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
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 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.

Part A: What is the truck's average velocity in the horizontal direction, in meters per second, during the t1 time period? Part B: Assuming the truck started from rest and moved with a constant acceleration, what was the acceleration, in meters per suqared second, during the time interval t1? Part C: What was the truck's instananeous velocity in the horizontal direction, in meters per second, when it began braking? And using the result from the previous answer, what was the truck's horizontal component of acceleration, in meters per squared second, during the braking period? Please explain how you got your answer in detail.
