- Lisa rushes down onto a subway platform to find her train already departing. She stops and watches the cars go by. Each car is 8.60 m long. The first moves past her in 1.50 s and the second in 1.10 s. Find the constant acceleration ofthe train.A Ferrari traveling well over the posted speed limit, passes a parked Tennessee State Trooper who decided to give chase. It takes the trooper 4.6 seconds to turn on the 'blue lights' and get the 'at rest' PW5000 powered Dodge interceptor moving. Then 8.3 seconds more to accelerate to its top speed and 63 seconds more to catch up with the speeder 3.5 km down the highway from the trooper's parking spot. Determine the average speed of the Ferrari over this distance in km/hrA car, initially at rest, accelerates at a constant rate, 3.36 m/s2 for 32.6 seconds in a straight line. At this time, the car decelerates at a constant rate of -2.00 m/s2, eventually coming to rest. How much distance (in meters) did the car travel during the deceleration portion of the trip?
