Two cars travel the same distance 132 m. The first car travels this distance with a constant speed of 66 m/s. The second car starts from rest and covers the same distance with a constant acceleration of 16 m/s. In the end one of the cars cover this distance earlier: how many seconds later does the other car finish? Write your answer up to one decimal place.

In 1967, New Zealander Burt Munro set the world record for an Indian motorcycle, on the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, of 295.38 km/h. The one-way course was 8.00 km long. Acceleration rates are often described by the time it takes to reach 96.0 km/h from rest. If this time was 4.00 s and Burt accelerated at this rate until he reached his maximum speed, how long did it take Burt to complete the course?
You drive your car in a straight line at15 m>s for 10 minutes, then at 25 m>s for another 10 minutes.(a) Is your average speed for the entire trip greater than, less than,or equal to 20 m>s? (b) Choose the best explanation from amongthe following:I. More time is required to drive at 15 m>s than at 25 m>s.II. Less distance is covered at 25 m>s than at 15 m>s.III. Equal time is spent at 15 m>s and 25 m>s.
Osama was testing his new car by racing with his fiend Adam, Osama was driving at 54.0 mile/hr, enters a one-way narrow subway. Osama then observed a Truck 100 m ahead traveling at a low constant speed 3.00 m/s. Osama used his brakes but can accelerate only at -2.00 m/s² because the road was wet. Will there be an accident? Explain. If yes,
