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 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.
Imagine you are in charge of figuring out the maximum speed of a very foggy road. Consider a road that we cannot see anything beyond 15 meters. Suppose that human reaction time is 0.3s and the deceleration from pressing the brake is -10m/s². What should be the speed limit for this road in [m/s]? Hint: during the reaction time, the car still moves with constant speed. The car starts slowing down when the brake is pressed.
A car starts from rest with an acceleration of 7.7 m/s² which decreases linearly with time to zero in 10.7 seconds, after which the car continues at a constant speed. Determine the time t required for the car to travel 560 m from the start. Answer: t = i S
A VW Beetle goes from 0 to 42.0 mi/h with an acceleration of +2.35 m/s2. (a) How much time does it take for the Beetle to reach this speed? (b) A top-fuel dragster can go from 0 to 42.0 mi/h in 0.750 s. Find the acceleration (in m/s2) of the dragster.
1 1 of the distance in 7 seconds. Who wins and by how Two drivers, Alison and Kevin, are participating in a race. Beginning from a standing start, they each proceed with a constant acceleration. Alison covers the last of the distance in 5 seconds, whereas Kevin covers the last much time? ▼wins the race by seconds. (Type an integer or decimal rounded to the nearest tenth as needed.)
While standing at the edge of the roof of a building, a man throws a stone upward with an initial speed of 6.61 m/s. The stone subsequently falls to the ground, which is 17.3 m below the point where the stone leaves his hand. At what speed does the stone impact the ground? Ignore air resistance and use ?=9.81 m/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity. A) Impact speed: _________________________ m/s B) How much time is the stone in the air? elapsed time: ____________ s
A car traveling at a constant speed of 41 m/s passes a trooper hidden behind a billboard. Three seconds after the speeding car passes the billboard, the trooper sets out from the billboard to catch it, accelerating at a constant rate of 4 m/s2. How far from the billboard will the car be when the policeman catches up? (HINT: Solve for the time first. This requires using the quadratic equation.)
A car starts from rest with an acceleration of 5.7 m/s² which decreases linearly with time to zero in 8.2 seconds, after which the car continues at a constant speed. Determine the time t required for the car to travel 240 m from the start. Answer: t = i S
A physics student at a track meet has a radar gun which she can use to measure the speeds of the runners. Shortly after the start of one race she measures that the speed of a runner is 1.57 m/s. When the runner is 11.2 meters farther along the track, she measures the runner’s speed to be 7.87 m/s. Determine the runner’s acceleration during this interval (assuming the runner’s acceleration is constant)?
Suzie Lavtaski has reached the end of the ski slope and abruptly decelerates from 20 m/s to 4.56 m/s in 3.49 seconds. Determine Suzie's acceleration rate (in m/s2). (Note: your answer should be negative...) In a similar situation, Suzie Lavtaski abruptly decelerates at the end of a different ski run from 22.6 m/s to 3.73 m/s in 2.89 seconds. Determine the distance she moved (in m) during this braking period.
A VW Beetle goes from 0 to 59.0 mi/h with an acceleration of +2.35 m/s2. (a) How much time does it take for the Beetle to reach this speed? (b) A top-fuel dragster can go from 0 to 59.0 mi/h in 0.650 s. Find the acceleration (in m/s2) of the dragster.
Car A is moving with a constant velocity 6.82 m/s while Car B starts from rest and accelerates with a constant acceleration 2.67 m/s?. They both start at the same position. How long in seconds will it be before Car B overtakes Car A? Express your answer rounded off to two decimal places. Do not include the unit.
