Problem Solving
– You normally
drive on the
freeway between
Manila and
Laguna at an
average speed
of 96 km/ h,
and the trip
takes 2 h
and 10 min.
On a rainy
day you
decide to
slow down and
drive the
same distance
at an average
speed of 80
km/h. How
much longer
does the trip
take?
A car 3.5 m in length and traveling at a constant speed of 12 m/s is approaching an intersection. The width of intersection is 20 m. The light turns yellow when the front of the car is 50 m from the beginning of intersection. If the driver steps on the break, the car will slow at -‐4.2 m/s/s. If the driver instead steps on the gas pedal, the car will accelerate at 1.5 m/s/s. The light will be yellow for 3.0 s. Ignore the reaction time of the driver. To avoid being in the intersections while the light is red, should the driver hit the pedal or the gas pedal?
