You fly 5000 km across the United States on an airliner at 250 m/s. You return two days later at the same speed. Have you aged more or less than your friends at home? By how much?
Two cars leave from the same place at the same time and travel in opposite direction. One car travels at 55 mph and the other at 75 mph. After how many hours will there be 520 miles apart?
Miles wants to chase a truck that is going at a speed of 25.0 kph, and thus starts accelerating from rest at 4.00 m/s. Caesar, sensing that Miles wants to steal property, and seeing him when he is 100.0 m away from him, rides a police car and starts accelerating at 10.0 m/s. Once Caesar’s car catches Miles, what is the distance traveled by the truck since Caesar started chasing Miles?
Playing jackstone as a kid, you discovered that there is a certain time before the rubber ball falls and you took advantage of this when picking up the stars on the floor. If you threw the ball 5.39m/s up into the air, how fast will it be moving at a height of 51.96cm? How much time has elapsed upon reaching this height?
Consider a dragster that, when the light turns green, accelerates uniformly from rest and completes a 372 meter race in a time of 6.61 seconds. a) During this period, what is the dragster's acceleration expressed as a multiple of the acceleration due to gravity, g? b) If the dragster could continue with this average acceleration, what would its speed be, in miles per hour, after it has traveled a total distance of 1.6km1.6km, which is approximately one mile?

Sarah is driving her car very smoothly from Austin to Dallas one day. At 6:00 pm she is traveling at 20 mph, while 20 minutes later she is traveling at 40 mph. Calculus tells us that at some time between 6:00 pm and and 6:20 pm, her acceleration is exactly x mph. What is the value of x ?
The Moon is about 3.8 ✕ 108 m from Earth. Traveling at the speed of light, 3.0 ✕ 108 m/s, how long does it take a laser beam to go from Earth to the Moon and back again (in s)? The same physics was responsible for the noticeable delay in communications signals between lunar astronauts and controllers at the Houston Space Flight Center.

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 :(
On two different tracks, the winners of the 1 kilometer race ran their races in 2 min, 27.95 s and 2 min, 28.15 s. In order to conclude that the runner with the shorter time was indeed faster, how much longer can the other track be in actual length?
How do I calculate speed without time?
