The car A has a forward speed of 33.0 km/h and is accelerating at 2.3 m/s2 . Determine (a) a speed and (b) that of B, which is taken in a chair on the spinning ferris wheel clockwise at 4 rpm, relative to the car A, which observes it (two decimal places of precision
9) Generic Villain, in an airplane, is chasing Generic Hero who is driving a car. The speed of the airplane is 147 m/s and the speed of the car is 51.0 m/s. If the Villain, at an altitude of 1.00E2 m, wants to drop a bomb on the Hero (and assuming the airplane is in level flight) how far should they be away from the car when they do so? (If you care, the hero gets away with some generic special effects and, you know, turning...) (434 m)

A motorcycle patrolman starts from rest at a gasoline station 2 seconds after a cartravelling at a constant rate of 120 kph passes the gasoline station. If the patrolmanaccelerated at the rate of 6 m/s^2 until he reaches his max permissible speed of 150kph which he maintains. How long did it take the patrolman to overtake the car fromthe time he starts from the gasoline station?
A car moved on a horizontal path from rest, accelerating steadily from point until it reached its maximum speed when passing by. Shot B took a time of 4 seconds, and continued to move past point B, but at a slowdown of 3 m / sec, until it stopped at point C, cutting a distance when it was raining by 13.5 meters. Find each of: 1 the distance the car traveled while accelerating from A to B2 + the rate of the car’s acceleration in acceleration 3 The car’s maximum speed from point B-4 and the time it took for the car to slow down from B to C.
A river has a steady speed of 0.700 m/s. A student swims upstream a distance of 1.00 km and swims back to the starting point.

The A-train (point A) is 1.6 km from a crossing on Cottage Grove Rd. traveling at (VA)0 km/h when it applies its brakes and slows down with a constant deceleration. Its decreased velocity is observed to be 96 km/h when it is 0.8 km from the crossing. A UHart student's car (point B) moving at (VB)0 km/h is 2 km from the crossing at the same instant that the train begins to brake. In an unwise effort to beat the train to the crossing, the driver 'steps on the gas' and accelerates. The angle between the road and train is 0. The car miraculously beats the train to the crossing by 2 s.
