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.
For the instant represented, car A is rounding the circular curve at a constant speed of 23 mi/hr, while car B is slowing down at the rate of 4.5 mi/hr per second. Determine the magnitude of the acceleration that car A appears to have to an observer in car B.
A car moves in a straight line with a velocity of v = (3t2-7t) m/s, and t is in seconds. Determine its acceleration in m/s2 at t = 5s if when t=0, x=0.
Car A starts from rest at t = 0 and travels along a straight road with a constant acceleration of 6 ft/s^2 until it reaches a speed of 80 ft/s. Afterwards it maintains this speed. Also, when t = 0, car B located 6000 ft down the road is traveling towards A at a constant speed of 60 ft/s. Determine the distance traveled by car A when they pass each other.
An automobile starting from rest speeds up to 40 meters per seconds with a constant acceleration of 4 meter per seconds square, runs at this speed for a time, and finally comes to rest with a deceleration of 5 meters per second square. If the total distance traveled is 1000 meters, find the (a) distance traveled covered during the acceleration, (b) distance traveled at constand speed, and (c) the total time of travel.
Car A is traveling at a constant speed vA = 127 km/h at a location where the speed limit is 100 km/h. The police officer in car P observes this speed via radar. At the moment when A passes P, the police car begins to accelerate at the constant rate of 5.0 m/s2 until a speed of 171 km/h is achieved, and that speed is then maintained. Determine the distance s required for the police officer to overtake car A. Neglect any nonrectilinear motion of P.

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.
In traveling a distance of 3.3 km between points A and D, a car is driven at 86 km/h from A to B for t seconds and 42 km/h from C to D also for t seconds.

(TRAFFIC AND HIGHWAY ENGINEERING)Figure below shows vehicles traveling at constant speeds on a two-lane highway between sections X and Y with their positions and speeds obtained at an instant of time by photography. An observer located at point X observes the four vehicles passing point X during a period of T sec. The velocities of the vehicles are measured as 70, 70, 65, and 50 (km/h), respectively. Calculate the flow, density, time mean speed, and space mean speed.
