To qualify for the finals in a racing event, a race car must achieve an average speed of 250. km/h on a track with a total length of 1.60 × 10°. If a particular car covers the first half of the track at an average speed of 230. km/h, what minimum average speed must it have in the second half of the event to qualify?

Two bikers are cycling from the Greater Toronto Area to Kingston. The first biker, Merckx, started 200 kilometers (KMs) away from Kingston. The second, Froome started 20KM behind Merckx. Both cyclists start out slowly, but Merckx suffers a bike fault delaying them from starting for 11 hours and giving Froome a head start. Assuming the bikers match the below speed representing the maximum speeds of each biker from the time they begin moving, which biker will reach Kingston first and when? Which of the following answer is correct: a) Merckx in 36.2 hours b) Merckx in 31.2 hours c) Froome in 38.7 hours d) Froome in 35.6 hours

The Space Shuttle travels at a speed of about 6.23 x 103 m/s. The blink of an astronaut's eye lasts about 117 ms. How many football fields (length = 91.4 m) does the Space Shuttle cover in the blink of an eye?
Chapter 02, Problem 10 In reaching her destination, a backpacker walks with an average velocity of 1.26 m/s, due west. This average velocity results, because she hikes for 6.62 km with an average velocity of 2.54 m/s due west, turns around, and hikes with an average velocity of 0.381 m/s due east. How far east did she walk (in kilometers)? dw VE West East dɛ Number Units the tolerance is +/-2% Click if you would like to Show Work for this question: Open Show Work
The runway of an airport in Oman has been designed such that the lowest acceleration for a plane to take off is 10.3 m/s ^ 2 . The take -off speed for this plane will be 64.2 m/s . Assuming this minimum acceleration , then the minimum allowed length (m) for the runway is :
A person travels by car from one city to another with different constant speeds between pairs of cities. She drives for 60.0 min at 95.0 km/h, 14.0 min at 100.0 km/h, and 60.0 min at 50.0km/h and spends 25.0 min eating lunch and buying gas. (a) Determine the average speed for the trip.

A vehicle travels at a speed of 4 m/ sec along a horizontal Circular road that has a radius of 50m its speed is then increased by ú= (0.05.s) m/sec² for a short distance from S = 0, where s is in meters. Calculate the magnitude of its acceleration when it has moved s = 10m in ml sec².
The runway of Juancho E Yrausquin Airport has the shortest runway in the world, with a total length of 527m Located on the Dutch Caribbean Islands. A plane 2599m from the beginning of the runway and is about to land with an approach velocity of 251m/sec. Assume that you need a minimum deceleration of 9m/sec? to land the plane. No need to take into account the height of the plane. Considering that the pilot did not attempt to decrease the velocity of the plane until it reaches the ground, what will be the distance covered by the plane?
A mountain lion jumps to a height of 2.65 m when leaving the ground at an angle of 42.9°. What is its initial speed (in m/s) as it leaves the ground?
At 5:11 p.m. in the highway and at the height of a town, a police patrol was traveling at a speed of 18.0 m / s towards the city, when the citizen's car approaches a speed of 94 mi / h towards the city. After a reaction time of 0.800 seconds, the police start chasing the citizen with an acceleration of 5.00 m / s2. Including the reaction time: (a) How long does it take for the police patrol to reach the citizen? (b) Indicate how far it reaches, from the moment the chase begins, and create a Position vs. time graph, showing the two movements (that of the citizen and the police patrol)
A bus initially at a bus stop accelerates continuously for a kilometer, taking a minute and a half. Upon closing in on the next stop, the driver then begins to hit the brakes until it reaches a full stop in 8 seconds. Find the total distance that the bus traveled and the velocity of the bus just before it begins decelerating.
