Anna is running to the right, as shown. Balls 1 and 2 are thrown toward her by friends standing on the ground. According to Anna, both balls are approaching her at the same speed. Which ball was thrown with the faster speed? Or were they thrown with the same speed? Explain.
Carla holds a ball 1.5 m above the ground. Daniel, leaning out of a car window, also holds a ball 1.5 m above the ground. Daniel drives past Carla at 40 mph and, just as he passes her, both release their balls at the same instant. Whose ball hits the ground first? Explain.
Mark and Sofia walk together down a long, straight road. They walk without stopping for 4 miles. At this point Sofia says their displacement during the trip must have been 4 miles; Mark says their current position must be 4 miles. Who, if either, is correct? Explain.

- 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 diagram represents a time-lapse video of a person throwing a basketball into the air. A camera was used to record the video at five frames per second. The first frame was taken the moment the basketball left the person's hands.

A speeding car is spotted by the police car traveling at speed s = 32 m/s. At the instant the speeding car passes the police car, the police car accelerates forward from rest at a constant rate of a = 3.94 m/s2 to catch the speeding car. Assume the speeding car maintains its speed. a) Write an expression for the time it takes for the police car to catch the speeding car. Use the variables from the problem statement for your expression. b) How long, in seconds, does it take for the police car to catch the speeding car?arrow_forward
