A car starts from rest and travels for 5.0s with a uniformacceleration of 1.5m/s2. The driver then applies thebrakes, causing a uniform acceleration of -2.0m/s2. Ifthe brakes are applied for 3.0s, (a) how fast is the car going atthe end of the braking period, and (b) how far has the cargone?

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?
A baseball is hit with a bat and, as a result, its direction is completely reversed and its speed is doubled. If the actual contact with the bat lasts 0.24s what is the ratio of the acceleration to the original velocity?
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?
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?
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?
In getting ready to slam dunk the ball, a basketball player starts from rest and sprints to a speed of 5.90m/s in 1.17s. Assuming that the player accelerates uniformly, determine the distance he runs.
The head of a rattlesnake can accelerate at 50 m/s2 in striking a victim. If a car could do as well, how long would it take to reach a speed of 100 km/h from rest?
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?
a parachutist opens his chute at time t=0, while falling vertically at a speed of 50.0 m/s. From the combined effects of gravity and air resistance, he is subject to anupward acceleration of ay= (40/T)e-t/T where T=6.8s. Find the parachutist's speed 10s after the chute is opened and the distance fallen during that period of time.
And object has an initial velocity of 15 m/s in a constant acceleration of 4 m/s squared. How long will it take before it's final velocity is equal to three times its initial velocity?
