A car is traveling east at 25.0 m/s when it turns north and accelerates to 35.0 m/s, all during a time of 6.00 s. Calculate the magnitude of the car's average acceleration. (See Section 3.3.)

Cheetahs can accelerate to a speed of 20.0 m/s in 2.50 s and can continue to accelerate to reach a top speed of 29.5 m/s. Assume the acceleration is constant until the top speed is reached and is zero thereafter. Let the +?-direction point in the direction the cheetah runs. Express the cheetah's top speed top in miles per hour--- (mi/h). Starting from a crouched position, how much time does it take a cheetah to reach its top speed what distance does it travel in that time? If a cheetah sees a rabbit 131.0 m away, how much time in total will it take to reach the rabbit, assuming the rabbit does not move and the cheetah starts from rest?
A woman drives a car from one city to another with different constant speeds along the trip. She drives at a speed of 75.0 km/h for 20.0 min; 70.0 km/h for 25.0 min; makes a stop for 55.0 min, then continues at 40 km/h for 35.0 min, at which point she reaches her destination. What is the total distance between her starting point and destination (in km)? km

rocket, on an unknown planet, launches straight upward. Starting from rest, the rocket accelerates until it reaches 25 m/s then maintains that velocity until its boosters shut off. It eventually falls back to the planet. ASSUME: Starting at t = 0, the rocket accelerates upwards a total distance of 10 m, where it reaches an instantaneous velocity of 25 m/s The moment it reaches an instantaneous velocity of 25 m/s, it travels 30 m upward at a constant speed, then the engines cut off. The moment the engines cut off: the rocket is in free fall From the time it initially launches (t = 0) to the time it lands back on the planet is 7 s The acceleration due to gravity is constant on this planet. HOWEVER you may not assume g = 10 m/s2 Air resistance is negligible DETERMINE: The acceleration due to gravity on this planet

A dog and her handler are at rest, and are facing each other at a distance of 40.0 m. On command, they run towards each other: the handler runs at a constant speed vp = 2.5 m/s, while the dog first runs with constant acceleration ad = 2.0 m/s 2 until she reaches her maximum speed of vd = 4.5 m/s. a) Calculate the time it takes the dog to reach her maximum speed. Choose t = 0 when the handler and dog start to run. b) Find the positions of the handler and dog at the instant the dog reaches her maximum speed. Choose the coordinate, such as that the handler is at the origin x = 0 at time t = 0. %3D %3D %3D Notes Comments
