Car 1 is at gasoline station for 10 minutes. The driver notices that car 2 passes at a speed of 40 mph. How long will it take for Car 1 to overtake Car 2 if it accelerated at 4 m/s?
A train which is traveling at 80 mi/h applies its brakes as it reaches point A and slows down with a constant deceleration. Its decreased velocity is observed to be 60 mi/h as it passes a point 1/2 mi beyond A. A car moving at 50 mi/h passes point B at the same instant that the train reaches point A. In an unwise effort to beat the train to the crossing, the driver "steps on the gas." Calculate the constant acceleration "a" that the car must have in order to beat the train to the crossing by 4 sec and find the velocity "v" of the car as it reaches the crossing. Train 1 mi 80 mi/hr Car 50 mi/hr 1.3 mi
In traveling a distance of 3 km between points A and D, a car is driven at 100 km/hr from A to B for t seconds. If the brakes are applied for 4 sec between B and C to give a car uniform deceleration from 100 kmph to 60 kmph and it takes ' t ' seconds to move from C to D with a uniform speed of 60 kmph, determine the value of ' t '.
Activity 3. Car A at a gasoline station stays there for 10 min after a car B passes at an average speed of 40 mph. How long will it take car A moving at an average speed of 50 mph to overtake car B?

A truck of mass 16,718 kg drives down the motorway at 100.9 km/hr driving towards a large metal container in the middle of the lane. The truck manages to slow down to 59.4 km/hr before hitting the box, the impact with which brings the truck to a complete stop. If this impact causes the box to move off with a velocity of 43.3 km/hr, what is the mass of the metal container? ( consider the collision to be perfectly elastic and give your answer in Sl units
Two cars A and B are stopped at a traffic light, waiting for the light to change from red to green, see Figure 3. Car B is 6 meters behind car A. When the light turns green, car A starts accelerating at a rate of 0.3 m / sec2, while car B departs 2 seconds later and accelerates at a rate of 0.8 m / sec2. Determine the speed each car was carrying when they are side by side.
4. From a speed of 75 kph, a car decelerates at the rate of 500 m/min? along a straight path. a. How far in meters, will it travel in 45 seconds? b. What is the car's velocity after 45 seconds?

A car weighing 4000 lb is driven down a 5oincline at a speed of 60 mi/h when the brakes are applied, causing a constant total braking force (applied by the road on the tires) of 1500 lb. Determine the distance traveled by the car as it comes to a stop.
A train is traveling at 60 km/hr. If its brakes give the train a constant deceleration of O.5 m/s, find the distance from the station where the brakes should be applied so that the train will come to a stop at the station. How long will it take the train to stop?
3. Tests reveal that a normal driver takes about 0.75 s before he or she can react to a situation to avoid a collision. It takes about 3 s for a driver having 0.1% alcohol in his system to do the same. If such drivers are traveling on a straight road at 30 mph (44 ft/s) and their cars can decelerate at 2 ft/s², determine the shortest stopping distance d for each from the moment they see the pedestrians.
