At a stop light, a truck traveling at 15 m/s passes a car as it starts from rest. The truck travels at constant velocity and the car accelerates at 3 m/s2. How much time does the car take to catch up to the truck? Group of answer choices 10 s 25 s 15 s 20 s 5 s
The citizen leaves a city at 3:00 p.m. It travels at 36.0 m / s when the engine of its car stops. During the next twelve seconds, the car slows down and its average acceleration is a1. Over the next six seconds, the car slows down even further, and its average acceleration is a2. The speed of the car is 28.0 m / s. The ratio of the average acceleration values is a1 / a2 = 1.50. (a) Find the speed of the car at the end of the initial twelve second interval. (b) Calculate the total distance traveled by the car before stopping.

(b) What is the object's acceleration between 4.0 s and 9.0 s? (c) What is the object's acceleration between 13.0 s and 18.0 s? (d) At what time(s) is the object moving with the lowest speed? (e) At what time is the object farthest from x = 0? (1) What is the final position x of the object at t = 18.0 s? (g) Through what total distance has the object moved between t = 0 and t = 18.0 s?
Tired, you walk from your house to a local coffee shop to get an espresso. You average a speed of 2.4 m/s on your way there. After your espresso, you decide to run directly back to your starting point with an average speed of 5.6 m/s. Assume you spend 4 minutes at the coffee shop. If your average speed for this entire trip is 1.9 m/s, what is the distance between your house and the coffee shop?
A snowboarder starts from rest at the top of a double black diamond hill. As she rides down the slope, GPS coordinates are used to determine her displacement as a function of time given: x = 0.5t^3 + t^2 + 2t, where x and t are expressed in feet and seconds, respectively. Determine the displacement, average velocity, average speed and average acceleration for the time period from t=2 seconds to t=7 seconds.

A car is moving in constant motion along the positive x-direction on a straight and level road. For the first 4.0 seconds of its motion, the average velocity of the car is vav-x = 8 m/s. How far did the car travel in the first 3.0 seconds?
The driver of a car traveling down the interstate slams on the brakes, causing the car to skid to rest over a distance of 152.4 m. If the car experienced an acceleration of -15.34 m/s2 during this time, how long did it take for the car to come to rest?
A car starts from rest at t = 0 s, and speeds up with a constant acceleration of 1.81 m/s2 for 6.00 s. Then it continues with a uniform speed for another 6.00 s. Finally, it speeds up with a constant acceleration of 2.02 m/s2 until it reaches a speed of 18.0 m/s. (a) Draw the velocity vs. time and acceleration vs. time graphs for this motion. Numerical values on the graphs are not required. (b) How long does it take for the car to reach a speed of 18.0 m/s? Time is measured from the beginning at t = 0 s (c) What is the total displacement of the car?
George, the absent-minded professor, drives his car 5.0 miles due east alonga straight road to the grocery store. Upon arriving there 15 minutes (0.25 h) after he left home, he suddenly realizes he forgot his grocery list. He immediately turns around and heads back towards home. After travelling 6.8 miles due west in 12 minutes (0.20 h), the car runs out of gas. What is his average speed during the not-quite-completed trip?
A person travels by car from one city to another with different constant speeds between pairs of cities. She drives for 60.0 min at 95.0 km/h, 14.0 min at 100.0 km/h, and 60.0 min at 50.0km/h and spends 25.0 min eating lunch and buying gas. (a) Determine the average speed for the trip. (b) Determine the distance between the initial and final cities along the route.
