Question

2. Two cars are drag racing. The red car accelerates at a rate of 4.7 m/s',
and the blue car at a rate of 3.9 m/s’. The blue car starts 1.5 s before
the red. Find the time it takes for the red car to be at the same
position as the blue car, how the cars have traveled, and how fast
each is moving at this time.

A person is driving on Autobahn at a speed of 215 km/h and has to slam on his brakes to avoid collision. The brakes can slow down the car at a rate of 14.4 m/s2 (7marks) a) how long will it take to stop? b) how far will the car travel while slowing down to stop?
A Porsche challenges a Honda to a race. Because the Porsche’s acceleration of 3.5 m/s2 is larger than the Honda’s 3.0 m/s2, the Honda gets a 100-m head start — it begins 300 m from the finish line, while the Porsche begins 400 m from the finish line. Assume both cars maintain these accelerations throughout the entire race. Who wins, and by how much time?
The brakes are applied to a moving car, causing it to uniformly slow down. While slowing, it moves a distance of 40.0 m in 7.40 s to a final velocity of 1.50 m/s, at which point the brakes are released. What was its initial speed (in m/s), just before the brakes were applied? What was its acceleration (in m/s2) while the brakes were applied? (Assume the initial direction of motion is the positive direction. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)
Consider a runner traveling with an initial velocity of 3.1 m/s in the positive direction accelerates at a constant rate of 1.8 m/s2 for a time of 3 seconds. What distance does the runner cover during this process? The distance traveled by the runner is ? m.
Joe decides to race his younger sister, Debbie, and gives her a 25 m head start. At the instant Joe starts running, his sister reaches a velocity of 12 m/s [W] while accelerating at 0.4 m/s2 [W]. If Joe accelerates at a rate of 1.2 m/s2 [W], how long does it take for him to catch up to his sister?
Two cars begin at the same place and time. Car A has an acceleration 0.8g, and Car B has an acceleration of 0.75g. How far ahead of car B will car A be, when car A crosses the finish line, when it is exactly 1km away from the starting point? (NB: 1g = 9.80 m/s2)
