Question

REQUIREMENTS: take a picture of your work and use the right formula, must be organized and legiable show proper steps/calculations.

Two cars, traveling the same direction, enter an intersection at the same time.  Car #1, enters the intersection traveling at a speed of 19 m/s while Car #2 starts from rest.  After 5 seconds of travel, Car #1 has a speed of 19 m/s while Car #2 has a speed of 8 m/s after accelerating at a uniform rate.

How far did Car #1 travel?

 

Two cars, traveling the same direction, enter an intersection at the same time.  Car #1, enters the intersection traveling at a speed of 19 m/s while Car #2 starts from rest.  After 5 seconds of travel, Car #1 has a speed of 19 m/s while Car #2 has a speed of 8 m/s after accelerating at a uniform rate.

How far did Car #1 travel?

What acceleration does Car #2 experience?

How far did Car #2 travel?

Answer the following for each car traveling a distance of 480 m (Assume that Car #2 continues to accelerate at the rate found above):

Which car will travel 480 meters first?

How long will it take Car #1 to travel 480 m?

What is the speed of Car #1 at 480 m?

How long will it take Car #2 to travel 480 m?

What is the speed of Car #2 at 480 m?
