Two cars are heading towards one another. Car A is moving with an acceleration of aA = 12 m/s2. Car B is moving with an acceleration of aB = -13 m/s2. The cars are initially at rest and separated by a distance d = 3800 m on the x-axis.

a)  At what time, in seconds, do the cars meet?

b) What is the displacement, in meters, of Car A?

c) What is the displacement, in meters, of Car B?

d) Now assume that both cars start with an initial velocity. Car A's initial velocity is v0A = 29 m/s and Car B's initial velocity is vB = -32 m/s. At what time, t2 in seconds, do they meet?

Two cars are driving on the freeway. Car A is moving at 33.5 m/s when it realizes it’s closing in on the car in front of it (car B). Car B in front of car A is 61.0 m away and moving at 29.1 m/s when car A hits the brakes, decelerating at 1.22 m/s2. Car B also notices this, and 1 second later accelerates at 0.914m/s2. (a) Is there an accident? (b) If not, what is the distance of...

Two cars start from rest at a red stop light. When the light turns green, both cars accelerate forward. The blue car accelerates uniformly at a rate of 5.7 m/s2 for 3.1 seconds. It then continues at a constant speed for 8.4 seconds, before applying the brakes such that the car’s speed decreases uniformly coming to rest 202 meters from where it started. The yellow car accelerates uniformly for the entire distance, finally catching the blue car just as the...
