1. Two steamrollers begin 100 m apart and head toward each other, each at a constantspeed of 1.00 m/s. At the same instant, a fly that travels at a constant speed of 2.20 m/sstarts from the front roller of the southbound steamroller and flies to the front roller ofthe northbound one, the turns around and flies to the front roller of the southboundonce again, and continues in this way until it is crushed between the steamrollers in acollision. What distance does the fly travel?

Given that v1 = velocity of steamroller going in south direction = - 1.00 m/s v2 = velocity of…

A distance of 60 meters separates two jetskis at Virginia Beach. Starting at rest, the jetskis accelerate at a constant rate of 0.2 m/s2 towards each other.Starting at a midpoint between the two jetskis, a porpoise is seen swimming from one jetski to the other at a constant speed of 16 m/s. The porpoise continues swimming back and forth between the jetskis until they crash together.a) What is the total distance the porpoise travelled? b) what is the speed of the jetskis when they crash together?

Two cars are travelling east along a straight highway at the same speed. At an intersection, the highway branches and splits into two straight roads, one heading approximately north-east and one heading approximately south-east. The angle betwen the two roads is 60 degrees. The two cars leave the intersection at the same time, one travelling north-east at 100 km/h and the other travelling south-east at 80 km/h. How fast is the distance between the two cars changing 30 minutes after they leave the intersection.
