Chapter 2, Problem 81GP

Consider the street pattern shown in Fig. 2–47. Each intersection has a traffic signal, and the speed limit is 50 km/ h. Suppose you are driving from the west at the speed limit. When you are 10.0m from the first intersection, all the lights turn green. The lights are green for 13.0 s each. (a) Calculate the time needed to reach the third stoplight. Can you make it through all three lights without stopping? (b) Another car was stopped at the first light when all the lights turned green. It can accelerate at the rate of 2.00 m/s² to the speed limit. Can the second car make it through all three lights without stopping? By how many seconds would it make it or not?

A person driving her car at 35 km/h approaches an inter- section just as the traffic light turns yellow. She knows that the yellow light lasts only 2.0s before turning to red, and she is 28 m away from the near side of the intersection (Fig. 2–49). Should she try to stop, or should she speed up to cross the intersection before the light turns red? The intersection is 15 m wide. Her car's maximum deceleration is -5.8 m/s?, whereas it can accelerate from 45 km/h to 65 km/h in 6.0 s. Ignore the length of her car and her reaction time. – 28 m - -15 m→ FIGURE 2-49 Problem 73.

(6) You are driving home from school steadily at 95km/h from 130km. It then begins to rain and you slow to 65km/h. You arrive home after driving 3 hours and 20 minutes. a) How far is your hometown from school? b) What was your average speed?

(III) A stone is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 12.0 m/s from the edge of a cliff 70.0 m high (Fig. 2-34). (a) How much later does it reach the bottom of the cliff? (b) What is its speed just before hitting? (c) What total distance did it travel?
