Figure (a) shows a red car and a green car that move toward each other. Figure (b) is a graph of their motion, showing the positions xg0 = 265 m and xr0 = -35 m at time t = 0. The green car has a constant speed of 21 m/s and the red car begins from rest. What is the acceleration magnitude of the red car?

A rocket, initially at rest on the ground, accelerates upward with a constant acceleration of 94.0 m/s2 until it reaches a speed of 1.50E2 m/s when the engines are cut off. After that, the rocket is in free-fall. What is the maximum height reached by the rocket?
A motorcycle begins at rest at t0 = 0 seconds. The motorcycle starts moving, and eventually covers a distance d = 712 m, in a time tf = 163 s. In a coordinate system with north being the positive x-direction, the motorcycle's motion is in the northern direction (see figure). If the motorcycle's final velocity at tf was 12 m/s, what was the motorcycle's average acceleration in the northern direction, aavg,N, during this period in m/s2?
