If a driver is initially going 35.5m/s to the left and then slams on the brakes to accelerate at a magnitude of 3.8m/s/s until she comes to a complete stop. If she started applying her brakes at a position of 102m from zero, then where is her final position from zero?

A car travels in the +x-direction on a straight and levelroad. For the first 4.00 s of its motion, the average velocity of thecar is vav-x = 6.25 m/s. How far does the car travel in 4.00 s?
An unsuspecting bird is coasting along in an easterly direction at 4.00 mph when a strong wind from the south imparts a constant acceleration of 0.200 m/s2 . If the wind's acceleration lasts for 3.10 s , find the magnitude ?r and direction ?θ (measured counterclockwise from the easterly direction) of the bird's displacement over this time interval. Assume that the bird is originally travelling in the +?+x direction and that there are 1609 m in 1 mi . ?= ? ?= ? Now, assume the same bird is moving along again at 4.00 mph in an easterly direction, but this time, the acceleration given by the wind is at a ϕ=39.0° angle to the original direction of motion, measured counterclockwise from the easterly direction. If the magnitude of the acceleration is 0.500 m/s2 , find the displacement vector ?⃗ r→ and the angle of the displacement ?1θ1 . Enter the components of the vector, ??rx and ??ry , and the angle. Assume the time interval is still 3.10 s . ?⃗ =???̂ +???̂

A particle travels, to the right, at a constant rate, of 6.5m/s. It, suddenly, is given a vertical acceleration of 3.2m/s22, for 3.9s. What is its direction of travel, after the acceleration, with respect to the horizontal? Answer between -180 and +180. What is the speed at this time? Answer in units of m/s.
