5. Two trains, one travelling at 60 mi/hr and the other at 80 mi/hr, are headed toward one another along a straight level track. When they are 2.0 miles apart, both engineers simultaneously see the other's train and apply their brakes. If the brakes decelerate each train at the rate of 3.0 ft/s², determine whether there is a collision. Note: 1 mi = 5280 ft

The clark freeport zone and philippine international hot air balloon foundation incorporation organizers the 18th clark philippines hot air balloons Fiesta last February 21-24, 2013. During the event a bag drop from the hot air balloon reaches the ground in 20 seconds. Determine the height of the hot air balloon (a) if it is at rest in the air and (b) if it is ascending with a speed of 49 m/s when the bag is dropped. ANS. (a) 1.96x10³m (b) -9.8x10²m
1. A car going 50mi/h overtakes and passes another car moving at 45mi/h. What length of the road is required for the operation? Assume that each car is 15ft long and that there is a 60ft space between them before and after passing. Taking into account the approach of a car from the opposite direction at 50mi/h, what clear length of the road is required? 2. Sam heaves a 16-lb shot straight up, giving it a constant upward acceleration from the rest of 41.0 m/s2for 64.0 cm. He releases it at 2.29 m above the ground. Ignore air resistance. (a) What is the speed of the shot when Sam releases it? (b) How high above the ground does it go? (c) How much time does he have to get out of its way before it returns to the height of the top of his head, 1.88 m above the ground?
43. In a women's 100-m race, accelerating uniformly, Laura takes 2.00 s and Healan 3.00 s to attain their maximum speeds, which they each maintain for the rest of the race. They cross the finish line simultaneously, both setting a world record of 10.4 s. (a) What is the acceleration of each sprinter? (b) What are their respective maximum speeds? (c) Which sprinter is ahead at the 6.00-s mark, and by how much? (d) What is the maximum distance by which Healan is behind Laura, and at what time does that occur?
Use the following information to answer the next two questions The year is 1927. You are a crime scene investigator. You are considering pressing reckless driving charges against the driver of Car 2. To do this, you must find the speed of Car 2 before the crash. Allegedly, Car 1 was parked, when Car 2 crashed into it. Using the skid pattern, you determine that the speed of the two joined vehicles was 17 m/s immediately following the impact. Car 1 has mass of 1800 kg and Car 2 has a mass of 1100 kg.
1. Equanne driving at 30 m/s. enters a one-lake tunnel. She then observes a slow moving van 155 m ahead travelling at 5 m/s. Equanne applies her brakes immediately only -2 m/s because the road is wet. Will there be collision? If yes, determine how far into the tunnel and at what time the collision occurs.? If N- determine the distance closest approach between Equanne's car and the van
24. Two trains are accidentally put on the same track so that they are on a head-on collision course. Train-A is moving at 28 m/s and can decelerate at -4 m/s2. Train-B is moving at 30 m/s and can decelerate at -5 m/s2. When the trains are 190 meters apart they spot each other and immediately apply their brakes. Do they collide?
12. In a biathlon race, Murray must cycle 30 km and then run 20 km. Using v as his cycling speed and as his running speed, the correct simplified expression for the total time needed to complete the race will be:
1. Arthur and Betty start walking toward each other when they are 100. m apart. Arthur has a speed of 3.0 m/s and Betty has a speed of 2.0 m/s. Their dog, Spot, starts by Arthur's side at the same time and runs back and forth between them at 5.0 m/s. By the time Arthur and Betty meet, what distance has Spot run?
1. A truck is traveling south at a speed of 70 km/h toward an intersection. A car is traveling east toward the intersection at a speed of 80 km/h. What is the velocity of the car relative to the truck? N w- 70 km/h VTE 80 km/h СЕ
A landscape architect is planning an artificial waterfall in a city park. Water flowing at 1.70 m/s will leave the end of a horizontal channel at the top of a vertical wall h = 2.35 m high, and from there it will fall into a pool (Fig. P3.42). (a) Will the space behind the waterfall be wide enough for a pedestrian walkway? (b) To sell her plan to the city council, the architect wants to build a model to standard scale, which is one-twelfth actual size. How fast should the water flow in the channel in the model?
