A car starts from rest and travels for 5.0 s with a uniform accelerationof +1.5 m/s2. The driver then applies the brakes, causinga uniform acceleration of -2.0 m/s2. If the brakes areapplied for 3.0 s, (a) how fast is the car going at the end of thebraking period, and (b) how far has the car gone?

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?
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
If the car in the preceding example continues to accelerate at the same rate for an additional 3.0 s, what will be the magnitude of its velocity in m/s at the end of this time?
Is it possible for velocity to be constant while acceleration is not zero? Explain.
A Lamborghini Aventador travels in a straight line along a road. Its position from a stop sign is given as a function of time by x(t) = at4 − bt6, where a = 4.50 m/s4, and b = 0.0200 m/s6. Determine the instant when the car is at rest again, together with its acceleration at that instant.
If the average velocity of a car is nonzero for some time interval does this mean that the instantaneous velocity is never zero?
A train is travelling down a straight track at 20 m/s when the engineer applies its brakes, resulting in an acceleration of - 1 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 car is 200 m from a stop sign and traveling toward the sign at 40.0 m/s. At this time, the driver suddenly realizes that she must stop the car. If it takes 0.200 s for the driver to apply the brakes, what must be the magnitude of the constant acceleration of the car after the brakes are applied so that the car will come to rest at the stop sign?
ON A CERTAIN DESERT LAND, A HORSE IS RUNNING AT A SPEED OF 60 MPH. HOW FAR BACK OF A STOP WAGON SHOULD A WARNING WHISTLE BE PLACED TO SIGNAL ON THE COMING HORSE? ASSUME THAT THE HORSE START TO SLOW DOWN AT ONCE AND RETARD AT A UNIFORM RATE OF 2 FT PER SEC.
The driver of a 10-wheeler truck slams on the brakes when he witnessed a huge coconut tree blocking the road. This truck slows down uniformly with an acceleration of -5.60m/s^2 for 4.20s, making skid marks 62.4m long that end at the tree. With what speed does the truck then strike the tree?
While driving down a straight road at 70.5 km/h, you pass your physics professor who happens to be out for a jog. He's running at a constant 4.00 m/s, and you decide to slow down and talk physics with him. If you apply your brakes exactly when you pass him on the road, and your car accelerates at 3.58 m/s2 during the breaking, how far do you end up going before he catches up to you?
The initial velocity of a body is 4.60 m/s. What is its velocity after 5.50 s if it (a) accelerates uniformly at 3.00 m/s2; and (b) accelerates uniformly at -3.00 m/s2?
