A bus bound to San Carlos City is moving
up a steep hill in DSB at 30m/s when
suddenly the engine stopped. The driver
hits the brakes, but they don't work either.
The bus starts to accelerate at -3m/s2. How
far does it move forward before it starts
sliding back down the hill?
A ball is thrown straight down with an initial speed of 2.3 m/s from a height of 5.0 m. What is the position of the ball after 3.5 s, in meters? Use g = 10 m/s2.

When Mary is 22 m from the finish line, she has a speed of 4.0m/s and is 5.0 m behind Sally, who has a speed of 5.0m/s.
