Cars A and B approarched each other on a straight road from points 460m apart. Car A has an initial speed of 70 km/hr and is decelerating at the rate of 0.40 m/s^2. Car b has an initial speed of 20 km/hr and is accelerating at the rate of 0.30 m/s^2. When will the cars meet and how far will each have travelled? Illustrate.

If you travel in a straight line at 50 km/h for 1 h and at 100 km/h for another hour, is your average velocity 75 km/h? If not, is it more or less? Explain.
One aeroplane travels due north at 300km/h while another travels due south at 300km/h. Are their speeds the same? Are their velocities the same? Explain.
In a boat race, boat A is leading boat B by 50 meters and both boats are traveling at a constant speed of 180 km/h. At time = 0, the boats accelerate at constant rates. Knowing that when B passes A, time = 8 seconds and acceleration= 225 km/h determine (a) the acceleration of A in meters per second square, (b) the acceleration of B in meters per second square.
The driver of a car slams on the brakes when he sees a tree blocking the road. The car slows uniformly with an acceleration of 5.60 m/s2 for 4.20 s, making straight skid marks 62.4 m long, all the way to the tree. With what speed does the car then strike the tree?
Two stones are thrown vertically upward at the same time, one with an initial velocity of 32 ft/s from a height of 128 ft, the other with an initial velocity of 64 ft/s from a height of 80 ft. If the stones travel along parallel paths, when will the second stone overtake the first?
A truck and a car travel on a straight road with equal speeds of 72km / h, when the car is 5 m behind the truck it begins to accelerate at a rate of 2.5m / s ^ 2 until it is 55 meters in front of the truck. the maximum speed reached by the car was 90 km / h, determine the minimum time that the operation takes
If a car were to start at rest and move along a straight road at a constant acceleration reaching a speed of 14 ms-1 in 4 s, the what would be the magnitude of the constant acceleration of the car? And how fast will the car be travelling if it maintains this acceleration over a distance of 140 m from its starting point?
A car is travelling at a constant speed of 100 km.hr at the highway when the driver noticed that the bridge 10 m away is cut off. If the driver immediately applied the brakes upon noticing the cut off bridge, what must be his deceleration so he would not fall to the river?
A red car and a green car, identical except for the colour, move toward each other in adjacent lanes and parallel to an x-axis. At time t = 0, the red car is at Xr = 0 and the green car is at Xg = 220 m. If the red car has a constant velocity of 20 km/h, the cars pass each other at x = 44.5 m, and if it has a constant velocity of 40 km/h, they pass each other at x = 76.6 m. What are (a) the initial velocity and (b) the constant acceleration of the green car?

After 3.0s, the first player makes up his mind to chase his opponent. If he accelerates uniformly at 4.0 m/s, how long does it take him to catch his opponent?
