You are talking with a cell phone while trailing a police car by 20m; both ypur car and the police car traveling at 100km/h. Your conversation diverts your attention from the police car for 2,0 s. At the beginning g of that 2,0s the police officer begins braking suddenly at 6m/s2 . A- What is the separation between the two cars when your attention finally returns? Suppose that you take another 0,3 s to realize your danger and begin braking. B- If you too brake at 6m/s2 , what is your speed when you hit the police car.

A mountain climber stands at the top of a 50.0 - m cliff thatoverhangs a calm pool of water. She throws two stones verticallydownward 1.00 s apart and observes that they cause a singlesplash.

(b) What initial velocity must the second stone havehad, given that they hit the water simultaneously? (c) What wasthe velocity of each stone at the instant it hit the water?
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.)
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?

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…
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?
Just as the traffic light changes to green, a Mustang drives through the intersection at a constant velocity of 14.2 m/s [N]. A Camaro, that was stopped at the light, accelerates from rest at 2.9 m/s2 [N]. How much time passes before the two cars meet again? How far have they travelled?
A park ranger driving on a back country road suddenly sees a deer “frozen” in the headlights. The ranger, who is drivingat 11.4 m>s, immediately applies the brakes and slows with an acceleration of 3.80 m>s2. (a) If the deer is 20.0 m fromthe ranger’s vehicle when the brakes are applied, how close does the ranger come to hitting the deer? (b) How muchtime is needed for the ranger’s vehicle to stop?
A jet plane lands with a speed of 100 m/s and can accelerateat a maximum rate of 25.00 m/s2 as it comes to rest.
