A person lakes a trip, driving with a constant speed of 89.5 km/h, except, for a 22.0-min rest stop. If the persons average speed is 77.8 km/h, (a) how much time is spent on the trip and (b) how far does the person travel?
Suppose a car is traveling at +24.1 m/s, and the driver sees a traffic light turn red. After 0.405 s has elapsed (the reaction time), the driver applies the brakes, and the car decelerates at 8.00 m/s2. What is the stopping distance of the car, as measured from the point where the driver first notices the red light?
A race car is one lap behind the lead race car when the lead car has 47 laps to go in a race. If the speed of the lead car is 64 m/s, what must be the average speed of the second car to catch the lead car just before the end of the race (i.e., right at the finish line) in m/s? Assume 1 lap is 1.34 km.
A motorist with an expired license tag is travelling at 10.0 m/s down a street, and a policeman on a motorcycle, taking another 5.00 s to finish his donut, gives chase at an acceleration of 2.00 m/s2. Find (a) the time required to catch the car and (b) the distance the trooper travels while overtaking the motorist.
A speeder doing 40.0 mi>h (about 17.9 m>s) in a 25 mi>h zone approaches a parked police car. The instant the speederpasses the police car, the police begin their pursuit. If the speeder maintains a constant velocity, and the police caraccelerates with a constant acceleration of 4.51 m>s2, (a) how much time does it take for the police car to catch thespeeder, (b) how far have the two cars traveled in this time, and (c) what is the velocity of the police car when it catchesthe speeder?
In 15 seconds, an automobile accelerates from rest to 48 miles per hour. For the first six seconds, the acceleration increases consistently with time until it reaches a constant value. After 6 seconds, what is the velocity? in m/s
On dry concrete, a car can decelerate at a rate of 7.00 m/s2, whereas on wet concrete it can decelerate at only5.00 m/s2. Find the distances necessary to stop a car moving at 30.0 m/s (about 110 km/h) (a) on dry concrete and (b) onwet concrete. (c) Repeat both calculations, finding the displacement from the point where the driver sees a traffic light turnred, taking into account his reaction time of 0.500 s to get his foot on the brake.
Ima Rushin can travel from Milwaukee Avenue to the school entrance gate at a constant speed of 22.5 m/s when the lights are green and there is no traffic. On Wednesday, Ima is stopped by a red light at Landwehr Road. She decelerates at -3.95 m/s/s, waits for 45.0 seconds before the light turns green and accelerates back up to speed at 4.91 m/s/s. a. Determine the total time required to decelerate, stop and accelerate back up to speed.b. Determine the amount of time the red light costs the driver (compared to if the car had not been stopped by the red light).
A car traveling 56 km/h is 22.0 m from a barrier when the driver slams on the brakes. The car hits the barrier 2.03 s later. (a) What was the car's constant deceleration before impact? m/s2 (b) How fast was the car traveling at impact? m/s
A pedestrian is running at his maximum speed of 6.0 m/s to catch a bus stopped at a trafficlight. When he is 15 m from the bus, the light changes and the bus accelerates uniformly at 1.00m/s2. Does he make it to the bus? If so, how far does he have to run in order to catch it? If not,how close does he get?
A stone is dropped at height 500 m from the ground. After 2 seconds, another stone isthrown upward with an initial velocity of 70 m/s. Assume acceleration due to gravity is9.81 m/s2.a. What is the time when they will meet?b. What is the height h, from the ground, where they will meet?
A police car is traveling at a velocity of 16.0 m/s due north, when a car zooms by at a constant speed of 50 m/s due north. After a reaction time of 0.700 s the policeman begins to pursue the speeder with an acceleration of 5.00 m/s2. Including the reaction time, how long does it take for the police car to catch up with the speeder?
