Two cars are moving in the same direction in parallel lanes along a highway. At some instant, the velocity of car A exceeds the velocity of car B. Does that mean that the acceleration of car A is greater than that of car B? Explain.

A bicycle racer sprints at the end of a race to clinch a victory. The racer has an initial velocity of 11.5 m/s and accelerates at the rate of 0.500 m/s2 for 7.00 s. (a) What is his final velocity? (b) The racer continues at this velocity to the finish line. If he was 300 m from the finish line when he started to accelerate, how much time did he save? (c) One other racer was 5.00 m ahead when the winner started to accelerate, but he was unable to accelerate, and traveled at 11.8 m/s until the finish line. How far ahead of him (in meters and in seconds) did the winner finish?
PROBLEM A race car starting from rest accelerates at a constant rate of 5.00 m/s2, (a) What is the velocity of the car after it has traveled 1.00 102 ft? (b) How much time has elapsed? (c) Calculate the average velocity two different ways. STRATEGY Weve read the problem, drawn the diagram in Figure 2.16, and chosen a coordinate system (steps 1 and 2). We'd like to find the velocity v after a certain known displacement x. The acceleration a is also known, as is the initial velocity v0 (step 3, labeling, is complete), so the third equation in Table 2.4 looks most useful for solving part (a). Given the velocity, the first equation in Table 2.4 can then be used to find the time in part (b). Part (c) requires substitution into Equations 2.2 and 2.7, respectively. Figure 2.16 (Example 2.4) SOLUTION (a) Convert units of x to SI, using the information in the inside front cover. Write the kinematics equation for v2 (step 4): Solve for v, taking the positive square root because the car moves to the right (step 5): Substitute v0 = 0, a = 5.00 m/s2, and x = 30.5 m: 1.00 102ft = (1.00 102 ft) v2 = v02 + 2a x v = v02+2ax v = v02+2ax = (0)2+2(5.00m/s2)(30.5m)= 17.5 m/s (b) Find the trooper's speed at that time. Substitute the time into the troopers velocity equation: vtrooper = v0 + atrooper t = 0 + (3.00m/s2)(16.9s) = 50.7 m/s Solve Example 2.5, Car Chase, by a graphical method. On the same graph, plot position versus time for the car and the trooper. From the intersection of the two curves, read the time at which the trooper overtakes the car.
Solve Example 2.8 by a graphical method. On the same graph, plot position versus time for the car and the trooper. From the intersection of the two curves, read the time at which the trooper overtakes the car. Example 2.8 Watch Out for the Speed Limit! You are driving at a constant speed of 45.0 m/s when you pass a trooper on a motorcycle hidden behind a billboard. One second after your car passes the billboard, the trooper sets out from the billboard to catch you, accelerating at a constant rate of 3.00 m/s2. How long does it take the trooper to overtake your car?
