A car in the left lane of a highway is trying to pass a truck in the right lane. The front of the car is initially 70.0 m behind the front of the truck. The car moves at a constant speed of 65.0 km/h, while the truck moves at a constant speed of 20.0 km/h. How long (in s) does it take the car to overtake the truck (that is, for the front of the car and the front of...
64. A truck is initially traveling on a highway at constant speed. The driver wishes to pass an automobile and so begins a 30-s period of constant acceleration at 0.050 m/s2. During this period, the truck travels 700 m. What was the truck's initial speed? The truck's final speed?
A driver operating a vehicle at a speed of 25.0 m/s intends to pass a second vehicle 2.00 km ahead traveling in the same direction with a speed of 30.0 m/s. The driver of the first vehicle accelerates at a uniform rate to pass the second vehicle, and does so after traveling 4.00 km. Thus, whereas the first (rear) vehicle traverses 4.00 km, the second (front) car only travels 2.00 km, when it is passed. If the driver of the...
anything helps!! Question 1 5 pts Consider two cars traveling on the highway, one behind the other. They are both moving at the same initial velocity, v 29.1 m/s, with the first car a distance d in front of the second car. ("d" is the distance from the front bumper of the second car to the back bumper of the first car.) At some time the driver of the first car hits the brakes and comes to a stop with...
A car sits in an entrance ramp to a freeway, waiting for abreak in the traffic. The driver sees a small gap between a van and an 18-wheel truck and accelerates with constant acceleration along the ramp and onto the freeway. The car starts from rest, moves in a straight line, and has a speed of 21.0 m/s when it reaches the end of the ramp, which has length 124 m . 1- What is the acceleration of the car?...
When the drivers pass each other, the driver of the red car is to toss a package of contraband to the other driver. To catch the toss on video, one of the cameras must be set up near the point where the toss will be made. When “action” is yelled out on the set, the initial separation between the drivers will be 200 m, the red car will accelerate from rest at a constant 6.12 m/s2, starting at xr =...
Car A is parked along the northbound lane of a highway, and car B is traveling in the southbound lane at a constant speed of 60 mi/h. At t = 0, A starts and accelerates at a constant rate aA, while at t = 5 s, B begins to slow down with a constant deceleration of magnitude aA/6. Knowing that when the cars pass each other x = 294 ft and vA = vB, determine (a) the acceleration aA, (b)...
A car is initially stopped, vco = 0, at a traffic light whose position we will use as our origin, x = 0. The light turns green at time t = 0 and the car starts moving with constant acceleration ac = 2 m/s2 . At that same instant, the front of a truck traveling at constant speed vt = 15 m/s passes the front of the car. After a time tD and distance x = D, the accelerating car...
1. To save fuel, some truck drivers try to maintain a constant speed when possible. A truck traveling at 116.0 km/hr approaches a car stopped at the red light. When the truck is 177.4 meters from the car the light turns green and the car immediately begins to accelerate at 3.00 m/s^2 to a final speed of 120.00 km/hr. How close does the truck come to the car assuming the truck does not slow down? 2. How far from the...
A car is initially stopped, Vo = 0, at a traffic light whose position we will use as our origin, x = 0. The light turns green at time 0 and the car starts moving with constant acceleration a.-2 m/s. At that same instant, the front of a truck traveling at constant speed v,-15 m/s passes the front of the car. After a time to and distance x D, the accelerating car catches up to the truck.
