Two cars are moving in the same direction in parallel lanes along a highway. At some instant, the velocity of car A exceeds the velocity of car B. Does that mean that the acceleration of car A is greater than that of car B? Explain.
A motorist drives along a straight road at a constant speed of 15.0 m/s. Just as she passes a parked motorcycle police officer, the officer starts to accelerate at 2.00 m/s2 to overtake her. Assuming that the officer maintains this acceleration, (a) determine the time interval required for the police officer to reach the motorist. Find (b) the speed and (c) the total displacement of the officer as he overtakes the motorist.

PROBLEM A race car starting from rest accelerates at a constant rate of 5.00 m/s2, (a) What is the velocity of the car after it has traveled 1.00 102 ft? (b) How much time has elapsed? (c) Calculate the average velocity two different ways. STRATEGY Weve read the problem, drawn the diagram in Figure 2.16, and chosen a coordinate system (steps 1 and 2). We'd like to find the velocity v after a certain known displacement x. The acceleration a is also known, as is the initial velocity v0 (step 3, labeling, is complete), so the third equation in Table 2.4 looks most useful for solving part (a). Given the velocity, the first equation in Table 2.4 can then be used to find the time in part (b). Part (c) requires substitution into Equations 2.2 and 2.7, respectively. Figure 2.16 (Example 2.4) SOLUTION (a) Convert units of x to SI, using the information in the inside front cover. Write the kinematics equation for v2 (step 4): Solve for v, taking the positive square root because the car moves to the right (step 5): Substitute v0 = 0, a = 5.00 m/s2, and x = 30.5 m: 1.00 102ft = (1.00 102 ft) v2 = v02 + 2a x v = v02+2ax v = v02+2ax = (0)2+2(5.00m/s2)(30.5m)= 17.5 m/s (b) Find the trooper's speed at that time. Substitute the time into the troopers velocity equation: vtrooper = v0 + atrooper t = 0 + (3.00m/s2)(16.9s) = 50.7 m/s Solve Example 2.5, Car Chase, by a graphical method. On the same graph, plot position versus time for the car and the trooper. From the intersection of the two curves, read the time at which the trooper overtakes the car.

(b) What time interval is required if there is a tailwind with the same speed? (c) What time interval is required if there is a crosswind blowing at 35.0 km/h to the east relative to the ground?
A car is stopped at a red light. When the light turns green, the car begins to accelerate with a constant acceleration of 4.0 m/s2. Just as the car stands moving, it is passed by a small truck traveling uniformly with a speed of 12 m/s. (a) If each vehicle continues to move as described, find the distance traveled hy each after 1 s, 3 s, 5 s, and 7 s, Assume t = 0 just as the truck passes the car. (b) Plot the data for each vehicle on the same distance-versus-time graph and determine the approximate dime at which the car Overlake the truck. Can you see a way to solve this problem algebraically to find the precise dime using only the kinematic equations?

From the intersection of the two curves, read the time at which the trooper overtakes the car. Example 2.8 Watch Out for the Speed Limit! You are driving at a constant speed of 45.0 m/s when you pass a trooper on a motorcycle hidden behind a billboard. One second after your car passes the billboard, the trooper sets out from the billboard to catch you, accelerating at a constant rate of 3.00 m/s2. How long does it take the trooper to overtake your car?
Chinook salmon are able to move through water especially fast by jumping out of the water periodically. This behavior is called porpoising. Suppose a salmon swimming in still water jumps out of the water with velocity 6.26 m/s at 45.0 above the horizontal, sails through the air a distance L before returning to the water, and then swims the same distance L underwater in a straight, horizontal line with velocity 3.58 m/s before jumping out again. (a) Determine the average velocity of the fish for the entire process of jumping and swimming underwater. (b) Consider the time interval required to travel the entire distance of 2L. By what percentage is this time interval reduced by the jumping/swimming process compared with simply swimming underwater at 3.58 m/s?
