The blue car has a constant acceleration of magnitude 2.10 m/s2 directed south. The time interval required for the nose of the blue car to move from the near (south) edge of the intersection to the north edge of the intersection is 3.10 s. (a) How far is the nose of the blue car from the south edge of the intersection when it stops? (b) For what time interval is any part of the blue car within the boundaries of the intersection? (c) A red car is at rest on the perpendicular intersecting roadway. As the nose of the blue car enters the intersection, the red car starts from rest and accelerates east at 5.60 m/s2. What is the minimum distance from the near (west) edge of the intersection at which the nose of the red car can begin its motion if it is to enter the intersection alter the blue car has entirely left the intersection?

- A Lockheed Martin F-35 II Lighting jet takes off from an aircraft carrier with a runway length of 90 m and a takeoff speed 70 m/s at the end of the runway. Jets are catapulted into airspace from the deck of an aircraft carrier with two sources of propulsion: the jet propulsion and the catapult. At the point of leaving the deck of the aircraft carrier, the F-35's acceleration decreases to a constant acceleration of 5.0m/s² at 30°with respect to the horizontal. What is the initial acceleration of the F- 35 on the deck of the aircraft carrier to make it airborne? 30.0 m/s^2 35.0 m/s^2 O 20.0 m/s^2 O 27.2 m/s^2arrow_forwardA thief is trying to escape from a parking garage after completing a robbery, and the thief’s car is speeding (v = 12 m/s) toward the door of the parking garage (Fig. P2.60). When the thief is L = 30 m from the door, a police officer flips a switch to close the garage door. The door starts at a height of 2.0 m and moves downward at 0.20 m/s.
