A car starts from rest and travels for 10.0 s with a uniform acceleration of +1.8 m/s The driver then applies the brakes, causing a uniform acceleration of -1.0 m/s. If the brakes are applied for 3.0 s, determine each of the following. (a) How fast is the car going at the end of the braking period? (b) How far has it gone?

A car starts from rest, then accelerates at a constant rate over a distance of 72 m. It then immediately decelerates at a constant rate over a distance of 141 m. The entire trip lasts a total duration of 13.7 s. What were the magnitudes of the car s accelerations for the speedup and slowdown stages respectively?
The brakes of a car whose initial velocity is 30 m/s are applied and then receives an acceleration of -2 m/s˄2. How far will it have gone when its velocity has decreased to 15 m/s?
If the average velocity of a car is nonzero for some time interval does this mean that the instantaneous velocity is never zero?
A bungee jumper attains a speed of 30 m/s just as the bungee cord begins to stretch. If the period of stretch is 2 s while coming to a halt, what is the jumpers average deceleration?
The driver of a car slams on the brakes when he sees a tree blocking the road. The car slows uniformly with an acceleration of 5.60 m/s2 for 4.20 s, making straight skid marks 62.4 m long, all the way to the tree. With what speed does the car then strike the tree?
A car starts from rest and travels for 5.0 seconds with a uniform acceleration of positive 1.5 m/s squared. The driver then applies the brakes, causing a uniform acceleration of -2.0 m/s squared. If the brakes are applied for three seconds how fast is the car going at the end of the breaking, and how far has the car gone
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?
If a car is traveling with a constant velocity, what can you say about its acceleration?
. An airplane has an average acceleration of 2.19 m>s2 during takeoff. If the airplanestarts at rest, how much time does it take for it to reach a speed of 174 mi>h?
Assume that the brakes in your car create a constant deceleration,regardless of how fast you are going. If you double your drivingspeed, how does this affect (a) the time required to come to a stop,and (b) the distance needed to stop?
The driver of a car traveling at 110km/h slams on the brakes so that the car undergoes a constant acceleration, skidding to a complete stop at 4.5s . What is the average acceleration of the car during braking?
If a body starts from a standstill and proceeds to move with constant acceleration, how is the distance traveled in a given time period related to this acceleration ?
