A driver is driving uphill. He maintained his throttle, causing his car to constantly decelerate as it is coming up the hill. The road going up the hill is 217 m long and it took him 8.8 seconds to get to the top of the hill. His speed has reduced to 22 m/s at that point. What was the car's acceleration (include a negative sign in your answer)? Hint: the initial position of the car can be set at the origin.

A bus is traveling a constant 11.0 m/s. It passes a sports car at rest which immediately begins to accelerate at 4.0 m/s2. How long will it take the sports car to reach the bus? Answer in seconds
In 1967, New Zealander Burt Munro set the world record for an Indian motorcycle, on the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, with a maximum speed of 183.58 mi/h. The one‐way course was 5.00 mi long. Acceleration rates are often described by the time it takes to reach 60.0 mi/h from rest. If this time was 4.00 s, and Burt accelerated at this rate until he reached his maximum speed, a. how long did it take Burt to complete the course? b. Sketch position vs time, velocity vs. time, and acceleration vs. time graphs for the race.
A boy has a height of 1.83 meters measured from the ground surface. She then lifts a rock and throw it straight upward giving it an upward acceleration coming from rest of 35.0 m/s^2 for 64 cm. The ball was released 2.20 m above the ground. A.)How high above the ground does the rock go? B.) compute the time she must get out of its way before it returns exactly at his height
A pilot flies in a straight path for 1 h 30 min. She then makes a course correction, heading 10 degrees to the right of her original course, and flies 2 h in the new direction. If she maintains a constant speed of 660 mi/h, how far is she from her starting position? Your answer is _______________ mi Enter your answer rounded to two decimal places.
A speeding driver noticed a police car parked about 75 m in from of him on the side of the road and reduced his speed at a constant rate from 35 m/s for a duration of 2.9 seconds as he drove past the police car. What was the car's acceleration (include a negative sign in your answer)? Hint: the initial position of the car can be set at the origin. Your Answer:
Bob is cruising leisurely on his bike at 2.4 m/s when Jim passes him, traveling at a constant 10.2 m/s. Bob immediately begins accelerating at 2.2 m/s2 until he reaches his maximum velocity of 13.5 m/s. He continues cruising at that speed until he catches Jim. How long did it take him to catch up to Jim? (Assume the clock started at the instant he began to accelerate.) t = How far did he have to go to catch up to Jim? Ax =
Car A is moving with a constant velocity 6.17 m/s while Car B starts from rest and accelerates with a constant acceleration 2.4 m/s2. They both start at the same position. How long in seconds before Car B overtake Car A? Express your answer rounded off to two decimal places. Do not include the unit.
3. Toy Train : A toy train pushed forward and released at x0=2.0 m with a speed of 2 m/s. It rolls at a steady speed for 2 s, then one wheel begins to stick. The train comes to a stop at 6m from the point at which it was released. What is the magnitude of the train's acceleration after its wheel begins to stick?
A high performance sports car goes from 0 to 100 mph (44.7 m/s) in 7.2s. A) What is the car’s average acceleration? B) The same car can come to a complete stop from 34 m/s in about 3.7s. What is its Average Acceleration?
Bob is cruising leisurely on his bike at 2 m/s when Jim passes him, traveling at a constant 10 m/s. Bob immediately begins accelerating at 2.2 m/s² until he reaches his maximum velocity of 13.5 m/s. He continues cruising at that speed until he catches Jim. How long did it take him to catch up to Jim? (Assume the clock started at the instant he began to accelerate.) t = How far did he have to go to catch up to Jim? Ax = %3D
