5. A spaceship is traveling at 20,000 m/sec. At t=5 sec, the rocket thrusters are turned on. At t-55 sec, the spaceship
reaches a speed of 24,000 m/sec. What is the space ship's acceleration?
6. A driver starts his parked car and within 5 sec reaches a velocity of 54 m/s as he travels east. What is his
acceleration?
17. Falling objects drop with an average acceleration of 9.8 m/sec/sec, or 9.8m/sec2. If an object falls from a tall
building, how long will it take before it reaches a speed of 49 m/sec?
18. A car traveling at 27 m/s loses control and crashes into a brick wall, coming to a stop in 0.9 seconds. What was the
deceleration of the car?
19. A car slows down from 50 m/s to 0 m/s for a stoplight. It does this in 5 seconds. What is the deceleration of the
car?
