A driver is traveling 17.8 m/s when she sees a red light ahead. Her car is capable of decelerating at a rate of 3.55 m/s2. If it takes her 0.420 s to get the brakes on and she is 20.0 m from the intersection when she sees the light, will she be able to stop in time? (tick the right answer) yes no How far from the beginning of the intersection will she be?
A car is traveling at a steady 80 km/h in a 50 km/h zone. A police motorcycle takes off at the instant the car passes it, accelerating at a steady 8.0 m/s² a. How much time elapses before the motorcycle is moving as fast as the car?
Page 5 of 8 5. As I drive on a back-country road, I suddenly see a deer "frozen" in the headlights. I was driving at 11.4 m/s, but immediately apply the brakes and slow with an acceleration of 3.80 ". a. If the deer was 20.0 m from my vehicle when the brakes were applied, how close did I come to hitting the deer? b. How much time was needed for my vehicle to stop?

Suppose a car merges into freeway traffic on a 200 - m - long ramp. If its initial velocity is Om / s and it accelerates at 2.00 m / s2, how long does it take the car to travel the 200 m up
The speed limit on a particular freeway is 28.0 m per s (about 101 km per hour). A car that is merging onto the freeway is capable of accelerating at 5.50 m/s2 If the car is currently traveling forward at 13.0 m per s, what is the shortest amount of time it could take the vehicle to reach the speed limit?
You drive a beat-up pickup truck down a straight road for 5.2 mi at 43 mi/h, at which point yourun out of fuel. You walk 1.2 mi farther, to the nearest gas station, in 27 min (= 0.450 h). What isyour average velocity from the time you started your truck to the time that you arrived at thestation?
You are stuck on a two lane road behind a truck traveling 64.4 km/h (40 mph). You pull into the oncoming lane to pass and immediately begin accelerating at 2.50 m/s 2. After passing the truck, 6.10 s have elapsed. You stop accelerating and pull back into your lane. How far down the road did you travel in the oncoming lane (in meters) during the time interval?
I tried this problem but I keep getting it wrong
At the instant the traffic light goes green, a car waiting at the intersection starts ahead with an acceleration of 2.5m/s2. At the same instant, a bus coming from behind moving at 12.0 m/s passes the car. When and where will the car catch up with the bus?
