A cat is sleeping on the floor in the middle of a 3.0 m wide room when a barking dog enters with a speed of 1.50 m/s. As the dog enters, the cat immediately accelerates at 0.85 m/s2 toward an open window on the opposite side of the room. The dog is a bit startled by the cat and begins to slow down at 0.10 m/s2 as soon as it enters the room. How far is the cat in front of the dog as it leaps through the window?

- A horse and a squirrel participate in a race over a 1.90 km long course. The horse travels at a speed of 19.0 m/s and the squirrel can do 3.30 m/s. The horse runs for 1.520 km and then stops to tease the slow-moving squirrel, which eventually passes by. The horse waits for a while after the squirrel passes and then runs toward the finish line. Both animals cross the finish line at the exact same instant. Assume both animals, when moving, move steadily at their respective speeds. (a) How far (in m) is the squirrel from the finish line when the horse resumes the race? Enter a number. r animal resumes the race, they both travel for the same amount of time to the end of the race. How far does the faster animal travel during this time? If we represent the distance the slower animal has traveled by D, how far does the slower animal travel? m (b) For how long in time (in s) was the horse stationary?

- A bus is travelling with a uniform velocity of 20 m/s. At the instant it passes a car at rest, the car starts to move and accelerate at 4 m/s in the same direction as the velocity of the bus. How far will it take before the car overtakes the bus?arrow_forwardA car is 200 m from a stop sign and traveling toward the sign at 40.0 m/s. At this time, the driver suddenly realizes that she must stop the car. If it takes 0.200 s for the driver to apply the brakes, what must be the magnitude of the constant acceleration of the car after the brakes are applied so that the car will come to rest at the stop sign?arrow_forwardA piano has been pushed to the top of the ramp at the back of a moving van.

- A jeepney and a train are moving together along parallel paths at 30.0 m/s, with the jeepney adjacent to the rear of the train. The jeepney driver sees the traffic light turn red, so he accelerates at -2.50 m/s2, and then let his jeepney come to rest. The jeepney is at rest for 50.0 s, and then accelerates at 2.50 m/s2 to go back to a speed of 30.0 m/s. Assuming that the speed of the train remained constant at 30.0 m/s, how far is the jeepney from the rear of the train when the jeepney reaches a speed of 30.0 m/s?arrow_forwardThe polar bear is an excellent swimmer, and it spends a large part of its time in the water.

- 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?
