A plane is sitting on a runway, awaiting takeoff. On an adjacent parallel runway, another plane
lands and passes the stationary plane at a speed of 48 m/s. The arriving plane has a length of 32
m. By looking out the window (very narrow), a passenger on the stationary plane can see the
moving plane. For how long a time is the moving plane visible?

You are on a train that is traveling at 3.0 m/s along a level straight track. Very near and parallel
to the track is a wall that slopes upward at a 12° angle with the horizontal. As you face the
window (0.99 m high, 1.9 m wide) in your compartment, the train is moving to the left, as the
drawing indicates. The top edge of the wall first appears at window corner A and eventually
disappears at window corner B. How much time passes between appearance and disappearance
of the upper edge of the wall?

A car is traveling along a straight road at a velocity of +35.0 m/s when its engine cuts out. For
the next ten seconds, the car slows down, and its average acceleration is a1. For the next five
seconds, the car slows down further, and its average acceleration is a2. The velocity of the car at
the end of the fifteen-second period is +22.1 m/s. The ratio of the average acceleration values is
a1/a2 = 1.57. Find the velocity of the car at the end of the initial ten-second interval.

Two motorcycles are traveling due east with different velocities. However, four seconds later,
they have the same velocity. During this four-second interval, motorcycle A has an average
acceleration of 1.5 m/s2 due east, while motorcycle B has an average acceleration of 3.2 m/s2 due
east. By how much did the speeds differ at the beginning of the four-second interval?
