In a 200.0-m relay race (each leg of the race is 50.0 m long), one swimmer has a 0.450 second lead and is swimming at a constant speed of 3.90 m/s towards the opposite end of the pool. What minimum speed must the second swimmer have in order to catch up with the first swimmer by the end of the pool?

At t = 0, one athlete in a race running on a long, straight track with a constant speed υ1 is a distance d1 behind a second athlete running with a constant speed υ2. (a) Under what circumstances is the first athlete able to overtake the second athlete? (b) Find the time t at which the first athlete overtakes the second athlete, in terms of d1, υ1, and υ2. (c) At what minimum distance d2 from the leading athlete must the finish line be located so that the trailing athlete can at least tie for first place? Express d2 in terms of d1, υ1, and υ2 byusing the result of part (b).
A rail gun shoots a projectile in a straight line with acceleration aa and in time tt as defined by the equation a(t)=3−2t. If the projectile from the launcher reaches a velocity of 10 at t=1 and if s(t) is the distance of the projectile from the rail gun at time t, find s(5)−s(1)
During the time interval 0 < t < 1, the velocity of an object as a function of time is v = 5 + 3t^2 + 2t^3. Knowing that the object follows a rectilinear trajectory, What is the correct expression for the acceleration?
On a one lane road, a person driving a car at v1 = 58 mi/h suddenly notices a truck 1.1 mi in front of him. That truck is moving in the same direction at v2 = 35 mi/h. In order to avoid a collision, the person has to reduce the speed of his car to v2 during time interval Δt. The smallest magnitude of acceleration required for the car to avoid a collision is a. During this problem, assume the direction of motion of the car is the positive direction. 1. Use the expressions you entered in parts (c) and (f) and enter an expression for a in terms of d, v1, and v2. a = ( v2 - v1 )/Δt Δt = ( 2 ) ( d )/( v1 - v2 ) 2. Calculate the value of a in meters per second squared.
