At a football tryout, a player runs a 40-yard dash in t₂ = 4.15 seconds. If the reaches his maximum speed at the 15-yard mark L₁ with a constant acceleration and then maintains that speed for the remainder of the run, determine his acceleration over the first 15 yards, his maximum speed, and the time duration of the acceleration.

t Displaying time in seconds ; V(t)=16t2 -12meter/second Calculate the distance traveled by the given vehicle in the first 3 seconds with the function ??
Car A is traveling at a location where the speed limit is 100 km/h. The police officer in car P observes this speed via radar. The driver of car A sees and reacts very unwisely to the police car P. Car A is traveling at VA = 126 km/h as it passes P, but over the next 4.4 seconds, the car uniformly accelerates to 147 km/h, after which that speed is maintained. At the moment when A passes P, the police car begins to accelerate at the constant rate of 4.0 m/s² until a speed of 170 km/h is achieved, and that speed is then maintained. Determine the distance s required for the police officer to overtake car A. A Answer: s= i -VA P ! m
2.30 An engineering student is driving on a level roadway and sees a construction sign 500 ft ahead in the middle of the roadway. The student strikes the sign at a speed of 25 mi/h. If the student was traveling at 55 mi/h when the sign was first spotted, what was the student's associated perception/reaction time (use practical stopping distance)?
An driver (t₁=1 sec) used brakes to avoid an accident when suddenly a person steps from behind parked car in the path of driver at distance 35m. can the drivers avoids the accident if he drive at velocity of: 45 km/hr, 55km/hr, 65 km/hr, 75 km/hr? (F= 0.45).
Two drivers each have a reaction time of 2.5 seconds. One is obeying a 90 km/h speed limit, and the other is travelling illegally at 108 km/h. How much distance will each of the drivers cover while perceiving/reaction to the need to stop, and what will the total stopping distance be for each driver (using practical stopping distance and assuming roadway grade g = -2.5%). Longitudinal friction coefficient (fi) can be calculated by the equation f = 1.0371 V-0.2729 where V vehicle speed in km/h.|
You are driving a car along a straight road at 123 kph. Suddenly, you saw a cat crossing the road and you apply the brakes decelerating the car at a constant rate of -44.5 m/s2. If your reaction time is 1.50 seconds, what is the shortest stopping distance from the moment you see the cat? Illustrate the problem.
1. An engineer is traveling in a straight road using his newly acquired Toyota Fortuner and found himself 120 m away from his starting point after 10 seconds. After traveling for two more seconds, he was found to be 132 m from his starting point. If he is moving with constant acceleration, determine: (a) his initial velocity (m/s), (b) his constant acceleration (m/s²),
Initially the car travels along a straight road with a speed of 35 m/s. If the brakes are applied and the speed of the car is reduced to 10 m/s in 13 s, determine the constant deceleration of the car.
Jaylen was driving a vehicle in Anaheim where he got distracted by a group of cute students of a school until he noticed the stoplight just about 15 meters ahead. How much deceleration should he need in meters per second per second if he is at a velocity of 60 kph and he needs to stop at the stoplight?
3) A vehicle is moving at 50 mph and suddenly sees an object. It applies the brakes and slows down to a speed of 15 mph. Calculate the following: a. Distance the vehicle would move before driver activates the brakes. (Use design PIEV time of 2.5 seconds) b. distance the vehicle moved after application of brakes to drop to 15 mph speed (assume constant Ideceleration rate of 11.2 ft/sec²)
