates at -10.0 m/s2, just coming to rest as it reaches the moon. What total time in minutes is required for the trip?
