Two motor vehicles, BMW and Ducati, are driving at SLEX southbound lane. At 9:00:00 am they are 100 meters apart and both having a velocity of 100 km/hr with BMW on the lead. The BMW suddenly decelerates at a constant rate of 5m/s while the Ducati retains its velocity. How much distance has the Ducati travelled from 9:00 am to the moment it starts to overtake the BMW? Express your answer in unit of meter.

2. Wellington Wildcat is rushing to get to a parade in time to be the grand marshal. He’s standing in theback of a flatbed truck while McFogg the Dog races at 25 m/s towards town. Suddenly, McFogg sees atiny maple leaf in the road 55 m ahead, and, being a proud Canadian, slams on the brakes to protect thesacred totem. Since McFogg is known to ride the brakes like a real jerk, let’s assume his reaction time tohit the breaks is essentially zero.A. Can McFogg actually stop before the truck reaches the leaf? The coefficients of friction betweenrubber tires and dry concrete are: μs = 1.00, μk = 0.80. When answering this question, be sure toinclude a free-body diagram representing the truck and its stellar mascots as a single object.B. Now here’s the real serious question: Is it possible for McFogg to stop short of the leaf such thatWellington does not slip and slide into the back of the truck cab? The coefficients of friction forWellington’s shoes on the bed of the truck are: μs = 0.60, μk…

A hockey player is standing on his skates on a frozen pondwhen an opposing player, moving with a uniform speed of 12m/s, skates by with the puck. After 3.0 s, the first player makesup his mind to chase his opponent. If he accelerates uniformlyat 4.0 m/s2, (a) how long does it take him to catch his opponent,and (b) how far has he traveled in that time? (Assumethe player with the puck remains in motion at constant speed.)
My pug/bulldog mix, Georgia, who is blind and deaf, gets a whiff of her dinner. As soon as it registers to her that it's dinnertime, she runs 4.12 meters from the middle of our living room to our kitchen, where she is satiated with her grub. If it takes her 4.45 s to get to the kitchen, what was her speed in m/s to the nearest hundredth?

Two people are skating on ice. The first one skates by the second witha constant velocity of 12.0 m/s. The second person, not wanting to beleft behind, begins at rest and then accelerates at a = 4.0 m/s2in thedirection of the first skater as soon as the first skater passes by. How farmust the second skater skate before she catches up with the first skater?
