Two trains are on the same track a distance d [m] apart heading towards one another.Each train has a constant speed Vo [m/s]. A fly starting out at the front of one train, fliestowards the other at a constant speed u [m/s]. Upon reaching the other train, the flyturns around and goes towards the first train. What is the total distance (in bothdirections) that the fly travels before getting squashed in the collision of the two trains?a.ud2V0b. dc. d/2d.e.f.Vod2uu² dv2(2V+u)d2Vod

Mike and Josh, two bicycles from towns d = 24 kilometers apart, set off in the same direction at the same time. Both Josh and Mike cycled at v, = 25 km/h. Instantly after they begin, a fly flies from Josh at the University of Michigan to Mike, and then immediately returns to Josh. Until the riders meet, the fly continues to fly back and forth between the cyclists. Air speed of fly is UF = 30 km/h, and wind velocity u = 10 km/h constantly blows toward Mike. s is the entire length of time that the fly has been airborne in meters.

Moving sidewalks are installed every other 50 meters along the entire stretch of an airport walkway. These sidewalks move at a constant speed of 1 m/s. A lady passenger takes one of the sidewalks to go from one point to the next. If the passenger simply stands on the sidewalk, how long will it take her to reach the next point? If the passenger walks at 1.25 m/s, how long will it take her to reach the next point?

The drawing shows two cars traveling in different directions with different speeds. Their velocities are: vAG = velocity of car A relative to the Ground = 32.4 m/s, due eastvBG = velocity of car B relative to the Ground = 21.0 m/s, due northThe driver of car B looks out the window and sees car A. What is the velocity (magnitude and direction) of car A as observed by the driver of car B? In other words, what is the velocity vAB of car A relative to car B?
NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part. Three seconds after automobile B passes through the intersection shown, automobile A passes through the same intersection. Given, the speed of automobile A is vA = 55.00 mi/h and automobile Bis vg= 34.00 mi/h, respectively. Also, know that the speeds are constant for the automobiles during the encounter. N. 70 VA vB Determine the change in position of B with respect to A during a 4-s interval. (You must provide an answer before moving on to the next part.)

A Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II jet takes off from an aircraft carrier with a runway length of 107 m and a takeoff speed 77 m/s at the end of the runway. Jets are catapulted into airspace from the deck of an aircraft carrier with two sources of propulsion: the jet propulsion and the catapult. At the point of leaving the deck of the aircraft carrier, the F-35's acceleration decreases to a constant acceleration of 4.8 m/s2 at 23° with respect to the horizontal. (Assume that the F-35's initial direction along the deck of the aircraft carrier is the +x-direction and that the +y-direction is up.) What is its velocity and speed at this time?

Traffic shock wave. An abrupt slowdown in concentrated traffic can travel as a pulse, termed a shock wave, along the line of cars, either downstream (in the traffic direction) or upstream, or it can be stationary. The figure shows a uniformly spaced line of cars moving at speed v = 27.0 m/s toward a uniformly spaced line of slow cars moving at speed vs = 5.30 m/s. Assume that each faster car adds length L = 13.0 m (car length plus buffer zone) to the line of slow cars when it joins the line, and assume it slows abruptly at the last instant. (a) For what separation distance d between the faster cars does the shock wave remain stationary? If the separation is twice that amount, what are the (b) speed and (c) direction (upstream or downstream) of the shock wave?
