10. An express train passes through a station. It enters with an initial velocity of 22.0 m/s and decelerates at a rate of 0.150 m/s* as it goes through. The station is 210 m long. (a) How long is the nose of the train in the station? (b) How fast is it going when the nose leaves the station? (c) If the train is 130 m long, when does the end of the train leave the station? (d) What is the velocity of the end of the train as it leaves?

While driving down a straight road at 70.5 km/h, you pass your physics professor who happens to be out for a jog. He's running at a constant 4.00 m/s, and you decide to slow down and talk physics with him. If you apply your brakes exactly when you pass him on the road, and your car accelerates at 3.58 m/s2 during the breaking, how far do you end up going before he catches up to you?
Suppose a car merges into freeway traffic on a 200 m long ramp. If its initial velocity is 10.0 m/s and it accelerates at 2.00 m/s2, how long does it take the car to travel the 200 m up the ramp (in s)?
A driver traveling at night on a country road suddenly sees another car pull out into the roadway in front of him.He slams on his brakes and skids for a distance of 72.9 m until he hits the other car. If the driver slowed with constant acceleration of 4.8m/s² for 4.5 s,with what speed would he hit the other car?
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?
To help travelers get around the airport, a shuttle was built between two terminals. Starting from rest, the shuttle accelerates at 0.447 m/s2 for 37.1 s, cruises at this constent velocity for 62.5 s, and then deaccelerates at -0.275 m/s2 until it comes to a stop. What is the distance between the terminals?
Two sprinters run a 100 m dash, with the winner fin ishing in 10.0 s. If the other runner was 1.00 m behind the winner at the finish, how long did it take her to run the 100 m?
My pug/bulldog mix, Georgia, who is blind and deaf, gets a whiff of her dinner. As soon as it registers to her that it's dinnertime, she runs 4.12 meters from the middle of our living room to our kitchen, where she is satiated with her grub. If it takes her 4.45 s to get to the kitchen, what was her speed in m/s to the nearest hundredth?
A locomotive is accelerating at 1.87m/s^2. It passes through a 15.1m wide crossing in a time of 3.07s. After the locomotive leaves the crossing, how much time is required until its speed reaches 28.0m/s?
A engineer was accidentally thrown(downwards) overboard at an initial velocity of 6m.sand was in complete free fall. Assuming from the railing to the surface of the water is 30m. howmany seconds does it take before he hits the water?
Suppose a car merges into freeway traffic on a 200-m-long ramp. If its initial velocity is 10.0 m/s and it accelerates at 2.00 m/s2, how long does it take to travel the 200 m up the ramp? (Such information might be useful to a traffic engineer.)
14) If an object is thrown upward with an initial velocity of 80 ft/sec, its height after t sec is given byℎ(?) = 80? − 16?2 Find the maximum height attained by the object. (The object will attain maximumheight exactly at the halfway point in terms of the time t, where t = 0 is at the beginning of theobject's flight, and the final time is when the object hits the ground.)A) 64 ftB) 84 ftC) 80 ftD) 100 ft
A hockey player is standing on his skates on a frozen pond when an opposing player, moving with a uniform speed of 12 m/s, skates by with the puck. After 3.0s, the first player makes up his mind to chase his opponent. If he accelerates uniformly at 4.0 m/s, how long does it take him to catch his opponent?
