Problem 2: You are driving in a car with your friend, who is speeding around the corner of a highway. You are worried for your safety, so you ask your friend how fast they are going. Your friend responds, "I am going around this corner at a constant velocity of 65 mph." Is their statement physically correct? No, cars always slow down as they go around corners. No, the word "velocity" is being used incorrectly. OIt might make sense, depending on extra information which is not being given in the problem? Yes, this statement is acceptable.

In the Cars 2011 auto race, Lightning McQueen and Miguel Camino are moving side by side down a straightaway at 71.5 m/s. Lightning McQueen realizes he must make a pit stop, and he smoothly slows to a stop over a distance of 250 m. He spends 5.00 secs in the pit and then accelerates out, reaching his previous speed of 71.5 m/s after a distance of 350 m. At this point, how far has Lightning McQueen fallen behind Miguel Camino which has continued at a constant speed?
The Bugatti Veyron can go from 0-100km/h in 2.46s. It takes another 7.34s at a different acceleration to go from 100km/h to 240km/h. Assume the accelerations are constant. (Please include a diagram and convert km/h to m/s). a) Calculate the acceleration of the car over the first 2.46s. b) How much distance does the car have to cover to reach a speed of 240km/h? c) The speed of the car is limited to 415km/h to protect the tires. If the car maintains the acceleration that it had at 240km/h, how long would it take the car to reach 415km/h?
A commuter is driving a car along a straight road at a constant speed of 15.5 m/s. Just as she passes a law officer parked along the side of the road, the officer starts to accelerate 3.50 m/s2 to overtake her. Assume that the officer maintains this acceleration. What If? Determine the answers to parts (a) through (c) of the problem, if instead of accelerating at the same instant the car passes him, the officer instead begins his acceleration 1.00 s after the car passes him. (Enter the time in s, speed in m/s, and displacement in m.) time s speed m/s displacement m
Physics Review A hockey player strikes a puck, giving it an initial velocity of 10.0 m/s in the positive x-direction. The puck slows uniformly to 6.00 m/s when it has traveled 40.0 m. (a) What is the pucks acceleration? (b) At what velocity is it traveling after 2.00 s? (c) How long does it take to travel 40.0 m? (See Section 2.5.)
Hannah tests her new sports car by racing with Sam, an experienced racer. Both start from rest, but Hannah leaves the starting line 1.00 s after Sam does. Sam moves with a constant acceleration of 3.50 m/s2, while Hannah maintains an acceleration of 4.90 m/s2. Find (a) the time at which Hannah overtakes Sam, (b) the distance she travels before she catches him, and (c) the speeds of both cars at the instant Hannah overtakes Sam.

(d) The velocity of the car remains constant, (e) None of statements (a) through (d) is true.
A truck tractor pulls two trailers, one behind the other, at a constant speed of 1.00 102 km/h. It takes 0.600 s for the big rig to completely pass onto a bridge 4.00 102 m long. For what duration of time is all or part of the truck-trailer combination on the bridge?
Which of the following statements is true? (a) If a car is traveling eastward, its acceleration must be eastward. (b) If a car is slowing down, its acceleration must be negative. (c) A particle with constant acceleration can never stop and stay stopped.
An object moves with constant acceleration 4.00 m/s2 and over a lime interval reaches a final velocity of 12.0 m/s. (a) If its initial velocity is 6.00 m/s, what is its displacement during the time interval? (b) What is the distance it travels during this interval? (c) If its initial velocity is -6.00 m/s, what is its displacement during points, (d) Does the change in speed of the downward-moving rock agree with the magnitude of the speed change of the rock moving upward between the same elevations? (e) Explain physically why it does or does not agree.
Why is the following situation impossible? A freight train is lumbering along at a constant speed of 16.0 m/s. Behind the freight train on the same track is a passenger train traveling in the same direction at 40.0 m/s. When the front of the passenger train is 58.5 m from the back of the freight train, the engineer on the passenger train recognizes the danger and hits the brakes of his train, causing the train to move with acceleration 3.00 m/s2. Because of the engineers action, the trains do not collide.
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.
An ambulance driver is rushing a patient to the hospital. While traveling at 71.1 km/h, she notices the traffic light at the upcoming intersection has turned yellow. To reach the intersection before the light turns red, she must travel 52 m in 2.17 seconds. What is the magnitude of the minimum acceleration, in m/s2, required to reach the intersection before the light turns red?
