In a quarter-mile drag race, two cars start simultaneously from rest, and each accelerates at a constant rate until it either reaches its maximum speed or crosses the finish line. Car A has an acceleration of 10.9 m/s2 and a maximum speed of 109 m/s. Car B has an acceleration of 11.8 m/s2 and a maximum speed of 93.7 m/s. (a) Which car wins the race? (b) By how many seconds does this car win the race?

4) A tortoise and hare start from rest and have a race. As the race begins, both accelerate forward. The hare accelerates uniformly at a rate of 1.1 m/s2 for 4.1 seconds. It then continues at a constant speed for 13.7 seconds, before getting tired and slowing down with constant acceleration coming to rest 81 meters from where it started. The tortoise accelerates uniformly for the entire distance, finally catching the hare just as the hare comes to a stop....

A tortoise and hare start from rest and have a race. As the race begins, both accelerate forward. The hare accelerates uniformly at a rate of 1.2 m/s2 for 4.4 seconds. It then continues at a constant speed for 11.8 seconds, before getting tired and slowing down with constant acceleration coming to rest 81 meters from where it started. The tortoise accelerates uniformly for the entire distance, finally catching the hare just as the hare comes to a stop. 1)...

In a demolition derby, two cars start from rest at opposite ends of a track. At exactly the same instant they begin to accelerate towards each other in a straight line. Car A accelerates at a rate of aA = 3.0 m/s2 , while Car B accelerates at a rate of aB = 4.0 m/s2 in the opposite direction. After 6.5 s the cars collide. Please use a coordinate system where Car A is travelling in the positive direction. a)(8...

During a Tatooine speeder race, Dannik Jerriko starts from rest and accelerates constantly for a time T, reaching a speed of 50 m/s. He then gives his engine to Garindan to use in his speeder, which (including the engine) is twice the mass of Dannik’s speeder. If Garindan also starts from rest and accelerates constantly, how fast will he be going after the same amount of time T?

Two cars start from rest at a red stop light. When the light turns green, both cars accelerate forward. The blue car accelerates uniformly at a rate of 4.7 m/s2 for 3.8 seconds. It then continues at a constant speed for 8.5 seconds, before applying the brakes such that the car’s speed decreases uniformly coming to rest 206.78 meters from where it started. The yellow car accelerates uniformly for the entire distance, finally catching the blue car just as the...
