Two cars drive on a straight highway. At time t=0�=0, car 1 passes mile marker 0 traveling due east with a speed of 20.0 m/sm/s. At the same time, car 2 is 0.90 kmkm east of mile marker 0 traveling at 30.0 m/sm/s due west. Car 1 is speeding up with an acceleration of magnitude 0.40 m/s2m/s2, and car 2 is slowing down with an acceleration of magnitude 0.50 m/s2m/s2. At what time do the cars pass next to one another? Express your answer in seconds.

On a one lane road, a person driving a car at v1 = 58 mi/h suddenly notices a truck 1.1 mi in front of him. That truck is moving in the same direction at v2 = 35 mi/h. In order to avoid a collision, the person has to reduce the speed of his car to v2 during time interval Δt. The smallest magnitude of acceleration required for the car to avoid a collision is a. During this problem, assume the direction of motion of the car is the positive direction. 1. Use the expressions you entered in parts (c) and (f) and enter an expression for a in terms of d, v1, and v2. a = ( v2 - v1 )/Δt Δt = ( 2 ) ( d )/( v1 - v2 ) 2. Calculate the value of a in meters per second squared.

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?
An airplane has a velocity ofv=(5m/s)i+(4m/s)jatt1=3s. For the time interval from t1=3s to t2=13s the average acceleration is a=(.5m/s2)i+(.2m/s2)j. At 13s find the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the airplane.
As an airplane is taking off at an airport its position is closely monitored by radar.

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?
