A red train traveling at 72 km/h and a green train traveling at 144 km/h are headed toward each other along a straight, level track.When they are 950 m apart, each engineer sees the other’s train and applies the brakes.The brakes slow each train at the rate of 1.0 m/s2. Is there a collision? If so, answer yes and give the speed of the red train and the speed of the green train at impact, respectively. If not, answer no and give the separation between the trains when they stop
A train travels at a constant speed of 60 mi/h and crosses over a road as shown. If the automobile A is travelling at 45 mi/h along the road,determine the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the train relative to the automobile.

At one instant, a bicyclist is 50 m due east of a park's flagpole, going due south with a speed of 18 m/s. Then, 13 s later, the cyclist is 45 m due north of the flagpole, going due east with a speed of 13 m/s. For the cyclist in this 13 s interval, what is the displacement (m) and direction north of west, average velocity (m/s) and direction north of west and the average acceleration and direction north of east?

- Most important in an investigation of an airplane crash by the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board is the data stored on the airplane’s flight-data recorder, commonly called the “black box” in spite of its orange coloring and reflective tape.The recorder is engineered to withstand a crash with an average deceleration of magnitude 3450 g during a time interval of 6.49 ms. In such a crash, if the recorder and airplane have zero speed at the end of that time interval, what is their speed at the beginning of the interval?arrow_forwardTwo cars leave from an intersection at the same time.

- Two trains, one training at 72.0km/h and the other at 144km/h, are headed toward one another along a straight, level track. when they are 1100m apart, each engineer sees the other;s train and applies the brakes. This causes each train to have an acceleration against the train direction of motion with the magnitude of 1.00 m/s^2.

Calculate the time required for each train to come to a stop.arrow_forwardA motorboat is crossing a river that flowseastward at a speed of 5 km/h.

How high will the same golf ball travel on the moon if the magnitude and direction of its velocity are the same as they were on earth immediately after the ball was hit? Assume that the ball is hit and lands at the same elevation in both cases and that the effect of the atmosphere on the earth is neglected, so that the trajectory in both cases is a parabola.
