5. A car drives down a straight farm road. Its position x from a stop sign is described by the following equation: x(t) = At² - Bt³ where A = 2.14 m/s² and B=0.0770 m/s³. Use this information to calculate the car's a. average velocity from t=0 to t = 3.00 s b. instantaneous velocity at t = 0 and also at t = 3.00 s C. average acceleration from t=0 tot = 3.00 s d. instantaneous acceleration at t = 0 and also at t = 3.00 s

A landscape architect is planning an artificial waterfall in a city park. Water flowing at 1.70 m/s will leave the end of a horizontal channel at the top of a vertical wall h = 2.35 m high, and from there it will fall into a pool (Fig. P3.42). (a) Will the space behind the waterfall be wide enough for a pedestrian walkway? (b) To sell her plan to the city council, the architect wants to build a model to standard scale, which is one-twelfth actual size. How fast should the water flow in the channel in the model?

Joe decides to race his younger sister, Debbie, and gives her a 25 m head start. At the instant Joe starts running, his sister reaches a velocity of 12 m/s [W] while accelerating at 0.4 m/s2 [W]. If Joe accelerates at a rate of 1.2 m/s2 [W], how long does it take for him to catch up to his sister?
A player using a cue accelerates a shuffleboard disk at a constant 7.3m/s2 from rest for 0.65sec. At this point the disk loses contact with the cue and slows down at a constant rate of 2.3 m/s2 until it stops. What is the total distance traversed by the disk?
We did this problem in class (3.10) and the answer ended up being 1.35 m/s but I'm still confused with the steps taken to get that answer.
A spaceship ferrying workers to Moon Base I takes a straight-line path from the earth to the moon, a distance of 384,000km. Suppose the spaceship starts from rest and accelerates at 20.0 m/s^2 for the first 15.0 min of the trip, and then travels at constant speeduntil the last 15.0 min, when it slows down at a rate of 20.0 m/s^2 , just coming to rest as it reaches the moon. (a) What fraction of the total distance is traveled at constant speed? (b) What total time is required for the trip?
A flashlight is thrown straight up on the Moon at 30.0 m/s. The acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the Moon is 1.62 m/s2, and the Moon has no atmosphere. What is the height of the flashlight when it is coming back down with a speed of 20.0 m/s?
here is my problem, I need help: One simple model for a person running the 100 mm dash is to assume the sprinter runs with constant acceleration until reaching top speed, then maintains that speed through the finish line. If a sprinter reaches his top speed of 11.1 m/sm/s in 2.64 ss , what will be his total time? Express your answer in seconds.

Jane is driving down the road at 20.0 m/s looking for a house address. when she sees the house, she slams on her brakes. If her reaction time is 1.20s and her car deaccelerates at 3.50 m/s^2, how far past the point where she first saw the house did her car come to rest? I feel like I need to use one of the 4 kinematics equations, but none seem to be giving me the correct answer when I plug in my numbers :(
