Why is the following situation impossible? A freight train is lumbering along at a constant speed of 16.0 m/s. Behind the freight train on the same track is a passenger train traveling in the same direction at 40.0 m/s. When the front of the passenger train is 58.5 m from the back of the freight train, the engineer on the passenger train recognizes the danger and hits the brakes of his train, causing the train to move with acceleration 23.00 m/s2. Because of the engineer’s action, the trains do not collide.
A taxi traveling along a straight section of road starts from rest, accelerating at 2.00 m/s2 until it reaches a speed of 28.0 m/s. Then the vehicle travels for 61.0 s at constant speed until the brakes are applied, stopping the vehicle in a uniform manner in an additional 5.00 s.
(A) How long is the taxi in motion (in s)?
Answer: 80 seconds
(B) What is the average velocity of the taxi for the motion described? (Enter the magnitude in m/s.)
