Two motorcycles are traveling due east with different velocities. However, 3.17 seconds later, they have the same velocity. During this 3.17-second interval, motorcycle A has an average acceleration of 3.09 m/s² due east, while motorcycle B has an average acceleration of 17.3 m/s² due east. (a) By how much did the speeds differ at the beginning of the 3.17-second interval, and (b) which motorcycle was moving faster?

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

You travel from point A to point B in a car moving at a constant speed of 70 km/h. Then you travel the same distance from point B to another point C, moving at a constant speed of 90 km/h. Is your average speed for the entire trip from A to C 80 km/h? Explain why or why not.
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
A physics student at a track meet has a radar gun which she can use to measure the speeds of the runners. Shortly after the start of one race she measures that the speed of a runner is 1.57 m/s. When the runner is 11.2 meters farther along the track, she measures the runner’s speed to be 7.87 m/s. Determine the runner’s acceleration during this interval (assuming the runner’s acceleration is constant)?
A cannonball is fired at 180 (m/s), straight up in the air, by accident. Quickly realizing the error, the commanding officer orders the gunners to fire another cannonball straight up to hit the one coming down. In order to be safe, the two cannon balls must explode at a given hight of 814 (m). What is the maximum time (in seconds) the second cannonball can be fired after the first, such that the two cannaballs collide, exploding safely above the regiment? (s) How fast (velocity) will the first cannon ball be traveling just before the collision? (m/s) How fast (velocity) will the second cannon ball be traveling just before the collision? (m/s)
