Two soccer players start from rest, 47 m apart. They run directly toward each other, both players accelerating. The first player’s acceleration has a magnitude of 0.52 m/s2. The second player’s acceleration has a magnitude of 0.46 m/s2. (a) How much time passes before the players collide? (b) At the instant they collide, how far has the first player run?

A rail gun shoots a projectile in a straight line with acceleration aa and in time tt as defined by the equation a(t)=3−2t. If the projectile from the launcher reaches a velocity of 10 at t=1 and if s(t) is the distance of the projectile from the rail gun at time t, find s(5)−s(1)
Two trains A and B of length 400 m each are moving on two parallel tracks with a uniform speed of 72 Km/h in the same direction, with A ahead of B. The driver of B decides to overtake A and accelerates by 1 m/s. If after 50 s, the guard of B just brushes past the driver of A, what is the original distance between them? 1250 m 150 m 50 m 125 m
A body moving in the positive x-direction passes the origin at time t = 0. Between t = 0 and t = 1 second, the body has a constant speed of 14 (m/s). At t = 1 second, the body is given a constant acceleration of 5 (m/s2) in the negative x-direction. The position x of the body in meters at t = 9 seconds is
At t = 0, one toy car is set rolling on a straight track with initial position 13.0 cm, initial velocity -2.8 cm/s, and constant acceleration 2.30 cm/s2. At the same moment, another toy car is set rolling on an adjacent track with initial position 9.5 cm, initial velocity 6.00 cm/s, and constant zero acceleration. At t = 0, one toy car is set rolling on a straight track with initial position 13.0 cm, initial velocity -2.8 cm/s, and constant acceleration 2.30 cm/s2. At the same moment, another toy car is set rolling on an adjacent track with initial position 9.5 cm, initial velocity 6.00 cm/s, and constant zero acceleration. (a) At what time, if any, do the two cars have equal speeds? (b) What are their speeds at that time?
A jet plane comes in for a landing with a speed of 100 m/s, and its acceleration can have a maximum magnitude of 5.00 m/s^2 as it comes to rest, from the instant the plane touches the runway, what is the minimum time interval needed before it can come to rest?
A car is 126 m from a stop sign and traveling toward the sign at 29 m/s. At this time, the driver suddenly realizes that she must stop the car. If it takes 0.200 s for the driver to apply the brakes, what must be the magnitude of the constant acceleration of the car after the brakes are applied so that the car will come to rest at the stop sign?
A group of students celebrate their first year of medical school with a hot-air balloon ride, which is rising upward with a constant speed of 3.0 m/s. When the balloon is 3.50 m above the ground, one of the students who is taking a selfie with the other students accidentally drops her smart phone over the side of the balloon (fortunately with a OtterBox case). With what speed would the phone hit the ground in m/s? Note that the displacement of the phone dropping 3.50 m would be - 3.50 m. For the same situation as Question 9, how long in seconds would the smart phone be in the air before it hits the ground?

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.
