The motions of a car and a truck along a straight road are represented by the velocity-time graphs in the figure. The two vehicles are initially alongside each other at time t = 0. At time T, what is true about these two vehicles since time t = 0? Truck Car T O The truck will have traveled further than the car. O The car will have traveled further than the truck. The truck and the car will have traveled the same distance. O The car will be traveling faster than the truck.

At 10:17 a.m., you pass a police car at 55 mph that is stopped on the freeway. You pass a second police car at 55 mph at 10:53 a.m., which is located 39 mi from the first police car. If the speed limit is 60 mph, can the police cite you for speeding? а. a. The total time between your two police car sightings was P hours. b. Your average speed between the two police car sightings was 8, mph. c. Can the police cite you for speeding? No, your average speed was less than the speed limit. CYes, since your average speed was more than the speed limit, there must have been somewhere within the 39 mi where you were driving more than 60 mph.

When Sam drove at 9.5 m/s on university blvd, she passed her friend, Jess who was riding a bike at 5.0m/s. As Sam was passing Jess, she started to slow down while Jess kept her constant speed. So Jess caught up to Sam after 3 seconds. a.) Determine the distance traveled by Jess when she caught up to Sam.

A car traveling at a speed of 25 m/s suddenly sees the red light 40 m ahead of him. The driver takes 0.75 s to react and slows the car down at a constant rate of 10 m/s2. 1. How long does it take the car to come to a complete stop from the moment the break was applied? 2. Find the total time the car takes to come to a complete stop from the moment the driver first saw the red light. 3. Determine whether the car ran the red light.

A car gains speed at a constant rate as it moves to the right. It covers the distance between two points 60.0 meters apart in 6.00 seconds. Its speed as it passes the second point is 15.0 m/s. a)  What was the velocity of the car at the first point? b)  What was the acceleration of the car? c)  Assuming the car began from rest and continued with this same acceleration, at what distance before the first point did the car begin?

A hyena first notices a lion attacking when the lion is 12.5 m away and moving toward the hyena at a speed of 5 m/s. The hyena begins to accelerate away from the lion at 3m/s and the lion simultaneously begins to accelerate at 2m/s . a. How long in seconds it takes the lion to catch up with the hyena? b. How far in meters has the hyena traveled when the lion catches up with it?

The answer for this problem would be "C" but could you explain me why? The reason for this is to understand this kind of problems in the future not only this one.
