A car starts from rest and accelerates to a speed of "a" mph in "c" seconds. The acceleration during this period is constant. For the next "d" minutes the car moves with the constant speed of "a" mph. At this time, the car decelerates to a speed of "b" mph in "e" seconds. Then for the next "f" minutes the car moves with a constant speed of "b" mph. At this time the driver of the car applies the brake and the car decelerates to a full stop in "g" seconds. The variation of the speed of the car with time is shown in the accompanying diagram. Determine the total distance (miles) traveled by the car and the average speed (kph) of the car over this distance. a = 50 mph b = 30 mph 30 seconds d = 30 minutes e = 20 seconds 25 minutes f3= 10 seconds

During a race, you are running at a speed of 4.50 m/s. You want to pass a slowerrunner, so you increase your speed steadily (that is, with constant acceleration) to5.75 m/s over a time period of 3.00 s. What was your acceleration over this timeperiod, and what distance did you travel between when you started and ended theacceleration?

Starting from rest, a bus leaves a gas station with a constant acceleration of 2 m/s˄2 until it reaches a speed of 10 m/s. The bus then continues to move with this speed (10 m/s) for 5 s. Then the bus decelerates at 2.5 m/s˄2 until it stops. What is the total distance traveled by the bus?
A drag car starts from rest and moves down the racetrack with an acceleration defined by a= 50 - 10t, where a and t are in m/s2 and seconds, respectively.
