trooper is moving due south along the freeway at a speed of 22 m/s. At time  t = 0,  a red car passes the trooper. The red car moves with constant velocity of 40 m/s southward. At the instant the trooper's car is passed, the trooper begins to speed up at a constant rate of 1.5 m/s2. What is the maximum distance ahead of the trooper that is reached by the red car?

A Ford passes a Toyota on the road (both vehicles are traveling in the same direction). The Ford moves at a constant speed of 35.9 m/s. Just as the Ford passes it, the Toyota is traveling at 16.8 m/s. As soon as the Ford passes the Toyota, the Toyota begins to accelerate forward at a constant rate. Meanwhile the Ford just keeps going at a steady 35.9 m/s to the east. The Toyota catches up to the Ford a distance of 101.4 m ahead of where the Ford first passed it. What was the magnitude of the Toyota s acceleration?     6.8 m/s^2     2.5 m/s^2     13.5 m/s^2     5.0 m/s^2

Tired, you walk from your house to a local coffee shop to get an espresso. You average a speed of 2.4 m/s on your way there. After your espresso, you decide to run directly back to your starting point with an average speed of 5.6 m/s. Assume you spend 4 minutes at the coffee shop. If your average speed for this entire trip is 1.9 m/s, what is the distance between your house and the coffee shop?

Bob is cruising leisurely on his bike at 2 m/s when Jim passes him, traveling at a constant 10 m/s. Bob immediately begins accelerating at 2.2 m/s² until he reaches his maximum velocity of 13.5 m/s. He continues cruising at that speed until he catches Jim. How long did it take him to catch up to Jim? (Assume the clock started at the instant he began to accelerate.) t = How far did he have to go to catch up to Jim? Ax = %3D
