A 20,000 kg truck is traveling down the highway at a speed of 29.1 m/s.  Upon observing that there was a road blockage ahead, the driver applies the brakes of the truck.  If the applied brake force is 11.1 kN causing a constant deceleration, determine the distance, in meters, required to come to a stop?

On a national highway in a rural region of Laguna, a car is traveling at a speed of 20.0 m/s. Is this car exceeding the speed limit of 60.0 km/h?

A truck of mass 2.40 * 103 kg is moving at 25.0 m/s. Whenthe driver applies the brakes, the truck comes a stop after traveling 48.0 m. What is the magnitude of the truck’s constant acceleration as it slows down?

A small, single engine airplane is about to take off. The airplane becomes airborne, when its speed reaches 117.0 km/h. The conditions at the airport are ideal, there is no wind. When the engine is running at its full power, the acceleration of the airplane is 2.40 m/s2. What is the minimum required length of the runway?

As a city planner, you receive complaints from local residents about the safety of nearby roads and streets. One complaint concerns a stop sign at the corner of Pine Street and 1st Street. Residents complain that the speed limit in the area (55 mph) is too high to allow vehicles to stop in time. Under normal conditions this is not a problem, but when fog rolls in visibility can reduce to only 155 ft. Since fog is a common occurrence in this region, you decide to investigate. The state highway department states that the effective coefficient of friction between a rolling wheel and asphalt ranges between 0.536 and 0.599, whereas the effective coefficient of friction between a skidding (locked) wheel and asphalt ranges between 0.350 and 0.480. Vehicles of all types travel on the road, from small VW bugs weighing 1410 lb to large trucks weighing 8250 lb. Considering that some drivers will brake properly when slowing down and others will skid to stop, calculate the minimum and maximum…

Two students are asked to find the height of a particular building using a barometer. Instead of using the barometer as an altitude measuring device, they take it to the roof of the building and drop it off, timing its fall. One student reports a fall time of 2.0 s, and the other, 2.3 s. What % difference does the 0.3 s make for the estimates of the building’s height?

a car is traveling at the speed Vo on a straight, level road. After the brakes are applied at t=0, the motion can be approximatd by x=t^3/100-t^2+17t where x is the distance traveled in meters and t is the time in seconds. What is the max acceleration during brake?

An automobile manufacturer claims that its product will, starting from rest, travel 0.40 km in 9.0 s. What is the magnitude of the constant acceleration required to do this?
