In the figure here, a red car and a green car move toward each other in adjacent lanes and parallel to an x axis. At time t = 0, the red car is at x, = 0 and the green car is at xg = 216 m. If the red car has a constant velocity of 28.0 km/h, the cars pass each other at x = 44.2 m. On the other hand, if the red car has a constant velocity of 56.0 km/h, they pass each other at x = 76.9 m. What are (a) the initial velocity and (b) the (constant) acceleration of the green car? Include the signs. Green car Red car

A particle that moves along the x-axis has its position given by x=54t – 2t^3 m. At the instant t = 3.0 s, the particle speed is zero. Which of the following statements is correct? a)The particle remains at rest after t = 3.0 s b)The particle does not accelerate any more after t s 3.0 s c)The particle can be in positions x < 0 m only when t < 0 s d)All of the above are correct e)None of the above is correct
A group of students celebrate their first year of medical school with a hot-air balloon ride, which is rising upward with a constant speed of 3.0 m/s. When the balloon is 3.50 m above the ground, one of the students who is taking a selfie with the other students accidentally drops her smart phone over the side of the balloon (fortunately with a OtterBox case). With what speed would the phone hit the ground in m/s? Note that the displacement of the phone dropping 3.50 m would be - 3.50 m. For the same situation as Question 9, how long in seconds would the smart phone be in the air before it hits the ground?

In the figure here, a red car and a green car 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 = 221 m. If the red car has a constant velocity of 29.0 km/h, the cars pass each other at x = 43.0 m. On the other hand, if the red car has a constant velocity of 58.0 km/h, they pass each other at x = 76.9 m. What are (a) the initial velocity (in km/h) and (b) the (constant) acceleration (in m/s2) of the green car? Include the signs. Please type answer no write by hend.

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.

Car A is travelling on a north-bound lane of a two-lane straight highway with an initial velocity of 20 km/hr. Car A is accelerating at a rate of 1 m/s^2. At the same instance car B is travelling the same highway but on the south-bound lane (opposite to the direction of car A). Car B starts from 30 km/hr and is accelerating at a rate of 0.50 m/s^2. Initially the two cars are (800+180) meters apart.How far from the initial position of car A is the point where the two cars pass by each other? Express your answer in unit of meter.
