In 2005, Hurricane Rita hit several states in the southern United States. In the panic to escape her wrath, thousands of people tried to flee Houston, Texas by car. One car full of college students traveling to Tyler, Texas, 199 miles north of Houston, moved at an average speed of \(3.0 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) for one-fourth of the time, then at \(4.5 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) for another one-fourth of the time, and at \(6.0 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) for the remainder of the trip. a) How long did it take the students to reach their destination? b) Sketch a graph of position versus time for the trip.
You ride your bike along a straight line from your house to a store \(1000 .\) m away. On your way back, you stop at a friend's house which is halfway between your house and the store. a) What is your displacement? b) What is the total distance traveled? After talking to your friend, you continue to your house. When you arrive back at your house, c) What is your displacement? d) What is the distance you have traveled?
Two train cars are on a straight, horizontal track. One car starts at rest and is put in motion with a constant acceleration of \(2.00 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\). This car moves toward a second car that is \(30.0 \mathrm{~m}\) away and moving at a constant speed of \(4.00 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\). a) Where will the cars collide? b) How long will it take for the cars to collide?
Starting from rest, a boat increases its speed to \(5.00 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) with constant acceleration. a) What is the boat's average speed? b) If it takes the boat 4.00 s to reach this speed, how far has it traveled?
Two cars are traveling at the same speed, and the drivers hit the brakes at the same time. The deceleration of one car is double that of the other. By what factor does the time required for that car to come to a stop compare with that for the other car?
