Alright thanks for the help!

d=Xo+VoT+1/2aT^2 ?

Finally :) so for the other part of the problem I want to get the speed and use the time from the previous answer to figure out the distance traveled? I get speed/velocity by using V=Vo+aT

Oh ok gotcha now. I got 4.90 seconds for the time it takes the motorcycle to catch the car.

You want the overall time subtracted from the first time so you can get the time it accelerated to the car.

A motorcycle is following a car that is traveling at constant speed on a straight highway. Initially, the car and the motorcycle are both traveling at the same speed of 22.0 m/s , and the distance between them is 60.0 m . After t1= 5.00 s , the motorcycle starts to accelerate at a rate of 5.00...

Alright thanks for the help. I've been dealing with mastering physics and the program in general is very hard to work with especially if you're no sure how to go about solving the problem. Does anybody have any tips for this system?

Right, so what equations do I need to be looking at?

I plugged it back in using the velocity I came up with trying to find the time the first stone hit the ground in, but I was told I needed to incorprate the other stone's initial speed into the problem.

Am I on the right track with the formula?

A stone is dropped from the roof of a building; 1.50 s after that, a second stone is thrown straight down with an initial speed of 24.0 m/s , and the two stones land at the same time. How long did it take the first stone to reach the ground? V=Vo+aT I plugged 1.5 s for time, 9.8...

Okay I got it thanks a lot for the help :)

A race car driver must average 200.0 km/h over the course of a time trial lasting ten laps. If the first nine laps were done at 198.0 km/h , what average speed must be maintained for the last lap? Avg Speed=Distance traveled/Time 218 km/h, I averaged the first 9 laps at 198 and plugged the...

Homework Statement A runner hopes to complete the 10,000 meter run in less than 30 minutes, after exactly 25 minutes there are 1900 meters to go. The runner must then accelerate at 0.22 m/s^2 for how many seconds in order to achieve the desired time? Homework Equations V=change in...
