Hugo and Big John are in a paw race. When Hugo is 22 m from the finish line, he has a speed of 4.0 m/s and is 5.0 m behind Big John, who has a speed of 5.0 m/s. Big John thinks he has an easy win and so, during the remaining portion of the race, decelerates at a constant rate of 0.50 m/s² to the finish line. What constant acceleration does Hugo now need during the remaining portion of the race, if he wishes to cross the finish line side-by-side with Big John?

Rosy and Joanna begin side-by-side at one end of the nursery. At the same moment, they begin to walk to the other end of the nursery, Rosy at 1.0 m/s, and Joanna at twice that constant speed. Sometime during her walk, Joanna stops to rest for 8.0 s, but then starts walking again at her original constant speed. When Rosy reaches the end of the nursery, Joanna is 3.0 m behind her. (a) How much time did it take Rosy to walk across the nursery? (b) How far did Rosy walk?
A runner and a cyclist compete in a race over a straight course 20 km long. The runner runs at a steady speed of 10 m/s toward the finish line. The cyclist zips at a speed of 23 m/s toward the finish line for 12 km but upon seeing that he is already far ahead of the runner, he decides to stop and wait for the runner to catch up to him. The runner eventually reaches the cyclist and continues moving toward the finish line. The cyclist waits for a while after the runner passes and then cycles toward the finish line again at 23m/s. Both the cyclist and the runner cross the finish line in the exact same instant. Assume both of them, when moving, move steadily at their respective speeds. (a) How far is the runner from the finish line when the cyclist resumes the race? (b) For how long in time was the cyclist stationery?
My mutt dog who seems to be a mix of pug, schnauzer, and dachshund, Boomer, likes to eat worms. He spots a juicy one in the grass and takes off from our porch at 5.22 m/s. When he reaches the worm, 8.16 m from our porch, he determines it's not up to his dog standards and decides to let it live another day. How long did it take Boomer to reach the worm, to two decimal places?
A single-engine air plain starts its engine at one end of the runway. It accelerates at a constant rate and takes off at 38 m/s after 20 seconds on the runway, just as it is running out of runway. How long is the runway? Your Answer:
Two vehicles are initially at rest. Car A starts a distance behind Car B. Both vehicles start accelerating at the same, moving in the same direction. Car B has a constant acceleration of 2.11 m/s? and Car A has a constant acceleration of 3.38 m/s?. Car A overtakes Car B after Car A has traveled a distance xf = 87m. What is the initial distance between Car A and Car B?
A car is traveling north on a city street. It starts from rest at a stoplight and accelerates uniformly at a rate of 1.0 m/s until it reaches the speed limit of 17 m/s. The car will travel at this velocity for 5 minutes and will then decelerate at a uniform rate of 1.4 m/s until it comes to a complete stop at the next stop light. How far apart are the two lights?
One simple model for a person running the 100 mm dash is to assume the sprinter runs with constant acceleration until reaching top speed, then maintains that speed through the finish line. If a sprinter reaches his top speed of 11.1 m/sm/s in 2.44 ss , what will be his total time?
Bob is cruising leisurely on his bike at 2.4 m/s when Jim passes him, traveling at a constant 10.2 m/s. Bob immediately begins accelerating at 2.2 m/s2 until he reaches his maximum velocity of 13.5 m/s. He continues cruising at that speed until he catches Jim. How long did it take him to catch up to Jim? (Assume the clock started at the instant he began to accelerate.) t = How far did he have to go to catch up to Jim? Ax =
Tired, you walk from your house to a local coffee shop to get an espresso. You average a speed of 2.4 m/s on your way there. After your espresso, you decide to run directly back to your starting point with an average speed of 5.6 m/s. Assume you spend 4 minutes at the coffee shop. If your average speed for this entire trip is 1.9 m/s, what is the distance between your house and the coffee shop?
