Distance and Speed

The speed, distance and time relation forms the basis of study of motion. You will need these concepts in the study of Mechanics. This concept is applicable for students who are studying the following courses –

Question

part 1 of 2
A cheetah can run at a maximum speed
102 km/h and a gazelle can run at a maximum
speed of 73.4 km/h.
If both animals are running at full speed,
with the gazelle 59.1 m ahead, how long before
the cheetah catches its prey?
Answer in units of s.
part 2 of 2
The cheetah can maintain its maximum
speed for only 7.5 s.
What is the minimum distance the gazelle
must be ahead of the cheetah to have a chance
of escape? (After 7.5 s the speed of cheetah is
less than that of the gazelle.)
Answer in units of m.

A motorcycle is following a car that is traveling at constant speed on a straight highway. Initially, the car and the motorcycle are both traveling at the same speed of 23.0 m/s, and the distance between them is 55.0 m.

A train starts from rest and accelerates uniformly, until it has traveled 5.6 km and acquired a velocity of 42 ms. The train then moves at a constant velocity of 42 m/s for 420 s. The train then slows down uniformly at 0.065 m/s2, until it is brought to a halt. The acceleration during the first 5.6 km of travel is closest to: O 0.20 m/s² O 0.14 m/s² O 0.19 m/s² 0.17 m/s² O 0.16 m/s²
A motorcycle officer hidden at an intersection observes a car driven by an oblivious driver who ignores a stop sign and continues through the intersection at a constant speed. The police officer takes off in pursuit 2.0s after the car has passed the stop sign. She accelerates at 4.2 m/s^2 until her speed is 110 km/h until she catches the car. The car is 1.4 km from the intersection. a) How long did it take for the officer to catch the car? b) How fast was the car traveling?
