The car directly ahead of him is also traveling at 70 mi/hr. Vladimir is keeping what he feels is a safe distance from the car directly ahead of him, 35.0 m (roughly 7 car lengths). Suddenly at t = 0, having noticed a posted speed limit of 40.0 mi/hr (due to road construction), the driver of the car ahead slams on his brakes and begins to slow down at a steady rate of 10.0 m/2 Once he has slowed down to 40.0 mi/hr (17.9 m/s), he plans to maintain this constant speed. Suppose that it takes Vladimir 1.00 second to notice that the car ahead has slowed down, and another 2.00 seconds to effectively apply his brakes. Also suppose that, once he has applied his brakes, Vladimir's car slows down at a steady rate of 10.0 m/2 . X=0 X-35.0 m 16. Assume, for the sake of argument, that no collision occurs. What distance will Vladimir's car travel while he is in the process of slowing down to 40.0 mi/hr? A. 35.0 m. B. 93.9 m. C. 165 m. D. 33.0 m. E. 65.9 m.

You're driving down the highway late one night at 20m/s when a deer steps onto the road 35m in front of you. Since it takes your brain and body a bit of time to react, you travel for another 0.5s at this speed before hitting the brakes. Your car's maximum braking acceleration has a magnitude of 10m/s2. How far do you travel between the instant you see the deer and the instant you come to a complete stop?
2. You decide to enjoy the lovely Santa Barbara weather by taking a ride in your car along the coast. (a) Driving on 101, you pass by an accident. How far does your car travel forward during the 1 second that you take to look at the accident on the side of the road, if you're going with 100 km/h? (b) Then, you drive up a hill at a constant speed of 40 km/h and return down the hill at a speed of 60 km/h. What is the average speed for the round trip?
You are standing on a circular track that is 315 m long. You begin jogging at the start line and keep jogging until you complete one full lap and stop at the same point you started at. - What is the total distance you travel? - What is your final displacement?

Nerve impulses in a human body travel at a speed of about 100 m/s. Suppose a person accidentally steps barefoot on a pebble. About how much time does it take the nerve impulse to travel from the foot to the brain (in s)? Assume the person is 1.60 m tall and the nerve impulse travels at uniform speed.
A blue car travels down a straight road at a constant speed of 21.7 m/s. As they pass a red car, initially stopped on the side of the road, the red car speeds up at a rate of 2.12 m/s2. How much distance (in m) does the blue car travel before the red car overtakes the blue car?
A car is moving at a velocity of 20 m/s. The car then accelerates uniformly at 1.8 m/s2. The car continues at the same acceleration until it reaches a velocity of 25 m/s, which is the legal speed limit. What is the distance the car travels in while accelerating?
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. While he is slowing down, the acceleration of Randi's car has a magnitude of A. 6.73 m, В. 16.9 m 2. 169 m/: А. С. 33,8 т D. 9.80 m E. 3.37 m / 22.

You decide to travel by car for your holiday visits this year. You leave early in the morning to avoid congestion on the roads. This enables you to drive at a comfortable speed of v1=67.1 mph for t1=1.70 hours. However, after this time, you unexpectedly come to a stop for tstop=43.8 min. Traffic starts moving again and you finish your travel at v2=55.6 mph for an additional t2=1.40 hours. There are 1609 meters in one mile. What was the total distance d traveled? What was the average speed v?
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. After t₁ = 3.00 s, the motorcycle starts to accelerate at a rate of 7.00 m/s². The motorcycle catches up with the car at some time t2.

Two locomotives 70 kilometers apart are travelling on the same track towards each other, Engine A moves at 22 kilometers per hour east and engine B moves at 13 kilometersper hour west. At the instant both trains begin moving, an annoying mutant fly beginsflying from engine A towards engine B at 33 kilometers per hour . The instant it touchesB, it turns around and flies back. It goes on this way until the two locomotives collideand the mutant fly is finally squashed. So, before its untimely demise, a) what is the total distance the fly flew? b) the time it took till it was eliminated and c) the average velocity of the fly? how can i find this please
Wyle E. Coyote hears a constant “Beep! Beep!” from around the corner of a cliff. Thinking it might be the Road Runner, he scampers up to speed and runs towards the sound to the East. On coming around the corner, he sees that it is not the Road Runner, but a truck coming towards him towards the West. The speed of the truck is 25 m/s. The speed of the Coyote is 100 m/s. The Coyote hears a frequency of 5500 Hz. The temperature of the air is 300 K. The mass of the truck is 1500 kg. The mass of the Coyote is 90 kg. Assume the air is an ideal gas with γ = 1.40 and the air molecules have a mass of 4.8*10-26 kg. The Boltzmann constant is k = 1.38*10-23 J/K. a. What is the speed of sound in this air? b. What is the original frequency of the horn on the truck? c. Assuming a perfectly inelastic collision, what is the final speed and direction of the truck, Coyote conglomerate (ignore any friction with the road)?
