Then, during a negligible amount of time, he changes the magnitude of his acceleration to a value of 1.37 m/s2. With this acceleration, he continues in the same direction for another 1.35 s, until he reaches a speed of 7.64 m/s. What is the value of his acceleration (assumed to be constant) during the initial 3.49 -s period? Number i Units

In heavy rush-hour traffic, you drive in a straight line at 12 m/s for 1.5 minutes, then you have to stop for 3.5 minutes, and finally, you drive at 15 m/s for another 2.5 minutes. Plot a position-versus-time graph for this motion. Your plot should extend from t = 0 minutes to t = 7.5 minutes. Assume x=0 and t=0 at the start of your motion.
A catapult launches a test rocket vertically upward from a well, giving the rocket an initial speed of 80.8 m/s at ground level. The engines then fire, and the rocket accelerates upward at 3.90 m/s2 until it reaches an altitude of 1200 m. At that point its engines fail, and the rocket goes into free fall, with an acceleration of −9.80 m/s2 For what time interval is the rocket in motion above the ground? What is the maximum altitude? What is its velocity just before it hits the ground?
In a test run, a certain car accelerates uniformly from zero to 21.6 m/s in 2.15 s. (a) What is the magnitude of the car's acceleration?(b) How long does it take the car to change its speed from 10.8 m/s to 21.6 m/s?
An object accelerating at constant acceleration (a) has an initial velocity v0 (at t=0), a velocity v at time t, and goes a particular distance d or x - x0 during the time interval. Derive the expression relating v0, v, a, and d (or x-x0). The relation must not include time. You may use either algebra or calculus.
By shooting water from its rear, a squid can provide itself with jet propulsion. Suppose a squid launches itself vertically upward from rest with constant upward acceleration for 0.890 s and travels a vertically upward distance of 2.72 m.

A helicopter carrying Dr. Evil takes off with a constant upward acceleration of 7.0 m/s2m/s2. Secret agent Austin Powers jumps on just as the helicopter lifts off the ground. After the two men struggle for 11.0 ss, Powers shuts off the engine and steps out of the helicopter. Assume that the helicopter is in free fall after its engine is shut off, and ignore the effects of air resistance. What is the maximum height above ground reached by the helicopter? Powers deploys a jet pack strapped on his back 7.0 ss after leaving the helicopter, and then he has a constant downward acceleration with magnitude 3.0 m/s2m/s2. How far is Powers above the ground when the helicopter crashes into the ground?
