Why is the following situation impossible? A freight train is lumbering along at a constant speed of 16.0 m/s. Behind the freight train on the same track is a passenger train traveling in the same direction at 40.0 m/s. When the front of the passenger train is 58.5 m from the back of the freight train, the engineer on the passenger train recognizes the danger and hits the brakes of his train, causing the train to move with acceleration 3.00 m/s2. Because of the engineers action, the trains do not collide.
A motorcycle is following a car that is traveling at constant speed on a straight highway. Initially, the car and the motorcycle are both traveling at the same speed of 20.5 m/s , and the distance between them is 60.0 m . After t1= 4.00, he motorcycle starts to accelerate at a rate of 4.00 m/s^2. The motorcycle catches up with the car at some time t2. 1) How long does it take from the moment when the motorcycle starts to accelerate until it catches up with the car? In other words, find t2−t1. 2)How far does the motorcycle travel from the moment it starts to accelerate (at time t1) until it catches up with the car (at time t2)? Should you need to use an answer from a previous part, make sure you use the unrounded value.
A bus is travelling at a constant speed of 20 m/s. A car is 50m behind the bus and begins to accelerate at 5.2 m/s^2 starting from an initial speed of 12 m/s. How long will it take for the car to catch up to the bus?
In an action movie, the villain is rescued from the ocean by grabbing onto the ladder hanging from a helicopter.
