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?

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)?

How long does it take her to reach a speed of 2.45 m/s in seconds? t1 = If she then brakes to a stop in 0.85 s, what is her acceleration in meters per square second? a2 =
You and your family are going on a road trip to visit your recently married cousin in B.C. The total round trip distance is 2100 km. On the way to B.C., you encounter no setbacks and you are able to drive on average at a constant speed. On the way home from B.C., you encounter a snowstorm and your mom has to slow down to avoid getting into an accident. Thus, your average speed decreases by 10 km/h. If the total driving time was 42 hours, what was your average speed on the way to B.C.? Recall distance = speed x time.
Amir starts riding his bike up a 194-m-long slope at a speed of 5 m/s, decelerating at -0.2 m/s2 as he goes up. At the same instant, Becky starts down from the top at a speed of -2 m/s, accelerating at -0.45 m/s2 as she goes down. How far has Amir ridden when they pass each other?
