Answer:
a. 
b.
must be the minimum magnitude of deceleration to avoid hitting the leading car before stopping
c.
is the time taken to stop after braking
Explanation:
Given:
- speed of leading car,

- speed of lagging car,

- distance between the cars,

- deceleration of the leading car after braking,

a.
Time taken by the car to stop:

where:
, final velocity after braking
time taken


b.
using the eq. of motion for the given condition:

where:
final velocity of the chasing car after braking = 0
acceleration of the chasing car after braking

must be the minimum magnitude of deceleration to avoid hitting the leading car before stopping
c.
time taken by the chasing car to stop:


is the time taken to stop after braking
Answer:

The rule for kilometers is that every three seconds between a lightning flash and the following thunder gives the distance to the flash in kilometers.
Explanation:
In order to use the rule of thumb to find the speed of sound in meters per second, we need to use some conversion ratios. We know there is 1 mile per every 5 seconds after the lightning is seen. We also know that there are 5280ft in 1 mile and we also know that there are 0.3048m in 1ft. This is enough information to solve this problem. We set our conversion ratios like this:

notice how the ratios were written in such a way that the units got cancelled when calculating them. Notice that in one ratio the miles were on the numerator of the fraction while on the other they were on the denominator, which allows us to cancel them. The same happened with the feet.
The problem asks us to express the answer to one significant figure so the speed of sound rounds to 300m/s.
For the second part of the problem we need to use conversions again. This time we will write our ratios backwards and take into account that there are 1000m to 1 km, so we get:

This means that for every 3.11s there will be a distance of 1km from the place where the lightning stroke. Since this is a rule of thumb, we round to the nearest integer for the calculations to be made easily, so the rule goes like this:
The rule for kilometers is that every three seconds between a lightning flash and the following thunder gives the distance to the flash in kilometers.

Answer:
The thrown rock strike 2.42 seconds earlier.
Explanation:
This is an uniformly accelerated motion problem, so in order to find the arrival time we will use the following formula:

So now we have an equation and unkown value.
for the thrown rock

for the dropped rock

solving both equation with the quadratic formula:

we have:
the thrown rock arrives on t=5.4 sec
the dropped rock arrives on t=7.82 sec
so the thrown rock arrives 2.42 seconds earlier (7.82-5.4=2.42)
