Fast Car: On a hot day in the flats, the temperature is 106.2 degrees. A driver finds an empty, flat stretch of desert that is 1913 meters long and decides to push the limits of his car. He finds the car can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (26.8 m/s) in 4.95 s. Now he wants to see how fast the car can go. Assume the car maintains the same average acceleration until it reaches its top speed of 87.9 m / s. (a) How long will it take the car to reach its top speed? (b) How far will the car travel before it reaches its top speed?

You are a police officer examining the scene of a car crash that claimed the life of someone driving a Tesla. There was a collision involving them and a pickup truck. The truck driver, who survived, said he was travelling North into the intersection and the Tesla was travelling East into the intersection. The truck driver claims that he was not exceeding the speed limit when the accident occurred. You note the posted speed limit was 80 km/h. Like airplanes, Teslas have a black box that records various statistics in the event a collision occurs. After analyzing the data from the black box, you discover the Tesla was driving at a velocity of 69.6 km/h [E] when the collision occurred. You google the mass of both of the vehicles and find the Tesla should be about 2020 kg and the truck should be about 2820 kg. During the collision, the two vehicles crumpled and became entangled, the skid marks revealing that the two vehicles travelled E 68° N after impact. How fast, in km/h, was the truck…

A woman backs her van out of her parking space with a constant acceleration of 1.8 m/s2. Assume that her initial motion is in the positive direction. Part A: How long does it take her to reach a speed of 2.1 m/s in seconds? Part B: If she then brakes to a stop in 0.65 s, what is her acceleration in meters per square second?
1. Consider a car that initially travels in the positive direction at a speed of 30 m/s. The car uniformly speeds up to 40 m/s in a time of 5 s. Find the following: a. The acceleration of the car. b. The distance traveled over the entire 5.0 seconds. C. The distance traveled during the 2 s interval where the clock goes from t = 2 s, to t= 4 s. (Assume the 5 s time interval begins with the time = 0s.)
A sports car is to travel from A to B in exactly 40 seconds. The distance between A to B is 540 m. The car accelerates at 1.8 m/sec2, then travel at a constant speed for some time before it decelerates at 1.8 m/sec2. The car starts from rest at A and comes to rest at B. Find the maximum speed. Draw the a-t, v-t and s-t graphs to solve the problem.
While standing at the edge of the roof of a building, a man throws a stone upward with an initial speed of 5.89 m/s. The stone subsequently falls to the ground, which is 13.1 m below the point where the stone leaves his hand. At what speed does the stone impact the ground? Ignore air resistance and use g = 9.81 m/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity. impact speed: How much time is the stone in the air? elapsed time: m/s

A small block has constant acceleration as it slides down a frictionless incline. The block is released from rest at the top of the incline, and its speed after it has traveled 6.60 m to the bottom of the incline is 3.80 m/s. Q: What is the speed of the block when it is 3.80 m from the top of the incline?
