trooper is moving due south along the freeway at a speed of 22 m/s. At time t = 0, a red car passes the trooper. The red car moves with constant velocity of 40 m/s southward. At the instant the trooper's car is passed, the trooper begins to speed up at a constant rate of 1.5 m/s2. What is the maximum distance ahead of the trooper that is reached by the red car?

A space shuttle is launched from rest. It takes 8.00 s to reach 158 km/h , and at the end of the first 1.00 min its speed is 1580 km/h . Assuming the acceleration is constant during each time interval (but not necessarily the same in both intervals), what distance does the shuttle travel during the interval from 8.00 s to 1.00 min?
Two cars drive on a straight highway. At time t=0, car 1 passes mile marker 0 traveling due east with a speed of 20.0 m/s . At the same time, car 2 is 1.0 km east of mile marker 0 traveling at 27.0 m/s due west. Car 1 is speeding up with an acceleration of magnitude 0.30 m/s2 , and car 2 is slowing down with an acceleration of magnitude 0.40 m/s2 . At what time do the cars pass next to one another?
A blue car is moving at a constant speed of 70 m/s when it passes signage with a police officer beside it. Due to the car's over speeding, the police officer chases it with a constant acceleration of 4 m/s2, one second after the car passes the signage. How long does it the police officer to overtake the truck?
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?
A Saturn V rocket is launched straight up with a constant acceleration of 18 m/s2. After 150 s, how fast is the rocket moving and how far has it traveled?
In a marathon race Chad is out in front, running due north at a speed of 4.03 m/s. John is 97 m behind him, running due north at a speed of 4.70 m/s. How long does it take for John to pass Chad?
Car A moves to the right with velocity 12 m/s. As soon as it reachesCar B, Car A accelerates at 3.00 m/s^2 . At the same time, starting from rest, Car B also accelerates at 5.00 m/s^2. How far will Car B have to travel to catch up with Car A?
The engine of a model rocket accelerates the rocket vertically upward for 2.0 s as follows: At t = 0, the rocket's speed is zero; at t = 1.0 s, its speed is 5.0 m/s; and at t = 2.0 s, its speed is 22 m/s. Plot a velocity vs. time graph for this motion, and use the graph to determine each of the following. (a) the rocket's average acceleration during the 2.0 s interval m/s2 (b) the instantaneous acceleration of the rocket at t = 1.5 s m/s2
As soon as a traffic light turns green, a car speeds up from rest to 50.00 mi/h with constant acceleration 9.00 mi/h/s. In the adjoining bicycle lane, a cyclist speeds up from rest to 20.0 mi/h with constant acceleration of 13.00 mi/h/s. Each vehicle maintains constant velocity after reaching a cruising speed. For what time interval is the bicycle ahead of the car?
Just as a car starts to accelerate from rest with acceleration 1.4 m/s2, a bus moving with a constant speed of 12 m/s passes it in a parallel lane. How long before the car overtakes the bus? How fast will the car then be going? How far will the car then have gone?
Referring to the figure, a truck drives a distance d=30.1m in the positive x direction in a time t1=17.2s, at which point the truck brakes, coming to rest in t2=8.13s. Part A: What is the truck's average velocity in the horizontal direction, in meters per second, during the t1 time period? Part B: Assuming the truck started from rest and moved with a constant acceleration, what was the acceleration, in meters per suqared second, during the time interval t1? Part C: What was the truck's instananeous velocity in the horizontal direction, in meters per second, when it began braking? And using the result from the previous answer, what was the truck's horizontal component of acceleration, in meters per squared second, during the braking period? Please explain how you got your answer in detail.
As an airplane is taking off at an airport its position is closely monitored by radar. The following three positions are measured with their corresponding times: x1 = 145.50 m at t1 = 3.10 s, x2 = 185.00 m at t2 = 3.60 s, x3 = 229.50 m at t3 = 4.10 s. What is the acceleration of the airplane at t2 = 3.60 s? (Assume that the acceleration of the airplane is constant.) What is the average velocity of the airplane during the first time interval? What is the average velocity of the airplane during the second time interval?
