Question
A toy train rolling on a straight stretch of tracks, initially going 0.31 m/s slows uniformly to 0.14 m/s in 17 s. It then speeds up with a constant acceleration of magnitude 0.068 m/s2 over a distance of 4.2 m.
iii) What was the total time for all this (slowing down and then speeding up)

- 2. Two cars are drag racing. The red car accelerates at a rate of 4.7 m/s', and the blue car at a rate of 3.9 m/s’. The blue car starts 1.5 s before the red. Find the time it takes for the red car to be at the same position as the blue car, how the cars have traveled, and how fast each is moving at this time.arrow_forwardYou are driving at night on a straight path at 70MPH. Suddenly, a dog appears in your headlights 35 meters away. You immediatley apply the brakes which causes your car to slow down at a constant rate, coming to rest just before making contact with the dog. 1 mile = 1.61 km 1) How long did it take for your car to make a complete stop? 2) If you were initially driving in the 'positive x' direction, then what was your acceleration during the braking maneuver, in vector form and in m/s2?arrow_forward1.)
