Starting from rest, a bus leaves a gas station with a constant acceleration of 2 m/s˄2 until it reaches a speed of 10 m/s. The bus then continues to move with this speed (10 m/s) for 5 s. Then the bus decelerates at 2.5 m/s˄2 until it stops. What is the total distance traveled by the bus? (Answer: 95 m)
A car enters the freeway with a speed of 8 m/s and accelerates uniformly for 3.5 km in 2.5 min. How fast is the car moving after this time?
An unidentified flying object (UFO) is observed to travel a total distance of 42000 m, starting and ending at rest, over a duration of 2.07 s. Assuming the UFO accelerated at a constant rate to the midpoint of its journey and then decelerated at a constant rate the rest of the way, what was the magnitude of its acceleration? Express your answer in g s , where 1 g = 9.81 m/s^2. 39,207 g s 19,604 g s 3,997 g s 1,998 g s
The cheetah is considered the fastest running animal in the world. Cheetahs can accelerate to a speed of 21.8 m/s in 2.50 s and can continue to accelerate to reach a top speed of 28.8 m/s. Assume the acceleration is constant until the top speed is reached and is zero thereafter. 1) Express the cheetah's top speed in mi/h. (Express your answer to three significant figures.) answer: 64.2 2) Starting from a crouched position, how long does it take a cheetah to reach its top speed? (Express your answer to three significant figures.) answer: 3.31 3) How far does it travel in that time? (Express your answer to three significant figures.) answer: 47.5 4) If a cheetah sees a rabbit 120 m away, how long will it take to reach the rabbit, assuming the rabbit does not move? (Express your answer to three significant figures.) answer: ? tried 5.25 and 5.26 but does not work

The polar bear is an excellent swimmer, and it spends a large part of its time in the water. Suppose a polar bear wants to swim from an ice floe to a particular point on the shore. The bear dives into the water and begins swimming. As the bear swims, it tires and slows at a rate of 0.0122 m/s/s. By the time it reaches the shore, which is 40.1 m from where it dove into the water, its velocity is 2.13 m/s. How fast was the bear swimming when it first got into the water? ____________m/s

A speedboat has a velocity of 48 kph as it comes out of a turn. It accelerates at the rate of 0.3 m/sec^2 for the first ½ km of the straightway and then maintains this final velocity for the next ½ km. How long did it take to cover the km?
Two cars leave an intersection, one 17 minutes after the other. The first car, A, travels north at the speed of 50 km/h and the second car, B, travels west at a speed of 70 km/h. How fast are the cars separating from each other 55 minutes after the first car leaves the intersection? the answer is 85, but I am struggling on how to find that answer
