The drawing shows two cars traveling in different directions with different speeds. Their velocities are: vAG = velocity of car A relative to the Ground = 32.4 m/s, due eastvBG = velocity of car B relative to the Ground = 21.0 m/s, due northThe driver of car B looks out the window and sees car A. What is the velocity (magnitude and direction) of car A as observed by the driver of car B? In other words, what is the velocity vAB of car A relative to car B?
A particle moves down a horizontal route that begins 5 feet to the right of a specific point P with an initial velocity of 4 feet per second. Another particle is going along the same route, beginning 3 feet to the left of P with an initial velocity of 8 feet per second. Consider that the accelerations of the two particles are a1(t) = 2t 3 and a2(t) = 2t 5, respectively. Will the particles collide? Justify your response
A student is walking with a constant speed of ??1meters per second along High Street and sees a puddle ??1 meters ahead of her. A bus driver is driving parallel to the student along High Street as well. At the moment the bus is ??2meters behind the student, the bus driver decides he wants to splash he student with water by driving over the puddle as the student walks past. Determine the expression for the speed that the bus must have in terms of the given variables such that the bus and the student reach the puddle at the same time to splash the student.
A projectile is launched on the Earth with a certain initial velocity and moves without air resistance. Another projectile is launched with the same initial velocity on the Moon, where the acceleration due to gravity is one-sixth as large. How does the range of the projectile on the Moon compare with that of the projectile on the Earth? (a) It is one-sixth as large. (b) It is the same. (c) It is 6 times larger. (d) It is 6 times larger. (e) It is 36 times larger.

Car A is travelling on a north-bound lane of a two-lane straight highway with an initial velocity of 20 km/hr. Car A is accelerating at a rate of 1 m/s^2. At the same instance car B is travelling the same highway but on the south-bound lane (opposite to the direction of car A). Car B starts from 30 km/hr and is accelerating at a rate of 0.50 m/s^2. Initially the two cars are (800+180) meters apart.How far from the initial position of car A is the point where the two cars pass by each other? Express your answer in unit of meter.
