To settle an argument Dr Goulding and his Mrs (his wife) decide to have a 40.0 m long snowshoe race, with the prize being a very nice locally made face mask. At the start line they shake hands and when their cat helper Charlie fires the start gun they begin running on thier snowshoes. Dr Goulding reaches his maximum speed of speed of 2.68 m/s in a time of 10.0 s while The Mrs accelerates to her maximum speed of 3.00 m/s at a rate of a,-0.20 m/s2 Both runners are now moving at constant speed? For this question do not use the answer you got from Question 21 (Part F) but let's assume that they are 6 mapart and The Mrs is behind. How long does it take The Mrs to catch up to Dr Goulding?

You and a friend ride your bikes to a restaurant across town. Both of you start at the same instant from your house, you riding 10 m/s and your friend riding 12 m/s. During the trip your friend has a flat tire and that takes him 8 minutes to fix. He then continues the trip at the same speed of 12 m/s. If the distance to the restaurant is 10 km, who gets there first?

You want to visit your friend in Seattle and decide to take the train. Unfortunately, you are late getting to the train station. You are running as fast as you can, but 30 meters ahead of you the train begins to pull out. You can run at a maximum speed of 8 m/s and the train is accelerating at 1 m/s². In 50 meters you will reach a barrier. Can you catch up to the departing train? Argue why you should or should not jump onto the moving train?

Dr Gaulding reaches his maximum speed of speed of 2.68 m/s in a time of 10.0 s while The Mrs accelerates to her maximum speed of 3.00 m/s at a rate of a,-0.20 m/s2 How far are they apart when the runners have both reached their maximum running speeds? Your Answer: Answer units
On a hot day in the flats, the temperature is 100.9 degrees. A driver finds an empty, flat stretch of desert that is 1575 meters long and decides to push the limits of his car. He finds the car can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (26.8 m/s) in 4.21 s. Now he wants to see how fast the car can go. Assume the car maintains the same average acceleration until it reaches its top speed of 69.1 m/s. (a) How long will it take the car to reach its top speed? (b) How far will the car travel before it reaches its top speed?
