Very interesting ! It makes no difference where either one started from, or even
whether they both started out at the same time. The only thing that matters is
their speeds.

If one travels at 60 mph and the other at 40 mph, then they close the distance
between them at 100 mph.

One hour before they meet, they are 100 miles apart.

I hope they are on different tracks.

You must singal how many feet before the turn if you are traveling less than 35 mph?

You must signal at least six feet from the turn


When do you use the future perfect progressive tense?

This action is used to talk about a long action that will take place before a point in the future. For example: He will have been traveling for ten hours when he arrives in the morning.


When traveling at mph how many feet do you need to stop?

Depends on the type of vehicle you are driving, road conditions, driver reaction time, etc. The average car will take 121 feet to stop after the brakes are applied. Factor in reaction time and the car will travel 265 feet before it stops.


How do you find the frequency of a wave using a stopwatch?

Frequency is the amount of cycles within a given amount of time. It is usually described in units of 1/s, where s is seconds. If the wave is traveling, count the amount of peaks that pass by a certain reference point within a measured amount of time. Take the amount of peaks that have passed, and divide that quantity by the amount of time that has passed. If the wave is not traveling (ie, a spring motion), count the amount of cycles within a measured amount of time. Then, as before, divide this quantity by the amount of time that has passed.

# A car is traveling at a constant velocity with magnitude . At the instant that the car passes a motor cycle officer, the motor cycle accelerates from rest with acceleration . # ## Sketch an graph of the motion of both objects. Show that when the motor cycle overtakes the car, the motorcycle has a speed twice that of the car, no matter what the value of . ## Let be the distance the motorcycle travels before catching up with the car. In terms of , how far has the motorcycle traveled when its velocity equals the velocity of the car?
