subway Q3/A subway traveling at 40 km/hr decelerates as it reaches point A and slows down with a constant deceleration. Its reduced velocity is noted to be 30 km/hr as it passes point C. A vehicle which is moving at 25 km/hr passes point B at the same instant that the subway reaches point A. In an unwise effort to beat the subway to the crossing, the driver "steps on the gas." (a) Calculate the constant acceleration a that the car must have in order to beat subway to the crossing by 2 sec and (b) find the velocity v of the car as it reaches the crossing. E ALSHIRQAT Car at subway to the crossin A 0.5 km C 0.5 km B 1.3 km
