300 L
2. (3 points) Car 1 moves with velocity v, in the positive x-direction and Car 2 moves
also along the positive x-direction with velocity vz, a distance D in front of Car 1. Both
velocities are constant (i.e., acceleration is zero and v; > 0, v2 > 0). Write the expression
for the time interval from this initial moment (shown in the picture below) to the moment
when Car 1 reaches Car 2. Your answer should be in terms of the quantities given (vi , v2,
D). What condition should be satisfied Car 1 to reach Car 2?

3. (5 points) A car accelerates from 0 m/s to v;
down in the next t seconds at constant acceleration back to 0 m/s, (This situation is also
represented in the diagram of the car’s velocity as a function of time).
How far did the car travel? Express your answer in terms of vi, ti, and t,
