Chapter 2, Problem 9CQ
You’re driving along the highway at a steady speed of 60 mph when another driver decides to pass you. At the moment when the front of his car is exactly even with the front of your car, and you turn your head to smile at him, do the two cars have equal velocities? Explain.

2. You decide to enjoy the lovely Santa Barbara weather by taking a ride in your car
along the coast.
(a) Driving on 101, you pass by an accident. How far does your car travel forward
during the 1 second that you take to look at the accident on the side of the road,
if you're going with 100 km/h?
(b) Then, you drive up a hill at a constant speed of 40 km/h and return down the
hill at a speed of 60 km/h. What is the average speed for the round trip?
1.Two bodies A and B traveling in opposite directions, pass a given point. Body A
traveling eastward passes the point with a velocity of 10.0 miles/hr and thereafter
accelerates uniformly at 10.0 ft/s*. Body B traveling westward passes the point
with a velocity of 20.0 miles/hr and thereafter accelerates uniformly at 6.00 ft/s².
When are A and B one tenth of a mile apart?
