Two cars start from the same point in the same direction, but in the opposite direction. One starts to the right with a speed V1 = 7m / s and the other to the left with speed V2 = 9m / s. The latter, after advancing a distance d = 5m, turns sharply 360º and begins to chase the first car. Decide: a) At the end of what time it reaches it. b) How far from the starting point you can reach. c) The graph of the position as a function of time for both cars.

A daring ranch hand sitting on a tree limb wishes to drop vertically onto a horse galloping under the tree. The constant speed of the horse is 10.0 m/s, and the distance from the limb to the level of the saddle is 3.00 m. (a) What must be the horizontal distance between the saddle and limb when the ranch hand makes his move? (b) For what time interval is he in the air?
A man is lost in a thick forest. Confused and clueless as to what direction to take, he walks a certain distance and then turns and walks a certain distance again, and then turns and walks a certain distance. After his last step, he notices that he has just reached the point where he has started. If his first two displacements are respectively 5.0 m, 25 degrees North of East and 24.0 m, 30 degrees West of North, what is his third displacement?
Two cars, A and B, travel in the same direction on a straight section of highway. A has a speed of 69.0 km/h, and B a speed of 75.0 km/h (both relative to the earth). What is the speed of B relative to A? If A is initially 355 m in front of B, how long will it take for B to reach A?
From the top of a cliff, a person throws a stone straight downward. The initial speed of the stone just after leaving the person's hand is 8.1 m/s After 0.46 s, how far beneath the top of the cliff is the stone? (Give just the distance fallen, that is, a magnitude.) m
An inquisitive physics student and mountain climber climbs a 51.0-m-high cliff that overhangs a calm pool of water. He throws two stones vertically downward, 1.00 s apart, and observes that they cause a single splash. The first stone has an initial speed of 2.06 m/s. (b) What initial velocity must the second stone have if the two stones are to hit the water simultaneously?
Two cars, initially 100 m distant apart, start moving toward each other with a speed of 1 m/s and 2 m/s along a straight road. At what rate is car 1 approaching car 2? a. 3 m/s, b. -3 m/s, c. 1 m/s, d. -1 m/s At what rate is car 2 approaching car 1? a. 3 m/s, b. -3 m/s, c. 1 m/s, d. -1 m/s At what rate are the two cars approaching each other? a. 3 m/s, b. -3 m/s, c. 1 m/s, d. -1 m/s
Jim is driving his car at 32m/s (72mi/h) along a highway where the speed limit is 25m/s (55mi/h). A highway patrol car observes him pass and quickly reaches a speed of 36m/s. At that point, Jim is 300m ahead of the patrol car. How far does the patrol car travel before catching Jim?
In the Cars 2011 auto race, Lightning McQueen and Miguel Camino are moving side by side down a straightaway at 71.5 m/s. Lightning McQueen realizes he must make a pit stop, and he smoothly slows to a stop over a distance of 250 m. He spends 5.00 secs in the pit and then accelerates out, reaching his previous speed of 71.5 m/s after a distance of 350 m. At this point, how far has Lightning McQueen fallen behind Miguel Camino which has continued at a constant speed?
The bacterium Escherichia coli (or E. coli) is a single-celled organism thatlives in the gut of healthy humans and animals. When grown in a uniform medium rich in salts and amino acids, it swims along zig-zag paths at a constant speed changing direction at varying time intervals. As shown the positions of an E. coli as it moves from point A to point J. Each segment of the motion can be identified by two letters, such as segment BC. During which segments, if any, does the bacterium have the samea. Displacement? b. Speed? c. Velocity?
An inquisitive physics student and mountain climber climbs a 51.0-m-high cliff that overhangs a calm pool of water. He throws two stones vertically downward, 1.00 s apart, and observes that they cause a single splash. The first stone has an initial speed of 2.06 m/s. (a) How long after release of the first stone do the two stones hit the water?
A hot air balloon ascends straight up from the ground with a constant speed of 8.0 m/s. Three seconds later, a stone is shot straight up with an initial speed of 25 m/s. Determine, (a) the times when the balloon and the stone are at the same height. (b) the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the stone at both times.
The catapult of the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln accelerates an F/A-18 Hornet jet fighter from rest to takeoff speed of 173 mi/h in a distance of 307 ft. How much time does it take for the fighter to accelerate to takeoff speed?
