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 what distance does the student have to run at 5.1 m/s before she overtakes the bus?

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?
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 bullet is fired straight up in the air at an initial speed of 245 m/s. After how much time is the bullet at a height of 10.1 X 10^2 m and heading down?
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 car that moves in a linear motion starts to move with an acceleration of 5.6 m / s2, which smoothly drops to zero within 17 seconds while at rest, and continues to move at a constant speed at the end of 17 seconds. How long it takes while the distance is 451 m that has been traveled from the beginning?
A jogger jogs from one end to the other of a straight track in 1.03 min and then back to the starting point in 1.44 min. What is the jogger's average speed at the following points? (Assume the track is 100 m long.) (a) in jogging to the far end of the track m/s (b) coming back to the starting point m/s (c) for the total jog m/s
A sperm whale can accelerate at about 0.140 m/s^2 when swimming on the surface of the ocean. How far will it travel if it starts at a speed of 1.20 m/s and accelerates to a speed of 2.5 m/s? Assume the whale travels in a straight line.

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
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.
The driver of a car slams on the brakes when he sees a tree blocking the road. The car slows uniformly with an acceleration of 5.60 m/s2 for 4.20 s, making straight skid marks 62.4 m long, all the way to the tree. With what speed does the car then strike the tree?
An ambulance driver is rushing a patient to the hospital. While traveling at 72 km/h, she notices the traffic light at the upcoming intersections has turned yellow. To reach the intersection before the light turns red, she must travel 52 m in 2.17 s. What minimum acceleration must the ambulance have to reach the intersection before the light turns red?
