A subway train has to travel a distance of 1800 m until it stops at the next station. The train starts from rest and accelerates at a rate of 1.60 m/s2 for 15.0 s. It then runs at a constant speed for some time and finally slows down at a rate of 4.0m/s2 until it stops at the next station. How long did it take to reach the next station?

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 space shuttle is launched from rest. It takes 8.00 s to reach 158 km/h , and at the end of the first 1.00 min its speed is 1580 km/h . Assuming the acceleration is constant during each time interval (but not necessarily the same in both intervals), what distance does the shuttle travel during the interval from 8.00 s to 1.00 min?
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?

A rocket-powered sled moves along a track, eventually reaching a top speed of 174 m/s to the east. It then begins to slow down, reaching a complete stop after slowing down for 1.64 s. What was the sled s average acceleration and velocity during the slowdown phase? 0 m/s^2 0, 87 m/s east 106.1 m/s^2 east, not enough information 87 m/s^2 west, 87 m/s west 106.1 m/s^2 west, not enough information
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 snowboarder starts from rest at the top of a double black diamond hill. As she rides down the slope, GPS coordinates are used to determine her displacement as a function of time: x= 0.5 + t2 + 2t, where x and t are expressed in feet and seconds, respectively. Determine the position, velocity, and acceleration of the boarder when t= 5 seconds.
