Her car is capable of decelerating at a rate of 3.45 m/s^2, If it takes her 0.390 sto get the brakes on and she is 20.0m from the intersection. How far from the beginning of the intersection will she be?arrow_forwardThe driver of a car slams on the brakes when he sees a tree blocking the road. The car slows uniformly with an acceleration of 5.60 m/s2 for 4.20 s, making straight skid marks 62.4 m long, all the way to the tree. With what speed does the car then strike the tree?arrow_forward(II) Roger sees water balloons fall past his window. He notices that each balloon strikes the sidewalk 0.83 s after passing his window. Roger’s room is on the third floor, 15 m above the sidewalk. (a) How fast are the balloons traveling when they pass Roger’s window? (b) Assuming the balloons are being released from rest, from what floor are they being released? Each floor of the dorm is 5.0 m high.arrow_forward
- The driver of a van “times the light” and passes through an intersection at constant speed 15.0 m/s just as the light turns green. At the same time a car in the adjacent lane accelerates from rest at 3.0 m/s2. (a) What distance must the car travel in order to catch up to the van (and then pass)?

- A person driving her car at 35 km/h approaches an inter- section just as the traffic light turns yellow. She knows that the yellow light lasts only 2.0s before turning to red, and she is 28 m away from the near side of the intersection (Fig. 2–49). Should she try to stop, or should she speed up to cross the intersection before the light turns red? The intersection is 15 m wide. Her car's maximum deceleration is -5.8 m/s?, whereas it can accelerate from 45 km/h to 65 km/h in 6.0 s. Ignore the length of her car and her reaction time. – 28 m - -15 m→ FIGURE 2-49 Problem 73.arrow_forward(III) A fugitive tries to hop on a freight train traveling at a constant speed of 5.00 m/s Just as an empty box car passes him, the fugitive starts from rest and accelerates at a= 1.4 m/s2 to his maximum speed of 6.0 m/s which he then maintains.
