A runner traveling with a speed 6.00 ms is trailing the leader running with a speed 9.00 ms in a Marathon race by 3.00×102 m with a flat, straight 1.00×103 m distance between the leader and the finish line. If the leader is able to increase her speed with an acceleration 0.00500 ms2, (a) how much time does it take for the leader to reach the finish line, and (b) what is the minimum acceleration for the trailed runner to catch up with the leader, assuming a constant acceleration? If the trailed runner increases her speed with an acceleration 0.00500 ms2 when she is trailing 3.00×102 m with a flat, straight 1.00×103 m distance between the leader and the finish line, (c) how much time does it take the trailed runner to reach the finish line, and (d) what is the maximum deceleration of the leader in order for her to maintaining the leading position? If the leader is exhausted and decreases her speed with a deceleration 0.00500 ms2 when she is 1.00×103 m from the finish line, (e) what is the distance from the finish line when the trailed runner catch up with the leader if the trailed runner runs with the acceleration determined in (b)?

A train travels due east at 39.0 ms (relative to the ground) in a rain. Considering that the raindrops of speed 25.0 ms relative to the ground are blown toward the west by the wind and the path of each raindrop makes an 30.0° angle with the vertical, as measured by an observer stationary on the ground, (a) what are the magnitude and direction of the raindrops relative to the observer on the train? Sometime later, the train continues to travel due east at 39.0 ms but the rain is blown toward the east by the wind and the path of each raindrop makes an angle of 40.0° with the vertical, as measured by an observer stationary on the ground. (b) If an observer on the train sees the drops fall perfectly vertically, what is the speed of the raindrops relative to the ground? (c) If an observer on the train sees the drop fall making an angle of 15.0° with the vertical due east, what is the speed of the raindrops relative to the ground?

A river has a steady speed of 0.30 ms. A student swims downstream a distance of 1200 m and returns to the starting point. If the students swims with respect to the water at a constant speed and the downstream portion of the swim requires 20. minutes, how much time is required for the entire swim?
