You are 50m away from a train and running at a constant velocity of 26m/s. The train has a constant acceleration of 39m/s2. If it takes the train 4.92 seconds to reach a distance of 150m, and it takes you 5.78 seconds to reach a distance of 150m, then at what distance will the two meet? Please show what equations to use, THEN input the values. Thanks!
Please let me know if there are any missing variables you need. I'm trying to do a lab experiment and I don't know what equations to use--also I know that the measurements are unrealistic, I'm just giving you the variables from my experiment.

3. Two charges with fixed positions are listed below: q1 = −4 µC at (−2 mm, 2 mm); q2 = −14 µC at (3 mm, 2 mm).
(a) (5 points) Determine the electric potential at the origin.
(b) (10 points) If an α-particle were placed at the origin, determine the electric force on the α-particle due to the fixed charges. Note: an α-particle is a helium nucleus, which is made of two protons and two neutrons.
(c) (10 points) Where could an α-particle be placed so that it would have no acceleration (ignore any gravitational effects).

Consider a head-on, elastic collision between a massless photon (momentum po and energy Eo ) and a stationary free electron.
a) Assuming that the photon bounces directly back with momentum p (in the direction of po ) and energy E, use conservation of energy and momentum to find p.
b) Verify that your answer agrees with that given by Compton's formula with theta = pi.

Two identical conducting spheres, fixed in place, attract each other with an electrostatic force of -0.6825 N when separated by 50 cm, center-to-center. The spheres are then connected by a thin conducting wire. When the wire is removed, the spheres repel each other with an electrostatic force of 0.1986 N. What were the initial charges on the spheres? Since one is negative and you cannot tell which is positive or negative, there are two solutions. Take the absolute value of the charges and enter the smaller value AND larger value.
