2. A car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly to a speed of 60 km/hour over a distance of 510 meters. (i) Calculate the acceleration and time taken. (ii) If a further acceleration raises the speed to 94 km/hour in 10 seconds, find the acceleration and further distance moved. (iii) The brakes are now applied and the car comes to rest under uniform retardation in 5 seconds. Find the retardation of the car and the distance travelled during this retardation.

When a volleyball coach releases a volleyball from a height of 2 m above the gym floor, it falls to the floor and bounces back to two-thirds the same height. When it is in contact with the floor, the lower side of the ball is temporarily flattened. Suppose the maximum depth of the dent is 1 cm. (Assume the positive direction is upward.)1. Determine the acceleration of the ball (in m/s2) while it is in contact with the floor and compressing. (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) 2. Determine the velocity of the ball (in m/s) as it leaves the floor on the rebound. (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) 3. What If? If instead of dropping the ball, the coach throws it down (from some unknown height) with such a speed that it bounces back up to a height three times its original height, determine the new acceleration of the ball (in m/s2) while in contact with the floor and expanding. (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)
