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 lap. Gene is on one of the last laps and is starting to lose breath already. If Gene can accelerate at 0.3m/s? and decelerate at 1.2 m/s, how long is the fastest 20m lap he could possibly run?

8. Another physics student 'borrows' a sports car for a joy ride and discovers that it can accelerate at a rate of 4.90 m/s2. He decides to test the car by challenging Mr. Blain and his motorcycle. Both start from rest, but the student is so confident in his new ride that he gives Mr. Blain a 1.00 s head start. If Mr. Blain moves with a constant acceleration of 3.50 m/s2 and the student maintains his acceleration of 4.90 m/s2, find: a. the time it takes the student to overcome Mr. Blain. b. the distance he travels before he catches up with Mr. Blain. the speed of both vehicles at the instant the student overtakes Mr. Blain.

2. Maui Dionisia is a Mechatronics Engineering student who lives 2km away from the university. One morning, she rode a jeepney that stopped right in front of their house. The jeepney then speeds up to 40 km/hr with a constant acceleration of 2m/s and runs at this speed for a time. Maui then shouts "Para po!" causing the vehicle to come at rest with a deceleration of 5 m/s. What is the total travel time of Maui (in minutes)?

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
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?

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.
3. One of the fastest right handed pitchers in 2022 was Dylan Lesko. Each ball he pitched ranges from a speed of 50m/s. If Dylan was in contact with the ball over a distance of 3m and produced constant acceleration, a) What acceleration did he give the ball? b) How much time did it take him to pitch it?
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
One of the most difficult things to learn in physics is that our everyday language is not always precise enough. For instance, we might say a car is “slowing down”, but that only gives us information abouts velocity, not its acceleration. What can we say about the velocity of a car which has negative acceleration in the x-direction? a. It is slowing down. b. The x-component of its velocity is decreasing. c. The x-component of its velocity is negative. d. It is speeding up. e. The x-component of its velocity is positive. f. The x-component of its velocity is increasing.
