A red car (on left) and a green car (o right) are spaced 1200 m apart (distance a). They start at the same time and head towards each other. The red car averages a speed of 13.7 m/s. The green car averages a speed of 15.6 m/s. How much time will the two cars have traveled when they are at the same position?

How far below the roof of the building is the top of the window of condo unit XYZ? * Y=? Window of unit XYZ Option 5 O 6.2 ft 12 ft 8.4 ft 4.8 ft
Two motor vehicles, BMW and Ducati, are driving at SLEX southbound lane. At 9:00:00 am they are 100 meters apart and both having a velocity of 100 km/hr with BMW on the lead. The BMW suddenly decelerates at a constant rate of 5m/s while the Ducati retains its velocity. a) How many seconds after 9:00 am will the Ducati start to overtake the BMW? Express your answer in unit of second. b)How much distance has the BMW travelled from 9:00 am to the moment the Ducati starts to overtake? Express your answer in unit of meter. c) How much distance has the Ducati travelled from 9:00 am to the moment it starts to overtake the BMW? Express your answer in unit of meter.
8. GO 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 dis- tance 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?

On a straight highway, a car is moving initially at speed of 26.0 m/s. To pass another car, it acceleratesat 3.80 m/s2 for 5.00 s, and then decelerates at -3.80 m/s2 for 5.00 s to get back to the original speed. a) (What was the top speed of the car while passing? b)How far down the highway did the car travel during the entire 10.00 s it took to pass? [Hint: Theaverage velocity could be helpful.
Osama was testing his new car by racing with his fiend Adam, Osama was driving at 54.0 mile/hr, enters a one-way narrow subway. Osama then observed a Truck 100 m ahead traveling at a low constant speed 3.00 m/s. Osama used his brakes but can accelerate only at -2.00 m/s2 because the road was wet. Will there be an accident? Explain. If yes,Page 5 of 85at what time the accident occurs and how far into the subway. If no, determine the distance of closest approach between Osama’s car and the Truck. (1mile=1609m).
Two runners stat running simultaneously at the same initial speed of 8.0 m/s. One of the runners starts behind the other so they accelerate at a rate of 0.50 m/s². (a) If the runners start 50.0 m apart, how how much time (in seconds) from when they started does it take the accelerating runner to catch up? (b) How far from the accelerating runner's starting point (in meters) are the two runners when the accelerating runner catches up? Do round your answer to appropriate significant figures, but do not attempt to include units or use scientific notation.
The superhero Green lantern steps from the top of a tall building. He falls freely from the rest to the ground, falling half the total distance to the ground during the last t2=1.00s of his fall. What is the height of H of the building?. 1,) To check your answer for h, use one of the free fall equation to find how long it takes green lantern to fall from the top of the building to half the height.
For the instant represented, car A has an accelera- tion in the direction of its motion, and car B has a speed of 45 mi/hr which is increasing. If the accel- eration of B as observed from A is zero for this in- stant, determine the acceleration of A and the rate at which the speed of B is changing. 45 I 600
