A science student is riding on a flatcar of a train traveling along a straight horizontal track at a constant speed of 10.2 m/s. The student throws a ball along a path that she judges to make an initial angle of 54.5� with the horizontal and to be in line with the track. The student's professor, who is standing on the ground nearby, observes the ball to rise vertically. How high does the ball rise? (Neglect air resistance.)

A red train traveling at 72 km/h and a green train traveling at 144 km/h are headed toward each other along a straight, level track. When they are 840 m apart, each engineer sees the other's train and applies the brakes. The brakes slow each train at the rate of 1.0 m/s2. Is there a collision? If so, give (a) the speed of the red train, (b) the speed of the green train, and (c) the separation between the trains...

A speeding car is traveling along a straight road with a constant speed of 100 km/hour. It passes a police car. The officer starts 5.00 s after the speeder passes. The police car accelerates uniformly (i.e., at a constant acceleration) for 10.0 s, at the end of which its speed is 120 km/hour. After that, the police car moves with the constant speed of 120 km/hour till it reaches the speeding car. How far ahead of the police car is...

A block of mass m = 1.0 kg sliding along a rough horizontal surface is traveling at a speed v0 = 10.0m/s when it strikes a massless spring head-on (see figure) and compresses the spring a maximum distance X =0.25m. If the spring has stiffness constant k = 100. N/m, determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between block and surface.

. A jeep is traveling on a straight road and it leaves a junction at time t = 0 second. It is then accelerates at 4 m/s 2 for 4 seconds. Suddenly, when the driver shifting the gears, there is no acceleration of the jeep for 1 second. After that, it is continue to accelerates at 5.5 m/s 2 for 5 seconds and maintain the speed it reached. On the other hand, a car leaves at the same junction as...
