You are driving along Lawrence Ave. at 60 km/h. You see the traffic light ahead is still green and decide
to speed up to try to make it through the intersection before it turns red (poor decision!). Your car
accelerates at 1.3 m/s. You reach the light after accelerating for 4.3 seconds. What is your speed at
the light in m/s?

b.) If the pilot did not attempt to decrease the velocity of the plane until it reaches the ground, what
will be the distance covered by the plane?

- A jeepney and a train are moving together along parallel paths at 30.0 m/s, with the jeepney adjacent to the rear of the train. The jeepney driver sees the traffic light turn red, so he accelerates at -2.50 m/s2, and then let his jeepney come to rest. The jeepney is at rest for 50.0 s, and then accelerates at 2.50 m/s2 to go back to a speed of 30.0 m/s. Assuming that the speed of the train remained constant at 30.0 m/s, how far is the jeepney from the rear of the train when the jeepney reaches a speed of 30.0 m/s?arrow_forwardA student begins at rest and then walks north at a speed of v1 = 0.55 m/s.

- Car A was traveling east at high speed when it collided at point O with car B , which was traveling north at 45 mi/h. Car C , which was traveling west at 60 mi/h, was 32 ft east and 10 ft north of point O at the time of the collision. Because the pavement was wet, the driver of car C could not prevent his car from sliding into the other two cars, and the three cars, stuck together, kept sliding until they hit the utility pole p. Knowing that the weights of cars A, B, and C are, respectively, 3000 lb, 2600 lb, and 2400 lb, and neglecting the forces exerted on the cars by the wet pavement, solve the problems indicated.Knowing that the coordinates of the utility pole are xp= 46 ft and yp = 59 ft, determine (a) the time elapsed from the first collision to the stop at P,(b) the speed of car A.arrow_forwardA ball is moving towards you at a velocity of 15 m/s [E].
