At t = 0, one toy car is set rolling on a straight track with initial position 14.0 cm, initial velocity -3 cm/s, and constant acceleration 2.30 cm/s². At the same moment, another toy car is set rolling on an adjacent track with initial position 8.5 cm, initial velocity 6.00 cm/s, and constant zero acceleration.

(a) At what time, if any, do the two cars have equal speeds? (Enter NA if the cars never have equal speeds.)

(b) What are their speeds at that time? (Enter NA if the cars never have equal speeds.)
cm/s

(c) At what time(s), if any, do the cars pass each other? (If there is only one time, enter NA in the second blank. If there are two times, enter the smaller time first. If they never pass, enter NA in both blanks.)

(d) What are their locations at that time? (If there is only one position, enter NA in the second blank. If there are two positions, enter the smaller position first. If they never pass, enter NA in both blanks.)

(e) Explain the difference between question (a) and question (c) as clearly as possible.

A toy car of mass 40g rides along a frictionless track of length 5m. One end of the track is held 2m above the floor. The end on the floor meets a tiny wedge inclined upward at 30 degrees, which acts as a ramp. If the car is let go from rest at the top of the incline, how far from [the ramp at the end of] the track does it land?

Gwen runs back and forth along a straight track. During the time interval 0≤t≤45 seconds, Gwen’s velocity, in feet per second, is modeled by the function v given by v(t)=(250sin(t^2/120))/(t+6). (a) What is the first time, t1, that Gwen changes direction? Find Gwen’s average velocity over the time interval 0≤t≤t1. (b) At time t=45 , how far is Gwen from her position at time t=0 ? (c) Find the total distance that Gwen runs during the 45 seconds from time...

A toy car starts from rest and accelerates on a straight road at a rate of 3m/s^2 for 5 seconds. In the next 2 seconds, it continues to move at a constant speed. Finally, it accelerates at a rate of 2m/s^2 until it stops in the rest of the rest of the time. Find its a.) Displacement b.) Speed at t=6 seconds c.) plot the following graphs: I. x vs. t II. v vs. t III. a vs. t

Two bicycle tires are set rolling with the same initial speed of 3.70 m/s along a long, straight road, and the distance each travels before its speed is reduced by half is measured. One tire is inflated to a pressure of 40 psi and goes a distance of 17.8 m ; the other is at 105 psi and goes a distance of 93.3 m . Assume that the net horizontal force is due to rolling friction only and take the...
