A cyclist is moving along a straight road with constant acceleration. She first passes a shop and 10 seconds later, travelling at 8 ms, she passes a street sign. The distance between the shop and the street sign is 60 m. Find a the acceleration of the cyclist, b the speed with which she passed the shop.

A UCI student is running at her top speed of 5.1 m/s to catch a Shuttle bus, which is stopped at the bus stop. When the student is still a distance 42.0 m from the Shuttle bus, it starts to pull away, moving with a constant acceleration of 0.163 m/s2 .For how much time does the student have to run at 5.1 m/s before she overtakes the bus?
A motorcycle that is slowing down uniformly covers 2.0 successive km in 80 s and 120 s, respectively. Calculate (a) the acceleration of the motorcycle and (b) its velocity at the beginning and end of the 2-km trip.
A steam catapult launches a jet aircraft from the aircraft carrier John C. Stennis, giving it a speed of 175 mi/h in 2.50 s. (a) Find the average acceleration of the plane. (b) Modeling the acceleration as constant, find the distance the plane moves in this time interval.
Colonel John P. Stapp, USAF, participated in studying whether a jet pilot could survive emergency ejection. On March 19, 1954, he rode a rocket-propelled sled that moved down a track at a speed of 632 mi/h. He and the sled were safely brought to rest in 1.40 s (Fig. P2.41). Determine (a) the negative acceleration he experienced and (b) the distance he traveled during this negative acceleration.
A car with initial velocity 7.2 m/s undergoes a constant acceleration. What is the acceleration (in m/s2 ) if the velocity of the car is 9.5 m/s 6 seconds later? Make sure to include a minus sign, if appropriate.
The position of an object is given as a function of time by :x = 15 + 4t - 2t^3, where x is in kilometres and t is in hours. According tothis equation,a) what is the object’s starting point?b) what is the average acceleration during the interval from t = 1.0 hto t = 2.0 h?c) what is the acceleration at t=2.0 h?

A hockey player is standing on his skates on a frozen pondwhen an opposing player, moving with a uniform speed of 12m/s, skates by with the puck. After 3.0 s, the first player makesup his mind to chase his opponent. If he accelerates uniformlyat 4.0 m/s2, (a) how long does it take him to catch his opponent,and (b) how far has he traveled in that time? (Assumethe player with the puck remains in motion at constant speed.)
A car driving on a straight track accelerates at a rate of 3.2 m/s^2 for 4 secs. If the initial velocity of the car was 5.1 m/s, and initial position was 0 m, what's the final velocity?
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?
If it takes a bicyclist 20 seconds to reach a speed of10 mph from rest, what is her acceleration? For thenext 10 minutes, she moves at the constant speed of10 mph, and at this time, she applies her brakes, andthe bicycle decelerates to a full stop in 4 seconds. Whatis the total distance traveled by the bicyclist? Determine the average speed of the cyclist during the first20 seconds, 620 seconds, and 624 seconds.
