A girl is riding her bicycle. When she gets to a corner, she stops to get a drink from her water bottle. At that time, a friend passes by her, traveling at a constant speed of 8.0 m/s. After 20 s, the girl gets back on her bike and travels with a constant acceleration of 2.2 m/s2. How long does it take for her to catch up with

A hockey player is standing on his skates on a frozen pond when an opposing player, moving with a uniform speed of 14.3 m/s, skates by with the puck. After 2.2 s, the first player makes up his mind to chase his opponent. If he accelerates uniformly at 4.6 m/s2, how long does it take him to catch his opponent?
Jenny and Alyssa are members of the cross-country team. On a training run, Jenny starts off and runs at a constant 3.8 m/s. Alyssa starts 15 s later and runs at a constant 4.0 m/s. At what time after Jenny’s start does Alyssa catchup with Jenny?
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?
2.73. An automobile and a truck start from rest at the same instant, with the automobile initially at some distance behind the truck. The truck has a constant acceleration of 2.10 m/s², and the automobile an acceleration of 3.40 m/s². The automobile over- takes the truck after the truck has moved 40.0 m. (a) How much time does it take the automobile to overtake the truck? (b) How far was the automobile behind the truck initially? (c) What is the speed of each when they are abreast? (d) On a single graph, sketch the position of each vehicle as a function of time. Take x = 0 at the initial location of the truck.
You are testing a jet back pack on a dummy. You start it rising with an upward acceleration of 3 m/sec/sec. after 9 seconds the jetpack fails (upward acceleration stops, gravity takes over). How fast is the dummy moving when it hits the ground?
Light-rail passenger trains that provide transportation within and between cities speed up and slow down with a nearly constant (and quite modest) acceleration. A train travels through a congested part of town at 5.0 m/s. Once free of this area, it speeds up to 12 m/s in 8.0 s. At the edge of town, the driver again accelerates, with the same acceleration, for another 16 s to reach a higher cruising speed. What is the final speed?
A commuter backs her car out of her garage with a constant acceleration of 1.9 m/s2. Assume that her initial motion is in the positive direction. How long does it take her to reach a speed of 2.35 m/s in seconds? If she then brakes to a stop in 0.65 s, what is her acceleration in meters per square second?
Yesterday you walked 20 meters to the right from your house to the bus stop, which took you 20 seconds. You waited at the bus stop for 1 minute before realizing you forgot your Mathematics homework at home. You ran back to your house in 5 seconds. It took you 10 seconds to find your homework, and then you ran back to the bus stop in 5 seconds just in time to catch the bus. What was your average velocity for the entire period of motion?
A motorcycle was at rest. It accelerates forward at a rate of 2 m/s2. At the same time, a bicycle with a constant velocity of 10 m/s passes the motorcycle. How far does the bicyclist get before the motorcycle passes him?
A car that moves in a linear motion starts to move with an acceleration of 5.6 m / s2, which smoothly drops to zero within 17 seconds while at rest, and continues to move at a constant speed at the end of 17 seconds. How long it takes while the distance is 451 m that has been traveled from the beginning?
A motorcycle has a constant acceleration of 4.41 m/s2. Both the velocity and acceleration of the motorcycle point in the same direction. How much time, in seconds, is required for the motorcycle to change its speed from 46.2 to 56.2 m/s?
