4. During the middle of an 800 metre race an athlete running at 6.8 ms constantly accelerates, along part of the straight, to 8 msin order to get in a better position for the final lap. Given this took 2 seconds, what distance did the athlete cover in this time?

6. The position of a particle along a straight line is given by s = (1.5r - 13.52 + 22.5t) ft, where t is in seconds. Determine the position of the particle when t = 6 s and the total distance it travels during the 6- s time interval. Hint: Plot the path to determine the total distance traveled. Ans. s=6s = -27.0 ft ; Stot = 10.5 + 48.0+ 10.5 69.0 ft 7. A particle moves along a straight line such that its position is defined by s = ( - 6t + 5) m. Determine

2. A toy rocket is launched with an initial velocity of 180 m/s. The height of the rocket, in metres, can be modelled by h = -5t + 180t, where t is the time in seconde the rocket is in the air. How long will the rocket stay above a height of 1000 m?
Suppose a car merges into freeway traffic on a 200 - m - long ramp. If its initial velocity is Om / s and it accelerates at 2.00 m / s2, how long does it take the car to travel the 200 m up
2. Starting from rest at home plate, a baseball player runs to first base (90 ft away). He uniformly accelerates over the first 10 ft to his maximum speed, which is then maintained until he crosses first base. If the overall run is completed in 4 seconds, determine his maximum speed, the acceleration over the first 10 feet, and the time duration of the acceleration. Ans. 25 fps, 31.2 ft/s², 0.80 sec
You are standing on a circular track that is 315 m long. You begin jogging at the start line and keep jogging until you complete one full lap and stop at the same point you started at. - What is the total distance you travel? - What is your final displacement? A world class sprinter ran 200 m in 21.75s. What was her average speed? (m/s)
Wags decides to go on another adventure. He begins by traveling east for 100m. He then moves 75 m in a direction 60◦ west of south. Finally, he accelerates at a rate of 2.5 m/s2, from rest, directly north. How far is he from his starting location 10seconds after he began accelerating? - I know we have to find the displacement but then what?

In a men's 100m race, accelerating uniformly, Jimmy takes 2.50s and Roy 3.00s to attain their maximum speeds, which they each maintain for the rest of the race. They cross the finish line simultaneously, both setting a world record of 9.0s. What is the acceleration of each sprinter? What are their respective maximum speeds?
A motorcycle officer hidden at an intersection observes a car driven by an oblivious driver who ignores a stop sign and continues through the intersection at a constant speed. The police officer takes off in pursuit 2.0s after the car has passed the stop sign. She accelerates at 4.2 m/s^2 until her speed is 110 km/h until she catches the car. The car is 1.4 km from the intersection. a) How long did it take for the officer to catch the car? b) How fast was the car traveling?
4. You attach a meter stick o an oak tree, such that the top of the meter stick is 2.27 meters above the ground. Later, an acorn falls from somewhere higher up in the tree. If the acorn takes 0.241 seconds to pass the length of the meter stick, how high ho above the ground was the acorn before it fell, assuming that the acorn did not run into any branches or leaves on the way down?
