A skier left a mountain 40 m long in 10 s, after which he rode along a horizontal platform to a stop of 20 m. Determine the speed of the skier at the end of the mountain, the average speed along the path, the acceleration in each of the sections, the time of movement on a horizontal platform.

A commuter train travels between two downtown stations. Because the stations are only 1.00 km apart, the train never reaches its maximum possible cruising speed. During rush hour the engineer minimizes the time interval t between two stations by accelerating at a rate a1 = 0.100 m/s2 for a time interval t1 and then immediately braking with acceleration a2 = 0.500 m/s2 for a time interval t2. Find the minimum time interval of travel t and the time interval t1.
A particle moves along the x axis. Its position is given by the equation x = 2 + 3t 4t2, with x in meters and t in seconds. Determine (a) its position when it changes direction and (b) its velocity when it returns to the position it had at t = 0.
A blue car of length 4.52 m is moving north on a roadway (hat intersects another perpendicular roadway (Fig. P2.81, page 58). The width of the intersection from near edge to far edge is 28.0 m. The blue car has a constant acceleration of magnitude 2.10 m/s2 directed south. The time interval required for the nose of the blue car to move from the near (south) edge of the intersection to the north edge of the intersection is 3.10 s. (a) How far is the nose of the blue car from the south edge of the intersection when it stops? (b) For what time interval is any part of the blue car within the boundaries of the intersection? (c) A red car is at rest on the perpendicular intersecting roadway. As the nose of the blue car enters the intersection, the red car starts from rest and accelerates east at 5.60 m/s2. What is the minimum distance from the near (west) edge of the intersection at which the nose of the red car can begin its motion if it is to enter the intersection alter the blue car has entirely left the intersection? (d) II the red car begins its motion at the position given by the answer to pan (c), with what speed does it enter the intersection?
An atom is constrained to move along the horizontal axis only. At time t = 0.5 s, the atom is at x = 0.06 m. At time t = 2.8 s, the atom is at x = 0.46 m. What is the atom's average velocity?
A juggler throws a bowling pin straight up with an initial speed of 3.2 m/s from an initial height of 1.9 m. How much time elapses until the bowling pin returns to the same initial height?
A runner with a good awareness of her pace runs along a path of unknown length at a speed of 0.275 mi/min and then walks back to her starting point at a speed of 0.0500 mi/min. She neglects to note her time for each part of her path, but does measure the total round trip time to be 60.0 min. How far did she run? Do not include the walking distance
Accelerating uniformly at 2.4 m/s2, an object starts with an initial velocity v = 2 m/s to a final velocity of 8 m/s, traveling along the same direction. How far will the object travel during this time?
