Suppose the caravan of 10 cars begins immediately in front of the first toll booth, travels 20 km to a second toll booth, then another 40 km to a third toll booth, and finally stops immediately after the third tool booth. Thus, they travel a total of 60 km. What is the total end-to-end delay? Where is the last car in the caravan after one hour? Your answer must include a distance/specific location, and not only a relative direction

Jane is driving down the road at 20.0 m/s looking for a house address. when she sees the house, she slams on her brakes. If her reaction time is 1.20s and her car deaccelerates at 3.50 m/s^2, how far past the point where she first saw the house did her car come to rest? I feel like I need to use one of the 4 kinematics equations, but none seem to be giving me the correct answer when I plug in my numbers :(
Two runners start simultaneously from the same point on a circular 200-m track and run in opposite directions. One runs at a constant speed of 6.20 m/s, and the other runs at a constant speed of 5.50 m/s. When they first meet, (a) for how long a time will they have been running, and (b) how far will each one have run along the track?
If the nerve cell connecting the spinal cord to your feet is 1.9 m long, and the nerve impulse speed is 22 m/s, how many seconds does it take for the nerve signal to travel this distance?
Hello, I had a physics question. "Just as the traffic light changes to green, a Mustang drives through the intersection at a constant velocity of 14.2 m/s [N]. A Camaro that was stopped at the light accelerates from rest at 2.9 m/s^2 [N]. How much time passes before the two cars meet again? How far have they travelled? I figured out how to do the question but I'm really confused on the units of the distance. I used the d = v/t formula and the vit + 1/2at^2 formula but the units I ended up getting were m^2/s^3 for distance when it should just be m.
ASA launches a rocket at t=0t=0 seconds.

The first astronaut has landed on Mars. Conducting some physics experiments, she drops a hammer from rest from a height of 2.01 m and uses a stopwatch to measure that the hammer takes 1.04 s to hit the ground. A. Determine the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity on Mars. B. She then throws the hammer straight up into the Martian sky. If she comes back to her hand in 4.20 s, with what speed did she throw it?
In units of nanoseconds, how accurate does the measurement of the time delay have to be to determine your position to within an accuracy of 30 m?
Jeff Bezos just landed on the moon and is conducting an experiment, he drops a hammer from rest from a height of 2.01 m and uses a stopwatch to measure that the hammer takes 1.04 s to hit the ground. 1) Determine the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity on the moon. 2) he then throws the hammer straight up into the Martian sky. If it comes back to his hand in 4.20 s, with what speed did he throw it?
A subway train accelerates from rest at one station at a rate of 1.20 m/s2 for 1/3 of the distance to the next station, then maintains a constant speed for 1/3 of the trip, then starts slowing down at this same rate it accelerated initially for the final 1/3 of the trip. If the stations are 3100 m apart, find the time of travel between stations. a) 5 s b) 20.75 s c) 103.75 s

A landscape architect is planning an artificial waterfall in a city park. Water flowing at 1.70 m/s will leave the end of a horizontal channel at the top of a vertical wall h = 2.35 m high, and from there it will fall into a pool (Fig. P3.42). (a) Will the space behind the waterfall be wide enough for a pedestrian walkway? (b) To sell her plan to the city council, the architect wants to build a model to standard scale, which is one-twelfth actual size. How fast should the water flow in the channel in the model?

For two decades, teams sought a connection between the Flint Ridge cave system and Mammoth cave in Kentucky. When the connection was finally discovered, the combined system was declared the world’s largest cave (more than 200 km long). The team that found the connection had to crawl, climb and squirm through countless passages, traveling a net 2.6 km westward, 3.9 km southward, and 25 km upward. What was their displacement from start to finish?
