Two objects fly toward each other. When they are 1,200 m apart, their velocities and accelerations are v1 = 45 m/s, v2 = 15 m/s, a1 = 0.51 m/s2, and a2 = 1.35 m/s2. A third object left the first object and moves with constant velocity of 55.1 m/s towards the second object. Upon reaching the second object, it flies back to the first object and so on until the first and second objects collide. Find the total distance traveled by the third object
A hard rubber ball, not affected by air resistance in its motion, is tossed upward from shoulder height, falls to the sidewalk, rebounds to a smaller maximum height, and is caught on its way down again. This motion is represented in Figure OQ2.13, where the successive positions of the ball through are not equally spaced in time. At point the center of the ball is at its lowest point in the motion. The motion of the ball is along a straight, vertical line, but the diagram shows successive positions offset to the right to avoid overlapping. Choose the positive y direction to be upward. (a) Rank the situations through according to the speed of the ball |vy| at each point, with the largest speed first. (b) Rank the same situations according to the acceleration ay of the ball at each point. (In both rankings, remember that zero is greater than a negative value. If two values are equal, show that they are equal in your ranking.) Figure OQ2.13

A football running back rushes 13 m straight down the playing field in 2.1 s (in the positive direction). He is then hit and pushed 3.5 m straight backwards in 1.95 s.

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.
