A car starts from rest and travels for 5.5 s with a uniform acceleration of +1.8 m/s2. The driver then applies the brakes, causing a uniform acceleration of −1.5 m/s2. 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?

A car is 126 m from a stop sign and traveling toward the sign at 29 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?

A man drives a car at v1= 54mi/h and suddenly notices a truck at a distance d= 13.5 m in front of him. That truck is moving in the same direction at a constant velocity v2= 34 mi/h. In order to not collide the person in the car must reduce their speed to v2 in a time interval, by slamming the brakes. the driver can give the car a maximum acceleration of ax. assume the acceleration is constant and the motion is in the positive direction. so that ax<0. 1) if the driver just barely avoids collision what is the final distance between the car and the truck? 2) write an expression for the distance Δx2 traveled by the truck in the time Δt, in terms of the quantities defined in the problem. 3) write an expression for the distance Δx1 traveled by the car in the time Δt, assuming the driver brakes as hard as they can. 4)Relate the total distance the car travels Δx1 to the distance the truck travels and the initial distance between them. 5)Find the acceleration of the car in terms of its…
