A car starts from rest and travels for 10.0 s with a uniform acceleration of +2.0 m/s?. The driver then applies the brakes, causing a uniform acceleration of -1.5 m/s. If the brakes are applied for 1.0 s, determine each of the following. (a) How fast is the car going at the end of the braking period? m/s (b) How far has the car gone?

On July 13, 1977, while on atest drive at Britain’s Silverstone racetrack, the throttle on DavidPurley’s car stuck wide open. The resulting crash subjected Purleyto the greatest “g-force” ever survived by a human—he deceleratedfrom 173 km>h to zero in a distance of only about 0.66 m. Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration experienced by Purley(assuming it to be constant), and express your answer in units ofthe acceleration of gravity, g = 9.81 m>s2.
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
The acceleration of the moving body is a=0.6s . If the initial velocity was 0.90 m/s, determine the velocity after moving 2.0 m.
A car travelling at the speed Vo on a straight level road. After the brakes are applied at t = 0, the motion can be approximated by s = ?^3/100− ?^2 + 17? where s is thedistance traveled in meters and t is the time in seconds. a. gives the value of Vo b. gives the distance required for the car to stop.
With respect to the motion of a car, describe a situation in which the car has zero speed but has a definite acceleration.
A train is travelling at a speed of 90 km h–1. Brakes are applied so as to produce a uniform acceleration of –0.5 m s-2. Find how far the train will go before it is brought to rest.
An adult on a bicycle approaches a stop sign and applies the brakes to slow to a stop. If the bicycle and adult were originally traveling at 7.36 m/s and the brakes cause a deceleration of magnitude 2.79 m/s2, what distance is required for the person to stop the bicycle?
Is it feasible to maintain a constant speed while accelerating? What is this sort of motion called?
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 moving with uniform acceleration covers T 450 meter in first 5 second interval and covers 700 meters in next 5 second interval. The acceleration of the car is
Dr. John Paul Stapp was a U.S. Air Force officer who studied the effects of extreme acceleration on the human body. On December 10, 1954, Stapp rode a rocket sled, accelerating from rest to a top speed of 282 m/s (1015 km/h) in 5.00 s and was brought jarringly back to rest in only 1.40 s. Calculate his (a) acceleration in his direction of motion and (b) acceleration opposite to his direction of motion. Express each in multiples of g (9.80 m/s2) by taking its ratio to the acceleration of gravity.
If a car is traveling with a constant velocity, what can you say about its acceleration?
