Let SA = 15t2 + 10t + 20 and SB = 5t2 + 40t, t greater than or equal to 0, be the position of cars A and B, respectively, that are moving along parallel straight lanes of a highway, t in minutes and s in inches). How far is A ahead of car B when t is 0? At what instant of time do they have the same velocity.which car is ahead at that instant
Two cars travel in the same direction along a straight highway, one at a constant speed of 55 mi/h and the other at 60 mi/h. Assuming they start at the same point, how much sooner does the faster car arrive at a destination 6 mi away? How far must the faster car travel before it has a 15-min lead on the slower car?
Initially, the car travels along a straight road with a speed of 35 m/s. If the brakes are applied and the speed of the car is reduced to 10 m/s in 15 s, determine the constant deceleration of the car. Select one: a. 1.67 to the right b. 1.67 to the left c. 2.33 to the right d. 2.33 to the left
A football player carrying the ball runs straight ahead at the line of scrimmage and directly into a wall of defensive linemen. The ball carrier has an initial speed of 8.56 m/s and is stopped in a time interval of 0.182 s. Find the magnitude and direction of his average acceleration.
Car A moves to the right with velocity 12 m/s. As soon as it reachesCar B, Car A accelerates at 3.00 m/s^2 . At the same time, starting from rest, Car B also accelerates at 5.00 m/s^2. How far will Car B have to travel to catch up with Car A?
Car A is parked along the northbound lane of a highway, and car B is traveling in the southbound lane at a constant speed of 60 mi/h. At t=0, A starts and accelerates at a constant rate a A , while at t= 5 s, B begins to slow down with a constant deceleration of magnitude a A 6. Knowing that when the cars pass each other x = 294 ft and VA = VB , determine (a) the acceleration aA,(b) when the vehicles pass each other, (c) the distance d between the vehicles at t=0.
Two cars leave from an intersection at the same time. Car A travels south at 80 km/h, while car B travels east at 60 km/h. At what rate is the distance between the cars increasing one hour later?
If a ball is thrown straight up into the air with an initial velocity of 70 ft/s, it height in feet after ? second is given by y=70t−16t^2. Find the average velocity for the time period begining when t=2 and lasting 0.1 seconds = 0.01 seconds= 0.001 seconds= Finally based on the above results, guess what the instantaneous velocity of the ball is when ?=2.

In a friendly game of chicken, Car A has a starting distance of 160m in front of Car B. Both cars start with the same speed of 100 km/h, and both cars accelerate at constant rates. Knowing that Car B accelerates at 4.25 m/s^2. And car A accelerates at 4.00 m/s^2 . Determine the position in meters, that they crash.
A hot-air balloon is drifting in level flight due east at 3.0 m/s due to a light wind. The pilot suddenly notices that the balloon must gain 20 m of altitude in order to clear the top of a hill 130 m to the east. How much time does the pilot have to make the altitude change without crashing into the hill? What minimum, constant, upward acceleration is needed in order to clear the hill?
