accelerates at 4.0 m/s2 for 6.0 s, coasts
for 2.0 s, and then slows down at a rate
of 3.0 m/s2 for the next stop sign. How
far apart are the stop signs?

Chameleons catch insects with their tongues, which they can rapidly extend to great lengths. In a typical strike, the chameleon's tongue accelerates at a remarkable 240 m/s2 for 20 ms, then travels at constant speed for another 30 ms. During this total time of 50 ms, 1/20 of a second, how far does the tongue reach?
You are driving a car on a straight road at a speed of +25.0 m/s when you spot a desert tortoise walking across the road in front of you. You brake the car to a stop. The car slows down with a constant acceleration of −2.0 m/s2. How far does the car travel as it slows to a stop?
You were playing POP POP crackers with your neighbor's kids. To show off your speed, you threw a POP POP cracker at an initial speed of 7.0 m/s downward. The height above ground where you let go of the cracker was about 1.0 m. The cracker popped upon impact with the ground. How long did the kids have between the throw (you let go of the cracker at its initial speed) and the pop (the cracker impacts the ground) to cover their ears and scream? You can assume the final position to be zero. The cracker has negligible amount of air drag. Hint: the cracker has a downward initial velocity. Please include enough significant figures (3 sig. figs.) to ensure your answer is within 5% of the correct answer.
