*80. Multiple-Concept Example 8 illustrates the concepts that are perti- nent to this problem. A cab driver picks up a customer and delivers her 2.00 km away, on a straight route. The driver accelerates to the speed limit and, on reaching it, begins to decelerate at once. The magnitude of the deceleration is three times the magnitude of the acceleration. Find the lengths of the acceleration and deceleration phases.

A car starts from rest with an acceleration of 5.3 m/s² which decreases linearly with time to zero in 10.3 seconds, after which the car continues at a constant speed. Determine the time t required for the car to travel 330 m from the start. Answer: t = i ! S

A Thomson's gazelle can run at very high speeds, but its acceleration is relatively modest. A reasonable model for the sprint of a gazelle assumes an acceleration of 4.2 m/s2m/s2 for 6.5 ss , after which the gazelle continues at a steady speed. What is the gazelle's top speed? Express your answer with the appropriate units. A human would win a very short race with a gazelle. The best time for a 30 mm sprint for a human runner is 3.6 ss. How much time would the gazelle take for a 30 mm race? Express your answer with the appropriate units. A gazelle would win a longer race. The best time for a 200 mm sprint for a human runner is 19.3 ss. How much time would the gazelle take for a 200 mm race? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
A snowboarder on a slope starts from rest and reaches a speed of 2.4 m/s after 7.1 s. (a) What is the magnitude (in m/s2) of the snowboarder's average acceleration? in m/s2 (b) How far (in m) does the snowboarder travel in this time? in m
A car starts from rest. It accelerates at constant acceleration for 5.0 seconds during which the car covers a distance of 125 m. After that the car continues at that speed for 22 seconds, after which the car slows down at a constant deceleration of – 4.5 m/sec2 until coming to a complete stop. Draw a v vs t, graph, label all the relevant data, and use the graphical method to determine total distance traveled.
Another scheme to catch the Roadrunner has failed. A safe falls from rest from the top of a 25.0 m high cliff toward Wile E. Coyote, who is standing at the base. Wile first notices the safe after it has fallen 15.0 m. How long does he have to get out of the way. Some solutions are using the method of finding the difference of time between 25m and 15m. But some are finding the difference of time between 25m and 10m. Which one is correct?.
A tourist being chased by an angry bear is running in a straight line toward his car at a speed of 6.25 m/s. The car is a distance d away. The bear is 21.3 m behind the tourist and running at 8.64 m/s. The tourist reaches the car safely. What is the maximum possible value for d? Vbear Number i Vtourist Units
Here, you derive the formula. At t = 0, a car is going v0 and is x0 from the start of the road. The driver accelerates the car at a until time t. Derive the formula for x(t).
A car, moving to the left in a straight line in the negative x-direction, travels a distance d = 32 m during time interval Δt = 18 s. In this case, must there be an instant at which the speed of the car is equal to its average speed? Explain answer.
A snowboarder on a slope starts from rest and reaches a speed of 2.9 m/s after 8.7 s. (a) What is the magnitude (in m/s2) of the snowboarder's average acceleration? m/s2 (b) How far (in m) does the snowboarder travel in this time? m
Ilya and Anya each can run at a speed of 7.60 mph and walk at a speed of 3.50 mph . They set off together on a route of length 5.00 miles . Anya walks half of the distance and runs the other half, while Ilya walks half of the time and runs the other half. a) Find Anya's average speed. b) How long does it take Ilya to cover the distance? (in minutes) c) Now find Ilya's average speed. Thanks
