a) Two cars are set to race, one can only accelerate at a rate of 2m/s starting from rest, and the other can only travel at a set speed of 10 m/s. How fast does each car cover 400 m? Which car would cover a distance of 400 m faster?

b) If both cars from the previous question started from the same position, at what time would they have the same displacement? What is the displacement of the vehicles?

c) A truck covers 40 m in 8.5 seconds while smoothly slowing down at a constant rate ( acceleration is constant) to a final speed of 2.8 m/s. Solve for the truck's original speed and it's acceleration.

d) You are cruising at a speed of 60 mph (26.8 m/s} when a deer appears 100 m ahead of you. What is the maximum time you have to stop and what acceleration do you need to have to avoid hitting the deer?

Two cars drive on a straight highway. At time t=0, car 1 passes mile marker 0 traveling due east with a speed of 20.0 m/s . At the same time, car 2 is 1.0 km east of mile marker 0 traveling at 26.0 m/s due west. Car 1 is speeding up with an acceleration of magnitude 0.30 m/s2 , and car 2 is slowing down with an acceleration of magnitude 0.50 m/s2 . At what time do the cars pass...

You're watching a car race and observe one of the cars going around a banked circular curve. The bank is tilted at about 20 degrees, meaning that the car is tilted sideways by this much while driving around the bank. The curve seems to be a semicircle in shape, and you see the radius of the curvature is about 18.0 m. a. If the car's tangential speed is constant, then why does the car feel acceleration? b. Draw a force...

One car has one and a half times the mass of a second car, but only half as much kinetic energy. When both cars increase their speed by 6.5 m/s, they then have the same kinetic energy. What were the original speeds of the two cars?

At t = 0, one toy car is set rolling on a straight track with initial position 17.0 cm, initial velocity -2.7 cm/s, and constant acceleration 2.70 cm/s2. At the same moment, another toy car is set rolling on an adjacent track with initial position 9.5 cm, initial velocity 5.30 cm/s, and constant zero acceleration. (a) At what time, if any, do the two cars have equal speeds? (Enter NA if the cars never have equal speeds.) s (b) What...

On two occasions you accelerate uniformly from rest along an on-ramp in order to merge into interstate traffic at 65 mi/h. On-ramp A is 200 m long and on-ramp B is 400 m long. (a) Is your acceleration along on-ramp A greater than, less than, or equal to your acceleration along ramp B? (b) Choose the best explanation from among the following: (i) The shorter acceleration distance on ramp A requires greater acceleration (ii) In each case, you start from...
