Two people are skating on ice. The first one skates by the second with a constant velocity of 12.0 m/s. The second person, not wanting to be left behind, begins at rest and then accelerates at a = 4.0 m/s2 in the direction of the first skater as soon as the first skater passes by. How far must the second skater skate before she catches up with the first skater?

A Wide Reciever is running along the sideline straight towards the goal at a constant speed. When he is 27 m away from the goal line he cathces the ball, but theire is a cornerback 12 m behind him moving with a connstant speed of vc=9.0 m/s what speed should the wide reveiver have to make sure he reaches the goal line just as the cornerback reaches him.
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.)
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…
The leader of a bicycle race is traveling with a constant velocity of +11.10 m/s and is10.0 m ahead of the second-place cyclist. The second-place cyclist has a velocity of+9.50 m/s and an acceleration of +1.20 m/s^2. How much time elapses before he catchesthe leader?
Two ducks, Donald and Cassiopeia, are gliding gracefully toward eachother along a pond, in a straight line. Donald is initially moving at v =0.500 m/s, and begins accelerating at 0.100 m/s2 at t = 0 s. Cassiopeiamoves at a constant speed of v = 0.700 m/s. If they are initially separatedby 25.0 m, where will they collide? Take Donald’s initial position as theorigin. How long will it take for them to collide?

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?
