You are in your car at an intersection waiting for the traffic light to turn green. When it turns green, you drive your car at a uniform acceleration of 3.20 m/s². At the same time, a motorcycle traveling at a constant speed of 20.0 m/s overtakes and passes you. How far from the intersection point will you overtake the motorcycle? b. How fast are you traveling when you overtake the motorcycle? а.

A swan on a lake gets airborne by flapping its wings and running on top of the water. (a) If the swan must reach a velocity of 6.00 m/s to take off and it accelerates from rest at an average rate of 0.35m/s2 , how far will it travel before becoming airborne? (b) How long does this take?
While strolling downtown on a Saturday Afternoon, you stumble across an old car show. As you are walking along an alley toward a main street, you glimpse a particularly stylish Alpha Romeo pass by. Tall buildings on either side of the alley obscure your view, so you see the car only as it passes between the buildings. Thinking back to your physics class, you realize that you can calculate the cars acceleration. You estimate the width of the alleyway between the two buildings to be 4 m. The car was in view for 0.5 s. You also heard the engine rev when the car started from a red light, so you know the Alpha Romeo started from rest 2 s before you first saw it. Find the magnitude of its acceleration.
A car is driving on I-80 traveling at 75 mph. It passes a police officer on the side of the road who is stationary. The moment that the car passes the police officer, the officer accelerates at a constant rate of 20 ft/s2 until she reaches a speed of 80 mph. At that point, her speed is maintained. a. How far does the police car travel before reaching its full speed (in ft)? b. How far does the car travel while the police car is speeding up (in ft)? c. How far does the police car travel before catching up with the car (in ft)?

What is the maximum speed you could have and still not hit the deer?
A car is traveling at a steady 80 km/h in a 50 km/h zone. A police motorcycle takes off at the instant the car passes it, accelerating at a steady 8.0 m/s2.a. How much time elapses before the motorcycle is moving as fast as the car?b. How far is the motorcycle from the car when it reaches this speed?
A Honda Civic Automobile is moving at 6 m/sec and accelerating at 1.50 m/sec2 to overtake a passenger bus which is 115.2 meters ahead.

Jack and Jill saw a man snatch a woman’s phone 6.00 m in front of them. The snatcher ran away with a constant speed of 3.00 m/s2. Jack ran after the snatcher right away with an acceleration of 1.50 m/s2. A. How many seconds will it take for Jack to catch the snatcher?B. How far will Jack have to run to catch the snatcher? When Jack started running after the snatcher, Jill took off her shoe and threw it towards the snatcher with a speed of v0 = 10.0 m/s, 45.0 degrees from the horizontal. Assuming that Jill threw her shoe at an initial height equal to that of the snatcher (ℎ?),C. How long will it take for Jill’s shoe to reach ℎ? again?D. How far from her will Jill’s shoe be when it reaches the height ℎ? again?E. Will Jill’s shoe hit the snatcher’s head? Show your solution.
