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.

A driver is travelling at 70mph, and spot something in the road. When the driver strikes the object he is travelling 15mph. Calculate the distance of the driver when he spotted the object assuming a standard reaction time.
Car A is traveling at a constant speed vA = 132 km/h at a location where the speed limit is 100 km/h. The police officer in car Pobserves this speed via radar. At the moment when A passes P, the police car begins to accelerate at the constant rate of 4.1 m/s² until a speed of 169 km/h is achieved, and that speed is then maintained. Determine the distance s required for the police officer to overtake car A. Neglect any nonrectilinear motion of P. VA Answer:s= m
A motorist is travelling at 72km/hr when he observes that a traffic light ahead of him turns red. The traffic light is timed to stay red for 22 seconds. If the motorists wishes to pass the light without stopping just as it tums green again, determine a) the required uniform deceleration of the car in m/s^2 b) the speed of the car in m/s as it passes the light. 320m v = 72km/hr
WA driver is travelling at 60 kph on asphalt road. An object is stopped on the road 264 ft a head and the driver is able to come to stop just before hitting the object. Determine the gradient of the road if you know that the driver reacted and prepared after 2.85 sec who saw the object.
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 is traveling at VA = 128 km/h as it passes P, but over the next 5.8 seconds, the car uniformly decelerates to the speed limit of 100 km/h, and after that the speed limit is maintained. At the moment when A passes P, the police car begins to accelerate at the constant rate of 5.9 m/s² until a speed of 168 km/h is achieved, and that speed is then maintained. Determine the distances required for the police officer to overtake car A. Answer: s= VA P m
3. A sprinter (starting from rest) in a 150-m race accelerates uniformly for the first ** m and then runs with constant velocity. If the sprinter's time for the first 50 m is 5.4 sec. Determine: a. His acceleration b. His final velocity c. His time for the race
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 VÅ = 129 km/h as it passes P, but over the next 4.9 seconds, the car uniformly accelerates to 149 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 4.4 m/s² until a speed of 177 km/h is achieved, and that speed is then maintained. Determine the distances required for the police officer to overtake car A. A Answer: s= VA P m
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 is traveling at vÃ = 122 km/h as it passes P, but over the next 4.1 seconds, the car uniformly decelerates to the speed limit of 100 km/h, and after that the speed limit 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 164 km/h is achieved, and that speed is then maintained. Determine the distance s required for the police officer to overtake car A. Answer: s= i VA 248.52 P m

At a football tryout, a player runs a 40-yard dash in 4.25 seconds. If he reaches his maximum speed at the 16-yard mark with a constant acceleration and then maintains that speed for the remainder of the run, determine his acceleration over the first 16 yards, his maximum speed, and the time duration of the acceleration
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 (f₁) can be calculated by the equation f where V vehicle speed in km/h. 1.0371 V-0.2729
