Kenematics 1. An impatient motorist considers speeding as he travels between two cities. If the trip normally takes 2.8 h at an average speed of 100.0 km/h, how much time will be saved if he exceeds the speed limit by 10.0 km/h? 2. Two friends plan to meet at a cottage for a weekend retreat. One person must drive a distance of 1.5 ? 102 km at an average speed of 85 km/h. The other person has only 90.0 km to travel and averages a speed of 1.0 ? 102 km/h. If they both depart at the same time, how much earlier does the one friend arrive than the other. (Give your answer in minutes.) 3. A driver is travelling at 25 m/s when she spots a sign that reads BRIDGE OUT AHEAD. It takes her 1.0 s to react and begin braking. The car slows down at a rate of 3.0 m/s2. Luckily, she stops 5.0 m short of the washed-out bridge. (a) How much time was required to stop the car once the brakes were applied? (b) How far was the driver from the bridge when she first noticed the sign? 4. A jogger runs 6.0 km [E], then 4.0 km [N], and finally 2.0 km [W]. The entire trip takes 2.0 h to complete. Calculate the joggers (a) average speed (b) average velocity 5. A car leaves Toronto and drives west at 80.0 km/h for the next 1.5 h. The vehicle then proceeds north at 50.0 km/h for the next 2.0 h. (a) What is the cars average speed for the entire trip? (b) What is the cars average velocity for the entire trip? 6. A group of hikers sets out from point A, proceeds to B, then to C, and finally to D. The entire trip takes 6.0 h. (a) Determine the hikers average speed for the trip. (b) What is the hikers final displacement relative to their initial position? (c) If the hikers release a homing pigeon upon their arrival at point D and the bird returns to point A 30 min later, what is the birds average velocity during the flight? 7. A plane leaves Toronto and flies with an airspeed of 2.20 ? 102 km/h always pointing due east. A wind is blowing from the north at 8.0 ? 101 km/h. (a) What
