An automobile traveling 95km/h overtakes a 1.30 km long train traveling in the same direction on a track parallel to the road. If the train’s speed is 75km/h. (a) how long does it take the car to pass it?, and (b) howfar will the car have traveled in this time? See diagram. (c) What are the results if the car and train are traveling in opposite directions? ( Show your work).
Jimmy "Butterfingers" James is a stuntman that jumps off of buildings for a living. He was jumping off a building for an upcoming movie when he dropped the closed umbrella he was holding. If he was travelling at 15.6 m/s when he let go of the umbrella, (1) from what height (distance) did the umbrella fall if it took 1.25 seconds to hit the ground and (2) what was the velocity of the umbrella just before it hit the ground? Note: Show your work and proper units, and write your answers to 3 sig figs. Also, keep all numbers positive
How would you expect a velocity vs. time graph to look for a cart moving with a constant velocity? Make a rough sketch of the graph and explain your reasoning. Write down an equation for the graph. Explain what the symbols in each of the equations mean. What quantities in these equations can you determine from your graph?
Write down the relationship between the position and the velocity of the cart. Use that relationship to construct an position versus time graph just below each of your velocity versus time graphs from question 1, with the same scale for each time axis.
