A Ford Territory and a Montero Sport are traveling in the same direction at 60.0 kph
on a straight highway, parallel to each other, and the Territory is ahead of Montero by 248,90 kph. At
a certain time, Territory decelerates uniformly at 2.50 m/s2, whereas the Montero accelerates
uniformly at 2.0 m/s2. At what distance measured from the initial position of Montero will it overtake
Ford Territory.

When they are 1.100x103 m apart, each engineer sees the other’s train and applies the brakes. This causes each train to have an acceleration against the train’s direction of motion with the magnitude of 1.00 m/s2.. a) Calculate the distance required for each train to come to a complete stop and based on this result conclude whether there will be a collision? b) Calculate the time required for each train to come to a stop.arrow_forward

- A horse and a squirrel participate in a race over a 2.00 km long course. The horse travels at a speed of 15.0 m/s and the squirrel can do 3.70 m/s. The horse runs for 1.600 km and then stops to tease the slow-moving squirrel, which eventually passes by. The horse waits for a while after the squirrel passes and then runs toward the finish line. Both animals cross the finish line at the exact same instant. Assume both animals, when moving, move steadily at their respective speeds.
