Cars A and B are racing each other along the same straight road in the following manner: Car A has a head start and is a distance Dд beyond the starting line at t=0. The starting line is at x = 0. Car A travels at a constant speed vд. Car B starts at the starting line but has a better engine than Car A, and thus Car B travels at a constant speed up, which is greater than VA

Driving along a crowded freeway, you notice that it takes atime t to go from one mile marker to the next. When you increaseyour speed by 7.9 mi>h, the time to go one mile decreases by 13 s.What was your original speed?
car 1 moves in the positive x-direction at 50mph, and car 2 moves in the positive x-direction at 70mph (both measured with respect to the ground). Imagine now that car 2 (originally moving at 70mph) starts to accelerate forward at t=0 at a rate of 1 mph per second (1 mph/s). What is car 2's velocity wrt the ground at t=1s?
At some airports there are speed ramps to help passengers get from one place to another. A speed ramp is moving converyor belt on which you csan iether stand or walk. Suppose a speed ramp has a length of 117 m and is moving at a speed of 2.1 m/s relative to the ground. In addition, suppose you can cover this distance in 73 s when walking on the ground. If you walk at the same rate with respect to the speed ramp that you walk on the ground, how long does it take for you to travel the 117 m using the speed ramp?
A hot-air balloon has just lifted off and is rising at the constantrate of 2.0 m>s. Suddenly one of the passengers realizes she hasleft her camera on the ground.

Cars A and B are racing each other along the same straight road in the following manner: Car A has a head start and is a distance DADAD_A beyond the starting line at t=0t=0. The starting line is at x=0x=0. Car A travels at a constant speed vAvAv_A. Car B starts at the starting line but has a better engine than Car A, and thus Car B travels at a constant speed vBvBv_B, which is greater than vAvAv_A. 2.) How far from Car B's starting line will the cars be when Car B passes Car A? Express your answer in terms of known quantities. (You may use tcatchtcatcht_catch as well.)

You can accelerate and brake on your bicycle with a maximum magnitudeof the acceleration of 3 (m/s)/s. Your top speed is 12 m/s. You want to drop ofyour physics textbook at your friend who normally works with an electronictextbook version, but just called and asked you for your printed copy for theafternoon. She lives 168m up the road from you. You need 11 seconds to runout of your apartment and grab your bike, and you need another 11s to run toyour friend’s apartment door to hand her the book after stopping with your bike.How long to you need in total to bring her the book?
