A green car is trailing a yellow car in an adjacent lane while moving down a highway at a constant speed of 86.2 mi/hr. The separation distance between the two cars is 42.9 ft. The yellow car slams on the brakes and decelerates at a rate of -9.02 m/s/s. After a reaction of time of 0.345 seconds, the green car begins decelerating at a rate of -8.51 m/s/s. What is the final separation distance (in m) between the cars once stopped? (Given: 1 m/s = 2.24 mi/hr; 3.28 ft = 1 m) Enter the answer as a positive value (no - values).

MY NOTES ASK YOUR TEACHER A cab driver heads south with a steady speed of v, -20.0 m/s for t-3.00 min, then makes a right turn and travels at v₂ - 25.0 m/s for fy 2.20 min, and then drives northwest at v₂ - 30.0 m/s for ty-1.00 min. For this 6.20-min trip, calculate the following. Assume +x is in the eastward direction. (a) total vector displacement (Enter the magnitude in m and the direction in degrees south of west.) Im magnitude direction (b) average speed (in m/s) m/s south of west (c) average velocity (Enter the magnitude in m/s and the direction in degrees south of west.) magnitude: direction m/s south of west

A car is travelling at a constant speed of 100 km.hr at the highway when the driver noticed that the bridge 10 m away is cut off. If the driver immediately applied the brakes upon noticing the cut off bridge, what must be his deceleration so he would not fall to the river?
The driver of a car slams on the brakes when he sees a tree blocking the road. The car slows uniformly with acceleration of -5.40 m/s2 for 4.15 s, making straight skid marks 63.3 m long, all the way to the tree. With what speed (in m/s) does the car then strike the tree? m/s
1) Billy Bob drives 35.6km to work each day (down at the call center where he makes up random answers to people's internet problems), at 25.0m/s (ignore speeding up and slowing down; BillyBob belives in "pedal to the metal" and he doesn't believe in stop signs.) As the crow flies, he lives 17.66km due North from where he works. What is his average velocity on his drive to work?
The person realizes they are holding back traffic at 60.0 mph instead of the posted speed limit of 70.0 mph. To stop holding back traffic, the person accelerates to 70.0 mph throughout a time of 8.00s Determine: (a) The acceleration throughout the 8.00s accelerating time interval in S.I. units (b) The distance traveled, in terms of number of light post, throughout the 8.00s accelerating time interval (c) Use one of the first kinematic equations to state the proportional relationship between distance and time
