Chapter 2, Problem 18P
(III) An automobile traveling 95 km/h overtakes a 1.10-km-long train traveling in the same direction on a track parallel to the road. If the train’s speed is 75 km/h. how long does it take the car to pass it. and how far will the car have traveled in this time? See Fig. 2–39. What are the results if the car and train are traveling in opposite directions?

- A prisoner, 1.80 meters in height, was discharged in consideration due to his advanced in age. In order to receive full pardon, he must run as fast as he can towards the country border 100 meters from the prisoner's position to be totally free. Unknown to the prisoner, he was not meant to be discharged alive, due to the heinous crimes he has committed. An archer with an exceptional accuracy, hidden from the prisoner, was 15 meters behind him. As soon as the prisoner started running at a rate of a = 0.012t, an arrow was released 30 seconds after the prisoner moved from rest, from a 2-meter high at an angle of 30 degrees above horizontal aiming at the middle of his body for a sure kill (neglect air resistance). a.
