At the instant the traffic light goes green, a car waiting at the intersection starts ahead with an acceleration of 2.5m/s2. At the same instant, a bus coming from behind moving at 12.0 m/s passes the car. When and where will the car catch up with the bus?
Can a car traveling west simultaneously have an acceleration pointing east? If not, explain clearly why not. If yes, give a clear example of a situation in which it could occur.
While driving at 45.0 mi/hr (20.1 m/s) on a straight portion of Route 9 West, Randi notices that the traffic light has turned red
at the intersection directly ahead. Randi applies his brakes, slows his car down at a steady rate, and brings his car to rest,

Your car has good brakes and can accelerate at -2.6 m/s2.
