A motorist traveling with a constant velocity of 30 m/s passes a school-crossing comer, where the speed limit is 20 km/h. Just as the motorist passes, a traffic officer on a motorcycle stopped at the comer starts off in pursuit with a constant acceleration of 2.0 m/s?. How much time elapses (in seconds) before the officer catches up with the motorist?

The engineer of an intercity train observes a rock slide blocking the train's path 550 m ahead and activates the train's emergency brakes. The train decelerates uniformly (Hint: negative acceleration) at 1.7 m/s and completely stopes just before hitting the rock. What is the initial speed of the train measured in m/s?

A motorist travels at a constant speed of 39.0 m/s through a school zone; exceeding the posted speed limit. A policeman waits 7.0 s after the speeding car passes, the police cruiser begins to before giving a chase at an acceleraation of 3.5 m/s2.

Suppose a car is traveling at +24.3 m/s, and the driver sees a traffic light turn red. After 0.219 s has elapsed (the reaction time), the driver applies the brakes, and the car decelerates at 4.00 m/s2. What is the stopping distance of the car, as measured from the point where the driver first notices the red light?
While driving at 45.0 mi/hr (20.1 m/s) on a straight portion of Route 9 West, Randi notices that the traffic light has turned red at the intersection directly ahead. Randi applies his brakes, slows his car down at a steady rate, and brings his car to rest, while traveling the 60.0 m distance to the stop line (at the red light). 21. While he is slowing down, the acceleration of Randi's car has a magnitude of A. 6.73 m, В. 16.9 m 2. 169 m/: А. С. 33,8 т D. 9.80 m E. 3.37 m / 22. How much time passes as Randi's car slows down from 45.0 mi/hr to 0 m/s? A. 20.68 s. B. 5.97 s. C. 2.66 s. D. 2.99 s. E. 0.596 s. 23.

D. directed parallel to the car's velocity. E. directed antiparallel to the car's velocity.
A car was traveling at 33.0 m/s on a poorly lit country road. The driver started to brake 0.35 seconds after he sees that a bridge is under construction 75 meters ahead. The car slowed down uniformly. What must be the minimum acceleration be to avoid crashing into the construction?
The patient attends physiotherapy procedures at the clinic every day. Every morning he leaves the house at the same time and moves at a constant velocity 2,5 km/h. Once, leaving the house on time, the patient, on the 1/2 part of the way, remembered that he had forgotten the documents at home and decided to return home. How fast does the patient have to move in order to be in time for the beginning of the procedure? Please enter the correct units of measurement.
A blue car travels down a straight road at a constant speed of 27.7 m/s. As they pass a red car, initially stopped on the side of the road, the red car speeds up at a rate of 1.61 m/s?. How much distance (in m) does the red car travel before it overtakes the blue car?
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.
