### Braking Distance Calculation

During a braking test, a car is brought to rest beginning from an initial speed of **43 mi/hr** in a distance of **117 ft**. With the same constant deceleration, what would be the stopping distance **s** from an initial speed of **76 mi/hr**?

A ball was thrown vertically downward from a 50-m high building with an initial speed of 5m/s. What is the magnitude of the acceleration after 1.0s?
Consider two cars, a 700kg Porsche and a 600kg Honda Civic. The Porsche is speeding along at 40 m/s (mph) and the Civic is going half the speed at 20 m/s. If the two cars brake to a stop with the same constant acceleration, are either the amount of time required to come to a stop, or the distance traveled prior to stopping influenced by their initial velocity?
A ball is thrown straight upward with an initial speed of 34 m/s. Assuming no air resistance, how much time (in seconds) will it take for the ball to reach its maximum height?
The driver of a truck slams on the brakes when he sees a tree blocking the road. The truck slows down uniformly with an acceleration of -5.60 m/s2 for 4.20 s, making skid marks 62.4 m long that end at the tree. With what speed does the truck then strike the tree?
In 1967, the New Zealander Burt Munro set the world speed record for an Indian motorcycle, on the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, reaching 183.58 mi/h. The one-way course was 5.00 mi long. Acceleration rates are often described by the time it takes to reach 60.0 mi/h from rest. Assuming that time was 4.5 s for Burt, if he accelerated at a constant rate until he reached his maximum speed, and then continued at that speed until the end of the course, how long, in seconds, did it take him to complete the course?
