A train which is traveling at 100 mi/hr applies its brakes as it reaches point A and slows down with a constant deceleration. Its decreeased velocity is boserved to be 60 mi/hr as it passes a point 1/2 mile beyoind A. A car moving at 50 mi/hr passes B at the same instant that the train reaches point A. In an unwise effort to beat the train to the crossing, the driver "steps on the gas" Calculate the constant acceleration a that the car must have in order to beat the train to crossing by 4 sec and find the velocity v of the car as it reaches the crossing. Note: 1 mi = 5280 ft Train 1 mi 100 mi/hr 50 mi/hr B Car 1.3 mi

At some airports there are speed ramps to help passengers get from one place to another. A speed ramp is moving converyor belt on which you csan iether stand or walk. Suppose a speed ramp has a length of 117 m and is moving at a speed of 2.1 m/s relative to the ground. In addition, suppose you can cover this distance in 73 s when walking on the ground. If you walk at the same rate with respect to the speed ramp that you walk on the ground, how long does it take for you to travel the 117 m using the speed ramp?
Ih took Joseph 30 minutes longer to drive 375 km from along the north shore of a river from Apex to Rounder than it took to return along the south shore, a distance of 420 km. On the retum trip the highway was wider and in better condiftion, so he was able to average 10 km/h faster. What was his average speed on cach part of the trip?

In 1967, New Zealander Burt Munro set the world recordfor an Indian motorcycle, on the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah,with a maximum speed of 183.58 mi/h. The one-way coursewas 5.00 mi long. Acceleration rates are often described bythe time it takes to reach 60.0 mi/h from rest. If this time was4.00 s, and Burt accelerated at this rate until he reached hismaximum speed, how long did it take Burt to complete thecourse?
