A train is traveling down a straight track at 32 m/s when the engineer applies the brakes, resulting in an acceleration of −1.0 m/s2 as long as the train is in motion. How far does the train move during a 64-s time interval starting at the instant the brakes are applied in meters?
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 car is travelling at a constant speed of 100 km.hr at the highway when the driver noticed that the bridge 10 m away is cut off. If the driver immediately applied the brakes upon noticing the cut off bridge, what must be his deceleration so he would not fall to the river?
A train is traveling down a straight track at 20 m/s when the engineer applies the brakes, resulting in an acceleration of −1.0 m/s2 as long as the train is in motion. How far does the train move during a 40-s time interval starting at the instant the brakes are applied?
A hockey player is standing on his skates on a frozen pond when an opposing player, moving with a uniform speed of 12 m/s, skates by with the puck. After 3.0s, the first player makes up his mind to chase his opponent. If he accelerates uniformly at 4.0 m/s, how long does it take him to catch his opponent?
If a car were to start at rest and move along a straight road at a constant acceleration reaching a speed of 14 ms-1 in 4 s, the what would be the magnitude of the constant acceleration of the car? And how fast will the car be travelling if it maintains this acceleration over a distance of 140 m from its starting point?
