3. A police cruiser is travelling at 20.0 m/s when the officer spies a speeder. The cruiser accelerates at 3.0 m/s² for 5.0 seconds, at which time the speeder pulls over and starts thinking up excuses to try and get out of getting a ticket. The cruiser then slows to a stop at 5.0 m/s². How far does it go in the entire time?\

6. A train is moving with a constant speed. The train moves 60 meters for every 1.5 seconds that elapses. a. Assume that we get 40 by dividing 60 by 1.5. What is the name that is commonly given to a quantity represented by this number 40? b. To denote the quantity completely, what additional information must be given besides the number 40? c. How would you interpret the number 40 in this instance? Your answer should mention distance and time. d. Use your interpretation (not algebra) to find the distance the train moves in 2.5 seconds.

2. You wake up one morning to find yourself in a strange room with opaque walls, and no visible doors or windows. You decide to do some experiments to find out more about your strange situation. you drop a ball from a height of 1.22 m above the floor. The ball hits the floor 0.349 s after your drop it.
