A car, on a straight road, is stopppedd at a traffic light. When the light turns to green the car accelerates with a constant acceleration. It reaches a speed of 20.5 m/s (73.8 km/h) in a distance of 145 m. Calculate the acceleration of the car.

Professional baseball player Nolan Ryan could pitch a baseball at approximately 160.0 km/h. At that average velocity, how long did it take a ball thrown by Ryan to reach home plate, which is 18.4 m from the pitcher’s mound? Compare this with the average reaction time of a human to a visual stimulus, which is 0.25 s.
The driver of a car is initially moving at a constant speed of 68.3 km/h when a traffic light turns red. If a 0.525 s reaction time is required before the brakes can be applied, what is the distance in meters traveled by the car before it begins to slow down?

A speeding driver noticed a police car parked about 433 m in from of him on the side of the road and reduced his speed at a constant rate for a duration of 10.7 seconds as he drove past the police car, at the legal speed of 33 m/s. What was the car's acceleration (include a negative sign in your answer)?

A traﬀic patrol helicopter is stationary a quarter of a mile directly above a highway. Its radar detectsa car whose line-of-sight distance from the helicopter is half a mile and is increasing at the rate of 57mph. Is the car exceeding the highway’s speed limit of 60 mph? Justify your answer completely.
A car can be braked to a stop from the autobahn-likespeed of 200 km/h in 170 m. Assuming the acceleration is constant,find its magnitude in (a) SI units and (b) in terms of g. (c) How muchtime Tb is required for the braking? Your reaction time Tr is the timeyou require to perceive an emergency, move your foot to the brake,and begin the braking. If Tr = 400 ms, then (d) what is Tb in terms ofTr, and (e) is most of the full time required to stop spent in reactingor braking? Dark sunglasses delay the visual signals sent from theeyes to the visual cortex in the brain, increasing Tr. (f) In the extremecase in which Tr is increased by 100 ms, how much farther doesthe car travel during your reaction time?
A car starts from rest and moves with constant acceleration. After is has moved 400m, it is traveling at 45 m/s. Calculate (a) the acceleration, (b) the time required to travel the 400 m mentioned.
A dolphin in an aquatic show jumps straight up out of thewater at a velocity of 13.0 m/s. (a) List the knowns in thisproblem. (b) How high does his body rise above the water?To solve this part, first note that the final velocity is now aknown and identify its value. Then identify the unknown, anddiscuss how you chose the appropriate equation to solve forit. After choosing the equation, show your steps in solving forthe unknown, checking units, and discuss whether the answeris reasonable. (c) How long is the dolphin in the air? Neglectany effects due to his size or orientation
