In the AB-run, minicars start from a standstill at point A, race along a straight track, and come to a full stop at point B one- half mile away. Given that the cars can accelerate uniformly to a maximum speed of 60 mph in 20 seconds and can brake at a maximum rate of 22 feet per second per second, what is the best possible time for the completion of the AB-run?

A girl operates a radio-controlled model car in a vacant parking lot. The girl drives a car in a straight line so that the x coordinate is defined by the relation is given by x(t) = 0.5t3 – 3t2 + 3t +2 where x is in meters and t in seconds. When is the instantaneous acceleration zero?
A driver is driving uphill. He maintained his throttle, causing his car to constantly decelerate as it is coming up the hill. The road going up the hill is 217 m long and it took him 8.8 seconds to get to the top of the hill. His speed has reduced to 22 m/s at that point. What was the car's acceleration (include a negative sign in your answer)? Hint: the initial position of the car can be set at the origin.
A light rail commuter train accelerates at a rate of 1.35 m/s^2. a) How long does it take to reach a top speed of 80 km/h, starting from rest? b) How far does it travel during this period? (Hint you know the acceleration, v(final), and v(initial) so use the time independent velocity equation ( v(final)^2 = v(initial)^2 + 2ad ) to solve for d. Round your answer to the nearest tenth

An Aston Martin and a Bugatti are moving in the same direction along a perfectly straight part of the Ehra-Lessien high-speed oval. The Aston Martin is ahead of the Bugatti and is travelling at a constant speed of 115.2 km/h. The Bugatti is initially travelling at a speed of 97.2 km/h but begins to accelerate at a constant acceleration of 1 m/s². The distance between the vehicles at the moment the Bugatti begins to accelerate is 600m. (i) Calculate the time, in seconds, it takes for the Bugatti to overtake the Aston Martin, from the moment the Bugatti begins to accelerate. (ii) Calculate the speed, in km/h, of the Bugatti at the moment it overtakes the Aston Martin. (iii) Calculate the distance, in metres, travelled by the Bugatti from the moment it be- gins to accelerate to the moment it overtakes the Aston Martin.
I need help solving this question. A rocket starting from rest rises vertically and accelerates at a constant rate of 13 m/s2 for 7 min. At this point the engine of the rocket accidently fails and completely shuts down. (Neglect air resistance and any variation in the acceleration due to gravity) a) What is the speed of the rocket when the engine shuts down? b) How high is the rocket above the ground at the point where the engine shuts down? c) How much higher will the rocket rise after the engine fails? d) What is the total time of the rocket in air? e) What is the average speed of the rocket for the entire trip?

During a braking test, a car is brought to rest beginning from an initial speed of 45 mi/hr in a distance of 110 ft. With the same constant deceleration, what would be the stopping distance s from an initial speed of 70 mi/hr? Answer: s = i ft
Problem 10: On a one lane road, a person driving a car at v = 78 mi/h suddenly notices a truck 0.65 mi in front of him. That truck is moving in the same direction at v2 = 41 mi/h. In order to avoid a collision, the person has to reduce the speed of his car to vz during time interval At. The smallest magnitude of acceleration required for the car to avoid a collision is a. During this problem, assume the direction of motion of the car is the positive direction. Refer to the figure. d.
