Question

Transcribed Image Text:Two cars are moving in the same direction (the positive direction) on a
straight road. The acceleration of each car also points in the positive
direction. Car 1 has a greater acceleration than car 2 has. Which one
of the following statements is true?
The velocity of car 1 is always greater than the velocity of car 2. o
In the same time interval,the velocity of car 1 changes by a greater amount
than the velocity of car 2 does.
The velocity of car 2 is always greater than the velocity of car 1. o
In the same time interval,the velocity of car 2 changes by a greater
amount than the velocity of car 1 does.

- As relay runner A enters the 73-ft-long exchange zone with a speed of 30 ft/s, he begins to slow down. He hands the baton to runner B 2.5 s later as they leave the exchange zone with the same velocity. Determine the uniform acceleration of each of the runners. (You must provide an answer before moving on to the next part.) The uniform acceleration of runner A is – _____ft/s2. The uniform acceleration of runner B is _____ft/s2.arrow_forwardProblem 4: A police car traveling at 95 km/h is traveling west, chasing a motorist traveling at 80 km/h (both velocities are with respect to the ground and are constant). Find: 1. The velocity of the motorist with respect to the police car. 2. If they are originally 250 m apart, in what time interval (in seconds) will the police car overtake the motorist.arrow_forwardAutomobile A starts from O and accelerates at the constant rate of 0.9 m/s2. A short time later it is passed by bus B which is traveling in the opposite direction at a constant speed of 6 m/s. Knowing that bus B passes point O 20 s after automobile A started from there, determine when and where the vehicles passed each other. Barrow_forward
- A car and a train move together along straight, parallel paths with the same constant cruising speed vo. At t = 0 the car driver notices a red light ahead and slows down with constant acceleration -a0. Just as the car comes to a full stop, the light immediately turns green, and the car then accelerates back to its original speed v0 with constant acceleration a0. During the same time interval, the train continues to travel at the constant speed v0. How much time does it take for the car to come to a full stop? How much time does it take for the car to accelerate from the full stop to its original cruising speed?arrow_forwardINTERACTIVE LECTURE DEMONSTRATION PREDICTION SHEET-PROJECTILE MOTION Directions: This sheet will be collected.
