Two automobiles A and B are approaching each other in adjacent highway lanes. At t=0, A and B are 1km apart, their speeds are 108km/h and 63km/h and they are at the points P and Q respectively. Knowing that A passes point Q 40s after B was there and B passes P 42s after A was there, determine the uniform acceleration of A and B, when the vehicles pass each other and the speed of B at that time.

Car A is traveling at a constant speed va = 123 km/h at a location where the speed limit is 100 km/h. The police officer in car P observes this speed via radar. At the moment when A passes P, the police car begins to accelerate at the constant rate of 5.6 m/s2 untila speed of 176 km/h is achieved, and that speed is then maintained. Determine the distance s required for the police officer to overtake car A. Neglect any nonrectilinear motion of P. VA Answer: s = i m

Badly need within 1hr pls, thank you! Two Cars A and B are approaching each other in adjacent highway lanes. At t= 0,A and B are 1.25 km apart, their speeds are yA = 120 km/h and ya * 72 km/h, and they are at points P and Q. respectively. Knowing that A passes point 0. 50 s after B was there and that B passes point P. 53 s after A was there, determine the uniform accelerations of A and B,also,when the vehicles pass each other the distance of cars A and B from their origin and the speed of B at that time.

Determine the distance s required for the police officer to overtake car A. Neglect any nonrectilinear motion of P. VA P Answer: s = i m
The gap between two consecutive automobiles (distance between the back of a vehicle and the front of the following vehicle) is 65 ft. At a certain time, the front vehicle is traveling at 45 mi/h, and the following vehicle at 35 mi/h. If both vehicles start accelerating at the same time, determine the gap between the two vehicles after 15 sec if the acceleration of the vehicles can be assumed to take the following forms: du/dt = 3.4 - 0.07u, (leading vehicle) du/dt = 3.3 - 0.065u, (following vehicle) where ut is the vehicle speed in ft /sec.
2. A Hyundai Santa Fe travels a 1.30km levelled road from Bonifacio roundabout to City Lights Hotel in a minimum time of 45.60seconds. Given that the car accelerates and decelerates at 2.53 m/s², which starts from rest at the roundabout and coming to a stop at the Hotel, determine the maximum speed (in kph) and the time (in seconds) it travel at this speed. Assume time for acceleration and deceleration are equal.

Please answer this NEATLY, COMPLETELY, and CORRECTLY for an UPVOTE. A motorist is about to enter the exit ramp of a highway. When it is 50m before reaching A (along the straight path), the motorist travels at 80km/h, decreasing at the rate of 0.5m/s2until it reaches B. After it reaches B, it travels at a constant speed. Determine the magnitude of the acceleration: just after A just before B just after B
