Driver Y is travelling from town A to town B which is 300km away. He leaves town A at 9am and is travelling at 60km/hr. After an hour of travel his car breaks down. He spends 30 minutes fixing it before resuming his journey. What time does driver X need to leave town A in order to pass driver Y halfway between the two towns if he is travelling at 90km/hr?

4. At 12:00 noon, an arctic explorer starts heading back to his base camp located 5.15 km due north, when a snowstorm suddenly rolls in. Due to poor visibility, he ends up walking 6.22 km at 15.0o east of north until the storm breaks. a) After the storm breaks, how far and in what direction must he walk to get back to his camp? b) If he walks at a constant speed and gets back to his camp at 2:30 PM, at what time (to the nearest minute) did the storm break?

Hello, I had a physics question. "Just as the traffic light changes to green, a Mustang drives through the intersection at a constant velocity of 14.2 m/s [N]. A Camaro that was stopped at the light accelerates from rest at 2.9 m/s^2 [N]. How much time passes before the two cars meet again? How far have they travelled? I figured out how to do the question but I'm really confused on the units of the distance. I used the d = v/t formula and the vit + 1/2at^2 formula but the units I ended up getting were m^2/s^3 for distance when it should just be m.
A hockey player is standing on his skates on a frozen pond when an opposing player, moving with a uniform speed of 2.0 m/s, skates by with the puck. After 1.00 s, the first player makes up his mind to chase his opponent. If he accelerates uniformly at 0.42 m/s2, determine each of the following. (a) How long does it take him to catch his opponent? (Assume the player with the puck remains in motion at constant speed.) (b) How far has he traveled in that time?
Mr. C is standing at the origin on the x-axis at position O. He starts from rest and accelerates at a rate of 2m/s/s [E] for 10s, then travels at a constant speed for 3 additional minutes, and then decides to accelerate at a rate of 1m/s/s[W] until he is travelling at a velocity of 5m/s[W]. Find the final position of Mr. C on the x-axis and the total time that he was in motion.
