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 has an acceleration of 3.40 m/s2.
The car overtakes the truck after the truck has moved 60.0 m. What is the speed of each when
they are abreast?
Step by step
Solved in 2 steps
- A car is moving with a speed of 32.0 m/s. The driver sees an accident ahead and slams on the brakes, causing the car to slow down with a uniform acceleration of magnitude 3.50 m/s2. How far does the car travel after the driver put on the brakes until it comes to a stop?A car starts from rest at a stop sign. It accelerates at 4.0 m/s2 for 6.0 s, coasts for 2.0 s, and then slows down at a rate of 3.0 m/s2 for the next stop sign. How far apart are the stop signs?In the Daytona 500 auto race, a Ford Thunderbird and a Mercedes Benz are moving side by side down a straightaway at 66.0 m/s. The driver of the Thunderbird realizes that she must make a pit stop, and she smoothly slows to a stop over a distance of 250 m. She spends 5.00 s in the pit and then accelerates out, reaching her previous speed of 66.0 m/s after a distance of 360 m. At this point how far has the Thunderbird fallen behind the Mercedes Benz, which has continued at a constant speed?
- You are driving your car along a country road at a speed of 23.6 m/s. As you come over the crest of a hill, you notice a farm tractor 25.0 m ahead of you on the road, moving in the same direction as you at a speed of 10.0 m/s. You immediately slam on your brakes and slow down with a constant acceleration of magnitude 7.20 m/s2. How far is the tractor in front of you when you finally stop?A speed skater moving to the left across frictionless ice at 7.8 m/s hits a 4.5-m-wide patch of rough ice. She slows steadily, then continues on at 6.1 m/s What is the magnitude of her acceleration on the rough ice?I know I have to find the difference in their times to solve this practice problem.
- Sarah is standing when she sees a boy running towards her with constant velocity 6.0 m/s. When they are 200 m apart, Sarah starts running to meet him. She runs with a constant acceleration, and by the time they meet, Sarah is running at 7.0 m/s. How long, from the time Sarah begins moving, does it take for them to meet?Light-rail passenger trains that provide transportation within and between cities speed up and slow down with a nearly constant (and quite modest) acceleration. A train travels through a congested part of town at 5.0 m/s. Once free of this area, it speeds up to 12 m/s in 8.0 s. At the edge of town, the driver again accelerates, with the same acceleration, for another 16 s to reach a higher cruising speed. What is the final speed?A car is speeding at 25 m/s (constant) in a school zone. A police car starts from rest just as the speeder passes and accelerates at a constant rate of 5.0 m/s². How fast is the police car traveling when it catches up with the speeder?
- A car, initially at rest, accelerates at a constant rate, 3.36 m/s2 for 32.6 seconds in a straight line. At this time, the car decelerates at a constant rate of -2.00 m/s2, eventually coming to rest. How much distance (in meters) did the car travel during the deceleration portion of the trip?A motorist traveling at a constant speed of 10.0 m/s. A police officer behind him 30.0 m starts in pursuit with a constant acceleration 2.00 m/s2, how much time elapses before the officer passes the motorist?A rocket is fired straight up from rest with a net upward acceleration of 12 m/s2. After 10.0 s, the engine shuts off, but the rocket continues to coast upward with insignificant air resistance. What is the maximum the rocket reach from the ground?
