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 skateboarder starts from rest and moves down a hill with constant acceleration in a straight line, traveling for 6 s. In a second trial, he starts from rest and moves along the same straight line with the same acceleration for only 2 s. How does his displacement from his starting point in this second trial compare with that from the first trial? (a) one-third as large (b) three times larger (c) one-ninth as large (d) nine times larger (e) 1/3 times as large
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.
Hannah tests her new sports car by racing with Sam, an experienced racer. Both start from rest, but Hannah leaves the starting line 1.00 s after Sam does. Sam moves with a constant acceleration of 3.50 m/s2, while Hannah maintains an acceleration of 4.90 m/s2. Find (a) the time at which Hannah overtakes Sam, (b) the distance she travels before she catches him, and (c) the speeds of both cars at the instant Hannah overtakes Sam.
As soon as a traffic light turns green, a car speeds up from rest to 50.00 mi/h with constant acceleration 9.00 mi/h/s. In the adjoining bicycle lane, a cyclist speeds up from rest to 20.0 mi/h with constant acceleration of 13.00 mi/h/s. Each vehicle maintains constant velocity after reaching a cruising speed. For what time interval is the bicycle ahead of the car?
A toy train rolling on a straight stretch of tracks, initially going 0.31 m/s slows uniformly to 0.14 m/s in 17 s. It then speeds up with a constant acceleration of magnitude 0.068 m/s2 over a distance of 4.2 m. i) How far does it go in the initial 14 s of slowing down?
A snowboarder on a slope starts from rest and reaches a speed of 1.2 m/s after 6.1 s. What is the magnitude of the snowboarder's average acceleration? How far does the snowboarder travel in this time?
A motorboat starting from rest on a lake accelerates in a straight line at a constant rate of 3.0 m s–2 for 8.0 s. How far does the boat travel during this time?
A train is traveling down a straight track at 20 m/s when the engineer applies the brakes, resulting in an acceleration of −1.0 m/s2 as long as the train is in motion. How far does the train move during a 40-s time interval starting at the instant the brakes are applied?
A driver, driving at a constant speed of 30m/s in a 50 mph zone, is unaware that he is being observed by an approaching police car (coming toward him from the front).
