A driver is traveling at 48 kph and accelerates uniformly until it doubles it speed over a distance of 168 m. Determine the following: a) the acceleration in m/s? of the car (report the final answer in 3 significant digits) b) the time in s required for the car to reached the velocity of 96 kph (report the final answer in 3 significant digits)

A car takes 5.0 s to go from v=0 m/s to v=24 m/s at constant acceleration. If you wish to find the disance traveled using the equation d=1/2at squared, what value should you use for a? Express your answer to two significant figures and includ the appropraite units.
The world record for the hundred meter dash is 9.58 s.What is the corresponding average speed in units of m/s,km/h,ft/s,and mi/h? At this speed, how long would it take to run 1.00 x 102 yards?
The approximate distance d (in feet) that drivers travel afternoticing that they must come to a sudden stop is given by thefollowing formula, where x is the speed of the car (in mi/h):d  x  x220If a car travels 75 ft before stopping, what was its speedbefore the brakes were applied?
A car going initially 60 mi/hr hits the brakes and skids to a stop in 4 seconds. What isthe acceleration in mi/hr/sec? What is the total distance covered by the car during itsdeceleration?
Jane is driving down the road at 20.0 m/s looking for a house address. when she sees the house, she slams on her brakes. If her reaction time is 1.20s and her car deaccelerates at 3.50 m/s^2, how far past the point where she first saw the house did her car come to rest? I feel like I need to use one of the 4 kinematics equations, but none seem to be giving me the correct answer when I plug in my numbers :(
If it usually takes you three hours to arrive to Aqaba (from Amman) using a passenger car with amax. Speed of 100km/hr, estimate the time you need to reach to the same point if you own thisvehicle
The height of a cannonball, h, in meters, over time, t, in seconds, as it is shot off a platform can be modelledby the equation ℎ = −4(t + 2)(t − 8). a) How long did it take the cannonball to reach the ground?
Sleds propelled by rockets are used to study how humans react to sudden acceleration. If a rocket-powered sled accelerates to a speed of 442.82 m/s in 1.71 seconds, what is the sled's acceleration (measured in meters per second squared)? Only the final answer, stated to three decimal places, should be rounded off.
In problem 11, if the dragstrip is ¼ mile, or 402.3 meters long, at the acceleration of 24.1 m/s2, what is the time that thedragster records for his or her quarter mile run to two decimal places assuming uniform acceleration during the entirelength of the track? What was the dragster’s final velocity in miles per hour (two decimal places) when it crossed thefinish line and deployed its parachute?
Using the equation ??2 =???2 +2??(?−??) where a car is moving at an initial speed of 22 m/s slams on the breaks, traveling a distance of 45.6 m before coming to rest. Solving for the acceleration, how many significant figures would it accurately have?
