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...

It’s been estimated that if a truck collides with a car, the damage to the car one is AC = $4,000. There is no damage to the truck. The probability of a collision is described by p(sT, sC) = (sT2+ sC2)/100,000, where sT is the truck speed and sC is the car speed, in km/h. The maximum speed the vehicles are capable of is 100 km/h. Each driver can take precautions; assume the only feasible precaution is to reduce the...

Two cars drive on a straight highway. At time t=0, car A passes x = 0 traveling due east with a speed of 20m/s. At the same time, car B is at x =1000m east of car A traveling at 30m/s due west. Car A is speeding up with an acceleration of 2.5m/s^2, and car B is slowing down with an acceleration of 3.2m/s. A) Write the equation of motion [xA (t) = ?] for car A. B) Write the...

A car is traveling along a straight road at a velocity of +35.0 m/s when its engine cuts out. For the next ten seconds the car slows down, and its average acceleration is a1. For the next five seconds the car slows down further, and its average acceleration is a2. The velocity of the car at the end of the fifteen-second period is +24.2 m/s. The ratio of the average acceleration values is a1/a2 = 1.78. Find the velocity of...

A taxi driver starts his car from rest and drives at a constant speed of 13.5 m/s along a straight road toward the west. After driving for 10.0 s, the car reaches a sharp turn in the road and now travels in the direction of 53.5° south of west. Immediately after turning, the taxi driver slows down his car at 1.22 m/s2 in order to stop and pick up a passenger. It takes 7.00 s for the car to stop...
