1. A car begins at rest at a stoplight. After the light turn green, the car begins to accelerate 5 m/s over the span of 3.6 seconds. What is the car's displacement over this period of time? 2. A cyclist is riding along at a speed of 12 m/s when she decides to come to a stop. The cyclist applies the brakes, decelerating her at a rate of 2.5 m/s over the span of 5 seconds. What distance does she travel over this period of time?

1. At time t = 0.0 s, a steel ball is thrown vertically downwards from the top of a tall tower with a velocity of 2.0 m/s. = 3.0 s. 2.0 s and t = Calculate the distance it falls between the period of t (You may ignore air resistance. Take the acceleration due to gravity to be 10.0 m/s.)
4. The Pacer Test. As a warm-up, Gene is trying to do everyone's favorite Pacer test, which involves running back and forth between two markers 20 m apart in a sufficient amount of time. When Gene runs, he starts from rest, accelerates at a constant rate, decelerates at a constant rate, and finishes at rest in order to make the next lap as soon as possible. The Pacer test starts slow, but picks up speed for each Iap. Gene is on one of the last laps and is starting to lose breath already. If Gene can accelerate at 0.3 m/s? and decelerate at 1.2 m/s, how long is the fastest 20 m lap he could possibly run?
1. A police car at rest is passed by a car travelling at 120 km/h. Three seconds after the car passes, the police car puts on its sirens and accelerates uniformly until it catches the car 1200 m down the road. What is the acceleration of the police car and how long does it take to catch the car? n to travol
1. Cars A and B approached each other on a straight road from points 550 m apart. It has an initial speed of 75 kph and is decelerating at the rate of 0.40 m/s². B has an initial speed of 20 kph and is accelerating at the rate of 0.35 m/s². a) At what time will the cars be 200 m apart from each other? b) Determine the velocity of A at this instant. c) At what time will the two cars meet each other?
2. A driver riding a Honda CB100OR moves along a straight path at 80mph. He suddenly saw an injured lady rider on the side of the lover and he decided to stop and help her. He hit his brakes and the motorcycle completely stopped after 5 seconds. Assume that during the time of decceleration, the big bike's acceleration remains constant. Between applying the brake and coming to rest, how far has the motorcycle traveled?
A car speeds up from a gas station with a constant acceleration of 4m/s^2 and reached 50m/s then stayed at this speed for a certain time. The driver sees his destination and applied the brakes causing a constant deceleration of 6m/s^2. The gas station is 2km away from his destination. a. How far did the car run at constant speed? b. How long did it take to finish the whole trip?
A particle travels along the +x axis. At t = 0 s, its velocity is 10.0 m/s and its acceleration is -2.0 m/s^2. Question A: Which of the following statements is true? 1. The particle will slow down and eventually come to a complete stop 2. The particle cannot have a negative acceleration and be moving in the positive x direction 3. The particle will continue to move in the positive x direction, slowing but never coming to a complete stop. 4. The particle will slow down, stop momentarily, then speed up in the x- direction. Question B: At what time will the particle be stopped? 1. t = 5.0 s 2. t = -5.0 s 3. t = -0.2 s 4. The particle does not ever stop Question C: What is the particle's displacement from its initial position at t = 10.0 s ? Please Answer questions A, B, and C
A car is driving on I-80 traveling at 75 mph. It passes a police officer on the side of the road who is stationary. The moment that the car passes the police officer, the officer accelerates at a constant rate of 20 ft/s2 until she reaches a speed of 80 mph. At that point, her speed is maintained. a. How far does the police car travel before reaching its full speed (in ft)? b. How far does the car travel while the police car is speeding up (in ft)? c. How far does the police car travel before catching up with the car (in ft)?
1. Hendrix and Tacey were to compete in a race over a course 2km long. Tacey crawls straight and steadily at its maximum speed of 0.4m/s toward the finish line. Hendrix runs at its maximum speed of 10m/s towards the goal for 1.7km and then stops to tease Tacey. How close to the goal can Hendrix let Tacey approach before resuming the race, which Tacey wins in a photo finish? Assume that when moving, both contestants move steadily at their respective maximum speeds.
A safety measure when driving cars is to leave a separation of "3 s" with respect to the next car. This rule has made it possible to avoid many accidents. a. If a car travels at 60 km / h, what distance (in meters) will it travel in 3 seconds? Assuming there is an accident 20 m from where you are, what acceleration must you have to bring the car to a complete stop before reaching the accident?b. Repeat part a considering a speed of 90 km / hc. Repeat part a considering a speed of 120 km / hd. Repeat part a considering a speed of 150 km / h
2. Two cars are drag racing. The red car accelerates at a rate of 4.7 m/s', and the blue car at a rate of 3.9 m/s’. The blue car starts 1.5 s before the red. Find the time it takes for the red car to be at the same position as the blue car, how the cars have traveled, and how fast each is moving at this time.
At the instant the traffic light turns green, a car starts from rest with a constant acceleration of 3.0 m/s2 . At that instant, a truck travelling with a constant speed of 36 km/h overtakes and passes the car. a. How long does it take the car to overtake the truck? b. How fast will the car be travelling when it overtakes the truck.
