A red car (on left) and a green car (on right) are spaced 1200 m apart (distance a). They start at the same time and head towards each other. The red car averages a speed of 14.2 m/s. The green car averages a speed of 15.6 m/s. What distance will the red car have traveled (distance b) when it is at the same position as the green car?

Narmin is an inquisitive physics student and a keen mountaineer. She climbs a 50.0 m vertical cliff, which is next to a calm, still pool of water. She throwstwo stones vertically downwards, 1.00 second apart, and hearsa single splash. [The stones hit the water at the same instant.] The first stone has an initial speed of 2.00 ms-!. (a) How long after the release of the first stone do the two stones hit the water? |(b) What was the initial velocity of the second stone? (c) What was the velocity ofeach stone at the instant the pair hit the surface ofthe water?
Problem 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.

In the 1991 World Track and Field Championships in Tokyo, Mike Powell jumped 8.95 m, breaking by a full 5 cm the 23-year long-jump record set by Bob Beamon. Assume that Powell’s speed on takeoff was 9.5 m/s (about equal to that of a sprinter) and that g 9.80 m/s2 in Tokyo. How much less was Powell’s range than the maximum possible range for a particle launched at the same speed?
