A car and a truck start from rest at the same instant, with the car initially at some distance behind the truck. The truck has a constant acceleration of 2.10 m/s² and the car an acceleration of 3.40 m/s². The automobile overtakes the truck after the truck has moved 60.0 m.

Initially at rest, John catches a football at the 20 yard line, and immediately begins running forward with an acceleration of 2.3 m/s/s. At the instant John caught the ball, Bill (a player on the other team) happens to be 18.9 m away and he is running directly toward John at a constant 5.7 m/s. If the players run directly toward each other, then how far from the 20 yard line will Bill tackle John?
Runner A is initially 9.0 mi west of a flagpole and is running with a constant velocity of 2.0 mi/h due east. Runner B is initially 1.0 mi east of the flagpole and is running with a constant velocity of 6.0 mi/h due west. How far are the runners from the flagpole when they meet? ?mi
An object is moving in such a way that the velocity is changing (only direction is changing, but magnitude is same) all the time. Is it possible to get acceleration from that motion? If yes, give an example. .

Alexis moves with a constant speed of 1.40 m/s and passes an apartment building in a moment. Lourdes finds herself in front of a church and bikes out to meet Alexis just as he passes the apartment building. If the magnitude of Lourdes' acceleration is 0.125 m/s2 and the building is separated from the church by a distance ? = 400 m, calculate: a) How long does Alexis take to meet Lourdes? And How far does each of them travel until they meet?b) What speed is Alexis traveling when he meets Lourdes? And What speed is Lourdes traveling when she meets Alexis?c) Explain with arguments, which of the two will reach the other building first?
