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

Alexis moves with a constant speed of 1.40 m/s and passes an apartment building in a moment. Lourdes finds herself in front of a church and bikes out to meet Alexis just as he passes the apartment building. If the magnitude of Lourdes' acceleration is 0.125 m/s2 and the building is separated from the church by a distance ? = 400 m, calculate: a) How long does Alexis take to meet Lourdes? And How far does each of them travel until they meet?b) What speed is Alexis traveling when he meets Lourdes? And What speed is Lourdes traveling when she meets Alexis?c) Explain with arguments, which of the two will reach the other building first?

Runner A is initially 9.0 mi west of a flagpole and is running with a constant velocity of 2.0 mi/h due east. Runner B is initially 1.0 mi east of the flagpole and is running with a constant velocity of 6.0 mi/h due west. How far are the runners from the flagpole when they meet? ?mi
Car A is moving at 6m/sec. and accelerating 1.5m/sec2 to overtake Car B which is 115.2m ahead. If Car B is moving at 18m/sec2 and decelerating at 0.9m/sec2 , how soon will Car A pass Car B?
1.) Let sA = 15t^2 + 10t + 20 and sB= 5t^2 + 40t, where t ≥ 0, be the position functions of cars A and B, respectively, that are moving along parallel straight lanes of a highway (here, t is in minutes and s in feet). a.) At what instant of time do they have the same velocity? b.) Which car is ahead when the two cars have the same velocity? Please show your complete solution thanks.

Two cars start from the same point in the same direction, but in the opposite direction. One starts to the right with a speed V1 = 7m / s and the other to the left with speed V2 = 9m / s. The latter, after advancing a distance d = 5m, turns sharply 360º and begins to chase the first car. Decide: a) At the end of what time it reaches it. b) How far from the starting point you can reach. c) The graph of the position as a function of time for both cars.
Nardo, a local superhero, wants to get rid of his superhero stone so he can live a normal life. He dropped (initial velocity = 0) it from the roof of a condominium building. On its way down, it passes the 6-ft high window of condo unit XYZ. It was observed to pass from top to bottom of the window in 0.25 seconds. How far below the roof of the building is the top of the window of condo unit XYZ? * Y=? Window of unit XYZ
Complete solution and answer must be simplified. A particle is moving on a straight line has acceleration a=5-3t and it's velocity is 8 at time=2. If s(t) is the distance from the origin, find s(2) -s(1). Note : s (t) = f v dt v (t) = f a dt

In the sport of dock jumping, dogs run at full speed off the end of a dock that sits a few feet above a pool of water. The winning dog is the one that lands farthest from the end of the dock. If a dog runs at 8.5 m/s (a pretty typical speed for this event) straight off the end of a dock that is 0.61 m (2 ft, a standard height) above the water, how far will the dog go before splashing down?
