    As a physicist hurries to a bus stop, a bus passes her, stops ahead, and begins loading passengers. She begins running at 6 m/s. to catch the bus; however, when she is 8 meters behind the bus's sisde door, it closes and the bus begins driving away with a constant acceleration of 2 m/s^2. Relunctant to give up, she keeps running at 6 m/s until finally she reaches the bus's side door. How much time does it take for her...

    Ann, running with a speed of 4.00 m/s along a straight track, passes Beth who is stationary. Ann continues to run with the same speed for another 600 m. As soon as Ann passes her, Beth starts running with a constant acceleration of 0.045 m/s2. (a) When Ann is at the 600 m mark, where is Beth? (b) How fast is Beth running at that time? At this time, Ann starts accelerating with a constant acceleration. She continues to accelerate...
