Joe decides to race his younger sister, Debbie, and gives her a 25 m head start. At the instant Joe starts running, his sister reaches a velocity of 14 m/s [W] while accelerating at 0.5 m/s² [W]. If Joe accelerates at a rate of 1.2 m/s² [W], how long does it take for him to catch up to his sister?

A car traveling at 35.0 m/s takes 26.0 minutes to travel a certain distance according to the drivers clock in the car. How long does the trip take according to an observer at rest on Earth? Hint: The following approximation is helpful: [1x]121+12xforx1.
The truck in Figure P39.1 is moving at a speed of 10.0 m/s relative to the ground. The person on the truck throws a baseball in the backward direction at a speed of 20.0 m/s relative to the truck. What is the velocity of the baseball as measured by the observer on the ground? Figure P39.1
(a) Use the distance and velocity data in Figure 3.64 to find the rate of expansion as a function of distance. (b) If you extrapolate back in time, how long ago would all of the galaxies have been at approximately the same position? The two parts of this problem give you some idea of how the Hubble constant for universal expansion and the time back to the Big Bang are determined, respectively. Figure 3.64 Five galaxies on a straight line, showing their distances and velocities relative to the Milky Way (MW) Galaxy. The distances are in millions of light years (Mly), where a light year is the distance light travels in one year. The velocities are nearly proportional to the distances. The sizes of the galaxies are greatly exaggerated; an average galaxy is about 0.1 MlY across.
