(A) Two buses start at the same time towards each other from terminals A and B, 8 km apart. The time needed for the first bus to travel from A to B is 8 minutes and of the second bus B to A is 10 minutes. How much time is needed by each bus to meet each other if they traveled at their respective uniform speeds.

Two locomotives 70 kilometers apart are travelling on the same track towards each other, Engine A moves at 22 kilometers per hour east and engine B moves at 13 kilometersper hour west. At the instant both trains begin moving, an annoying mutant fly beginsflying from engine A towards engine B at 33 kilometers per hour . The instant it touchesB, it turns around and flies back. It goes on this way until the two locomotives collideand the mutant fly is finally squashed. So, before its untimely demise, a) what is the total distance the fly flew? b) the time it took till it was eliminated and c) the average velocity of the fly? how can i find this please
Let's assume that East Lake Road runs due East from the Boston Store in Erie, and there are mile markers along it ("Ten Miles from the Boston Store", etc.) A car starts at the 12 mile marker going East at 2 PM, turns around at the 20 mile marker at 3 PM, and stops at the 8 mile marker at 4 PM. What is the total displacement of the car from 2 PM to 4 PM, in miles? (Use "+" for East, and "-" for West) O +4 O-20 O +20 O -4 O none of the answers is correct

Do you ever wonder about the bullet holes in deer crossing (xing) signs? Perhaps the passenger of a car or truck had a gun on hand and decided to shoot signs while his/her friend drove. Suppose that the gun had been tested the previous week and found to shoot bullets at a speed of 1500 miles/hour. Suppose that the car/truck was going at a speed 65 miles an hour. Suppose that the passenger was shooting in the forward direction, at signs that were ahead of the car/truck. You can ignore air resistance. In the reference frame of the deer crossing sign, how fast was the bullet traveling when it hit the sign? In the reference frame of the shooter, how fast was the bullet traveling when it hit the deer crossing sign?
When the legal speed limit for the New York Thruway was increased from 55 mi/h to 65 mi/h, how much time was saved by a motorist who drove the 459 km between his entrance and the New York City exit at the legal speed limit? & 4
In the preceding problem we saw that a person's reaction time is generally not quick enough to allow the person to catch a $1 bill dropped between the fingers. The 16 cm length of the bill passes through a student's fingers before she can grab it if she has a typical 0.25 s reaction time. How long would a bill need to be for her to have a good chance of catching it?
