Liz rushes down onto a subway platform to find her train already departing. She stops and watches the cars go by. Each car is 8.60 m long. The first moves past her in 1.50 s and the second in 1.10 s. Find the constant acceleration of the train.
A mountain biker cycling a trail traveling at 5.4 m/s begins to slow down when she notices a wooden bridge ahead has flooded. If she begins braking when she is 15.0 m from the bridge and comes to a stop just before reaching the bridge, how long did it take her to stop?
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?
An accomplished physical therapist stays in shape for her job by running on a track. She passes one marker running at 1.0 m/s, and continues to accelerate at 0.5 m/s2 for another 3.1 seconds. How far from the first marker did she run in that time?
In outer space, a rocket ship starts from rest and moves in a straight line with a constant acceleration of 100 m/s2 for 5 seconds. It then contniues with zero acceleration for 5 more seconds. How far does it travel in these 10 seconds?
One of the fastest street legal cars, the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, starts from rest and reaches a speed of 55.4 mi/h in 3.7 s. What is its acceleration in m/s2?
A VW Beetle goes from 0 to 58.0 mi/h with an acceleration of +2.35m/s^2. How much time does it take care for the Beetle to reach this speed? A top-fuel dragster can go from 0 to 58.0mi/h in 0.700s. Find the acceleration (in m/s^2) of the dragster.
The leader of a bicycle race is traveling with a constant velocity of +11.10 m/s and is10.0 m ahead of the second-place cyclist. The second-place cyclist has a velocity of+9.50 m/s and an acceleration of +1.20 m/s^2. How much time elapses before he catchesthe leader?
A student is running at her top speed of5.0 m/s to catch a bus, which is stopped at the bus stop. When the studentis still 40.0 m from the bus, it starts to pull away, moving with aconstant acceleration of 0.170 m/s2. For how much time and what distance does the student have to run at 5.0 m/s before she overtakes the bus?
A cheetah is hunting. Its prey runs for 3.50 s at a constant velocity of +7.50m/s. Starting from rest, what constant acceleration must the cheetah maintain in order to run the same distance as its prey runs in the same time?
A drag racer crosses the finish line, and the driver deploys a parachute and applies the breaks to slow down. The driver begins slowing down at 6 seconds and the velocity becomes 28m/s. When the time changes to 12 second, the velocity has been reduced to 12.5 m/s. What is the average acceleration of the dragster?
A speeder travelling at a constant velocity of 40 m/s passes by a police car that is initially at rest. Soon afterwards, the police officer starts moving towards the speeder with an uniform acceleration of 5.33 m/s2. How long does it take, in seconds, for the police officer to catch the speeder?
