A bus is traveling with a uniform velocity of 20 m/s. At the instant it passes a car at rest, the car starts to accelerate at 4m/s^2 in the same direction as the velocity of the bus. (a) After how many seconds will the car overtake the bus? (b) How far will the car travel before overtaking the bus?

A car is 126 m from a stop sign and traveling toward the sign at 29 m/s. At this time, the driver suddenly realizes that she must stop the car. If it takes 0.200 s for the driver to apply the brakes, what must be the magnitude of the constant acceleration of the car after the brakes are applied so that the car will come to rest at the stop sign?
Most important in an investigation of an airplane crash by the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board is the data stored on the airplane’s flight-data recorder, commonly called the “black box” in spite of its orange coloring and reflective tape.The recorder is engineered to withstand a crash with an average deceleration of magnitude 3450 g during a time interval of 6.49 ms. In such a crash, if the recorder and airplane have zero speed at the end of that time interval, what is their speed at the beginning of the interval?
