    The document contains three physics problems involving acceleration and motion: 1) A truck accelerates from a light and a car accelerates later, catching up to the truck after 19.1 seconds. The car will overtake the truck at that point. 2) Two trains initially traveling towards each other at different speeds begin decelerating when 300 meters apart. They will collide 6.8 seconds later at that point. 3) A turtle accelerating along a ditch notes it takes 10 seconds to reach a tree 10 meters past a starting fence post. Working backwards from its speed at the tree, the fence post was 8 meters from the turtle's start.

    ST. MICHAELS COLLEGE SCHOOL ACCELERATION PROBLEMS CHASE: 1.

    At the instant when the traffic light turns green, a truck quickly accelerates at 2.5 m/s2 [forward]. Drinking his coffee, the driver of a car starts accelerating 3.5 s after the truck begins to move. The cars acceleration is 3.5 m/s2 [forward]. a) When will the car overtake or catch up to the truck? (19.1 s from cars start) b) Where will the car overtake the truck? COLLISION: 2. Two trains, one traveling at 27.7 m/s [E] and the other traveling at 33.3 m/s [W] are headed toward each other. When they are 300. m apart both trains begin to decelerate at 2.5 m/s2 to avoid a collision. a) When will they hit each other? (6.8 s) b) Where will they hit each other? c) How would you determine whether they would hit in the first place? CONSECUTIVE INTERVAL: 3. A turtle, starting from rest, moves with a constant acceleration along a straight ditch. He starts his stopwatch as he passes a fence post and notes that it takes him 10.0 s to reach a pine tree 10.0 m farther along the ditch. As he passes the pine tree, his speed is 1.2 m/s. How far is the fence post from his start? (8.0 m)
