Alice and Bob are racing each other in the Tour de France bicycle race. At time t = 0, Alice and Bob are next to each other bicycling in the same direction. Alice moves with an initial velocity of 12 m/s, speeding up at a rate of 0.8 m/s2. Bob has an initial velocity of 17 m/s and is slowing down at a rate of 0.5 m/s². (a) When will Alice and Bob next be tied? (b) How far will they have traveled in that time?

You step onto a hot beach with your bare feet. A nerve impulse, generated in your foot, travels through your nervous system at an average speed of 139m/s. How much time does it take for the impulse, which travels at a distance of 1.81m, to reach your brain?
Daniel takes his two dogs, Pauli the Pointer and Newton the Newfoundland, out to a field and lets them loose to exercise. Both dogs sprint away in different directions while Daniel stands still. From Daniel's point of view, Newton runs due North at 4.65 m/s, but from Pauli's point of view, Newton appears to be moving at 2.10 m/s due East. What must Pauli's velocity relative to Daniel be for this to be true? Express your answer in terms of the x- and y-components if North is the +y-direction and East is the +x-direction. x-component: m/s Y-component: m/s Express your answer as a magnitude and an angle measured counter-clockwise from due East. magnitude & direction: at a angle counter-clockwise from due East
Your friend is standing at the balcony of a building which is H meter high from the ground while you are standing at the parking lot situated at the ground level. Now you realize that you got the wrong keys of your car so you decided to throw the wrong keys to your friend and ask her to drop the original keys. She dropped the keys and at the same instant you threw the keys straight up with a speed of u. Determine the height at which both sets of keys cross each other. Take H=160 m,u=40 m/s and g=10m/s^2

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
