92. A cyclist travels from point A to point B in 10 min. During the first 2.0 min of her trip, she maintains a uniform acceleration of 0.090 m/s2. She then travels at constant velocity for the next 5.0 min. Next, she decelerates at a constant rate so that she comes to a rest at point B 3.0 min later. (a) Sketch the yelocity-versus-time graph for the trip. (b) What is the acceleration during the last 3 min? (c) How far does the cyclist travel?

The first supersonic flight was performed by Charles Yeager in 1947. During his attempt, he flew from 119 m/s to top speed, accelerating at 7.29 m/s^2 for a distance of 5251 m. What top speed did he achieve?
A ball is thrown into the air by a baby alien on a planet in thesystem of Alpha Centauri with a velocity of 49 ft/s. Its heightin feet after t seconds is given by y = 49t −25t2.a.) Find the average velocity for the time period beginningwhen t0 = 1 second and lasting for the given time.t = .01 sec:t = .005 sec:t = .002 sec :t = .001 sec: b.) Estimate the instanteneous velocity when t = 1.
A train normally travels with a uniform speed of 72 km / h on a long stretch of flat, straight track. On a certain day, the train must make a 2.0 minute stop at a station on this track. If the train decelerates with a uniform rate of 1.0 m/s^ 2 and after stopping, it accelerates with a rate of 0.50 m/s^ 2. How much time will it have lost by stopping at the station?
A car is traveling at 90 km/h when the driver sees an accident 75 m ahead and slams on the brakes. What minimum constant deceleration (in m/s2) is required to stop the car in time to avoid a multi-car pileup? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
Traveling with an initial speed of 70 kph, a car accelerates at 6000 km/hr2 along a straight road. How long will ittake to reach a speed of 120 kph? Also, through what distance does the car travel during this time?
A spacecraft starts from rest, and makes a journey to a destination 436000 km from its starting point. It does so by accelerating at a constant rate of 19.52 m/s^2 up to the midpoint of the journey, and then decelerates at the same constant rate of 19.52 m/s^2 for the second half of the journey, ending at rest. How long did the entire journey take?
In 1865, Jules Verne proposed sending men to the Moon by firing a space capsule from a 220-m-long cannon with final speed of 10.97 km/s. What would have been the unrealistically large acceleration experienced by the space travelers during their launch? (A human can stand an acceleration of 15g for a short time.) Compare your answer with thr free-fall acceleration, 9.80 m/s^2
In World War II, there were several reported cases of airmen who jumped from their flaming airplanes with no parachute to escape certain death. Some fell about 20,000 feet (6000 m), and some of them survived, with few life-threatening injuries. For these lucky pilots, the tree branches and snow drifts on the ground allowed their deceleration to be relatively small. If we assume that a pilot's speed upon impact was 123 mph (54 m/s), then what was his deceleration? Assume that the trees and snow stopped him over a distance of 3.0 m.
To pass a physical education class at a university, a student must run 1.0 mi in 12 min. After running for 10 min, she still has 500 yd to go. If her maximum acceleration is 0.15 m/s2, can she make it? If the answer is no, determine what acceleration she would need to be successful.
Do highway speed limit signs refer to average speeds or to instantaneous speeds? Explain.
A runner is moving with a speed of 2.68[m/s]. How long will it take the runner to complete a 5.0[km] race? Express your answer in seconds. Ignore the time it takes to reach this speed, and assume the runner is always at this speed.
A hypothetical spaceship takes a straight-line path from the Earth to the moon, a distance of about 400,000 km. Suppose it accelerates at 10.0 m/s2 for the first 20 minutes of the trip, then travels at constant speed until the last 20 minutes, when it accelerates at -10.0 m/s2, just coming to rest as it reaches the moon. What total time in minutes is required for the trip?
