You are arguing over a cell phone while trailing an unmarked police car by 25 m; both your car and the police car are traveling at 110 km/h. Your argument diverts your attention from the police car for 2.0 s (long enough for you to look at the phone and yell, “I won’t do that!”). At the beginning of that 2.0 s, the police officer begins braking suddenly at 5.0 m/s2. (a) What is the separation between the two cars when your attention finally returns? Suppose that you take another 0.40 s to realize your danger and begin braking. (b) If you too brake at 5.0 m/s2, what is your speed when you hit the police car?

You are arguing over a cellponone while trailing an unmarked police car by 27 m. Both your car and the police car are traveling at 105 km/h. Your argument diverts your attention from the police car for 1.5 s (long enough for you to look at the phone and yell, "I won't do that!"). At the beginning of that 1.5 s, the police officer begins emergency braking at 5 m/s2 Other known values: The separation between the two cars when your attention finally returns is 21.37 m. Suppose it takes you another 0.4 s to realize your danger and begin braking. If you also brake at 5 m/s2, your speed when you hit the police car is 70.81 km/h. (a) How much time passes between your initial braking and the collision? (b) How much distance do you cover during this time (i.e., while braking)?
You are arguing over a cell phone while trailing an unmarked police car by 27.0 m. Both your car and the police car are traveling at 100 km/h. Your argument diverts your attention from the police car for 2.30 s (long enough for you to look at the phone and yell, "I won't do that!"). At the beginning of that 2.30 s, the police officer begins emergency braking at 5.00 m/s². (a) What is the separation between the two cars when your attention finally returns? m (b) Suppose that you take another 0.400 s to realize your danger and begin braking. If you too brake at 5.00 m/s², what is your speed when you hit the police car? km/h
A pedestrian is running at his maximum speed of 6.0 m/s to catch a bus stopped at a trafficlight. When he is 15 m from the bus, the light changes and the bus accelerates uniformly at 1.00m/s2. Does he make it to the bus? If so, how far does he have to run in order to catch it? If not,how close does he get?
You are driving through town at 10.0 m/sm/s when suddenly a ball rolls out in front of you. You apply the brakes and begin decelerating at 3.2 m/s2m/s2.A) How far do you travel before stopping? (Already Answered it's 16m)B)
Hi, I am doing problem number 2 from the end of the chapter questions in my textbook. The problem reads as such: "An 18-year-old runner can complete a 10.0-km course with an average speed of 4.39 m/s. A 50-year-old runner can cover the same distance with an average speed of 4.27 m/s. How much later (in seconds) should the younger runner start in order to finish the course at the same time as the older runner?" I am looking at the solution for the problem and I did everything right except the last step. The solution says to subtract the time found for the 18 year old to run 10km from the time found for the 50 year old to run 10km. However, I divided the anwers I found. Why are we subtracting the answers from one another and not dividing them? Thank you!
A driver is traveling 17.8 m/s when she sees a red light ahead. Her car is capable of decelerating at a rate of 3.55 m/s2. If it takes her 0.420 s to get the brakes on and she is 20.0 m from the intersection when she sees the light, will she be able to stop in time? (tick the right answer) yes no How far from the beginning of the intersection will she be?
While driving down a straight road at 70.5 km/h, you pass your physics professor who happens to be out for a jog. He's running at a constant 4.00 m/s, and you decide to slow down and talk physics with him. If you apply your brakes exactly when you pass him on the road, and your car accelerates at 3.58 m/s2 during the breaking, how far do you end up going before he catches up to you?
A car running at 12.0 m/s passes through a police mobile. As soon as it reaches the police mobile, it accelerates at a rate of 3.00 m/s2. By that moment, the police mobile also accelerated from rest at 5.00 m/s2. How far will the police mobile have to travel to catch up with the car?
As you drive in your car at 15 m/s (just a bit under 35 mph), you see a child’s ball roll into the street ahead of you. You hit the brakes and stop as quickly as you can. In this case, you come to rest in 1.5 s. How far does your car travel as you brake to a stop?
Speedy Sue, driving at 35.0 m/s, enters a one-lane tunnel. She then observes a slow-moving van 160 m ahead traveling at 5.40 m/s. Sue applies her brakes but can accelerate only at −1.80 m/s2 because the road is wet. how far into the tunnel and at what time will a collision occur?
A state trooper is traveling down the interstate at 30 m/s. He sees a speeder traveling at 50 m/s approaching from behind. At the moment the speeder passes the trooper, the trooper hits the gas and gives chase at a constant acceleration of 2.5 m/s2. How far down the highway will the trooper travel before catching up to the speeder?
A truck traveling at 45 m/s passes a police car hidden behind a billboard. One second after the speeding truck passes the billboard, the police car sets out from the billboard to catch it, accelerating at a constant rate of 3 m/s˄2. How long does it take the police car to overtake the truck?
