When a high-speed passenger train traveling at vp = 152 km/h rounds a bend, the engineer is shocked to see that a locomotive has improperly entered onto the track
from a siding and is a distance D = 670 m ahead (see the figure). The locomotive is moving at v = 32 km/h. The engineer of the passenger train immediately applies the
brakes. Assume that an x axis extends in the direction of motion. What must be the constant acceleration along that axis if a collision is to be just avoided?

While driving at 45.0 mi/hr (20.1 m/s) on a straight portion of Route 9 West, Randi notices that the traffic light has turned red at the intersection directly ahead. Randi applies his brakes, slows his car down at a steady rate, and brings his car to rest, while traveling the 60.0 m distance to the stop line (at the red light). 21.

Traffic shock wave. An abrupt slowdown in concentrated traffic can travel as a pulse, termed a shock wave, along the line of cars, either downstream (in the traffic direction) or upstream, or it can be stationary. The figure shows a uniformly spaced line of cars moving at speed v = 27.0 m/s toward a uniformly spaced line of slow cars moving at speed vs = 5.30 m/s. Assume that each faster car adds length L = 13.0 m (car length plus buffer zone) to the line of slow cars when it joins the line, and assume it slows abruptly at the last instant. (a) For what separation distance d between the faster cars does the shock wave remain stationary? If the separation is twice that amount, what are the (b) speed and (c) direction (upstream or downstream) of the shock wave?
You are on a train that is traveling at 3.0 m/s along a level straight track. Very near and parallel to the track is a wall that slopes upward at a 12° angle with the horizontal. As you face the window (0.777 m high, 2.26 m wide) in your compartment, the train is moving to the left, as the drawing indicates. The top edge of the wall first appears at window corner A and eventually disappears at window corner B. How much time, in seconds, passes between appearance and disappearance of the upper edge of the wall? A B A 3.0 m/s 12⁰ B
Motion with gravity Neglecting air resistance, the motion of an objectmoving vertically near Earth’s surface is determined by the acceleration due to gravity, which is approximately 9.8 m/s2.

Find the position s(t) of the object, for t ≥ 0.c. Find the maximum height of the object above the river.d. With what speed does the object strike the river?
When a high-speed passenger train traveling at vP = 160 km/h rounds a bend, the engineer is shocked to see that a locomotive has improperly entered onto the track from a siding and is a distance D = 652 m ahead (see the figure). The locomotive is moving at vL = 30 km/h. The engineer of the passenger train immediately applies the brakes. Assume that an x axis extends in the direction of motion. What must be the constant acceleration along that axis if a collision is to be just avoided?
For this problem, you can think of the jet stream as a river of air. Across the United States, the jet stream usually moves from west to east. We will assume that the jet stream is moving in its usual direction at 9.00 x 101 km/hr. On a particular day, you need to pilot a plane from one city to another that is 4.50 x 102 km directly to the south. The top speed of the aircraft in still air is 285 km/hr. (a) Make a sketch to represent what is happening in this problem. Label all quantities that you know. (b) Using cardinal directions (north, east, south, west) to give a heading, which direction should you aim the plane to reach the city directly to the south at top speed? (c) How fast (in km/hr) would you be moving relative to the ground? (c) How much time (in hr) will it take you to reach your destination?
On a two-lane road, car A is traveling with a speed of 36 km/h. Two cars, B and C approach car A in opposite directions with a speed of 54 km/h each. At a certain instant when the distance AB is equal to AC, both being 1 km, B decides to overtake A before C does. What minimum acceleration of car B is required to avoid an accident?
Show the following identity?
As you look out of your dorm window, a flower pot suddenly falls past. The pot is visible for a time t, and the vertical length of your window is Lw. Take down to be the positive direction, so that downward velocities are positive and the acceleration due to gravity is the positive quantity g. Assume that the flower pot was dropped by someone on the floor above you (rather than thrown downward).If the bottom of your window is a height hb above the ground, what is the velocity vground of the pot as it hits the ground? You may introduce the new variable vb, the speed at the bottom of the window, defined by vb=Lw/t + (gt)/2 Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables hb, Lw, t and g.
A pilot flew his single-engine airplane 60 miles with the wind from City A to above City B. He then turned around and flew back to City A against the wind. If the wind was a constant 20 miles per hour, and the total time going and returning was 1.3 hours, find the speed of the plane in still air.
