two cars approach each other on a straight road. Car A moves at `16 m//s` and car B moves at `8m//s.` When they are `45 m` apart both drivers apply their brakes. Car A slows down at .`2 m//s^(2)` . While car B slows down at `4 m//s^(2)`. Where and when do they collide?

Two cars travelling towards each other on a straight road at velocity 10 m//s and 12 m//s respectively. When they are 150 metre apart, both drivers apply their brakes and each car decelerates at 2 m//s^(2) until it stops. How far apart will they be when they have both come to a stop?

Two cars are travelling towards each other on a straight road at velocities 15 m//s and m//s respectively. When they are 150 m apart both the drivers apply the brakes and the car decelerate at 3 m//s^(2) and 4 m//s^(2) until they stop separation between the cars when they come to rest is

Two cars A and B move on a straight road for the same time. Car A covers 80 m and car B covers 100 m. Which one of the two is faster?

On a foggy day, the two cars are approaching each other on a straight road, with speeds 72 km h^(-10 and 54 km h^(-1) . The drivers of the cars spot other when they were 60 meres apart. Both of them applied brakes, retarding their cars at of 6 ms^(-1) . Predict whether they will avert collision or not.

A speeder moves at a constant 15m//s in a school zone A police car starts from rest just as the speeder passed it.The police car accelerates at. 2 m//s^(2) until it reaches its.maximum velocity of 20 m//s. Where and when does the speeder get caught ?

A car is moving on a straight road. After covering a distance of 420 m in 18s, it turns back and stops after 8s half the way. Calculate the average velocity of the car in first 20s.

Car A and car B are both travelling down a straight highway at 90 km/h. car A is only 6.0 meters behind car B. the driver of car B brakes , slowing down with a constant deceleration of 2.0 m//s^(2) . After 1.2 seconds, the driver of car A begins to brake, also at 2.0 m//s^(2) , but this is insufficient and the cars eventually collide, both still moving forward. what is the relative velocity of the two cars at the moment of the collision ?

Two cars A and B are moving in same direction with velocities 30 m/s and 20 m/s. When car A is at a distance d behind the car B, the driver of the car A applies brakes producing uniform retardation of 2m//s^(2) . There will be no collision when :-

Two cars A and B are moving on parallel roads in the same direction. Car A moves with constant velocity 30m//s and car B moves with constant acceleration 2.5 m//s^(2) .
