An engineer in a locomotive sees a car stuck on a track at a railroad crossing in front of the train. When the engineer first sees the car, the locomotive is 310m from the crossing and its speed is 10m/s. If the engineer's creation time is 0.39s, what should be the magnitude of the minimum deceleration to avoid an accident in m/s2

On a one lane road, a person driving a car at v1 = 54 mi/h suddenly notices a truck 0.65 mi in front of him. That truck is moving in the same direction at v2 = 35 mi/h. In order to avoid a collision, the person has to reduce the speed of his car tov2 during time interval Δt. The smallest magnitude of acceleration required for the car to avoid a collision is a.

A Boeing 747 "Jumbo Jet" has a length of 64.5 m. The runway on which the plane lands intersects another runway. The width of the intersection is 24.8 m. The plane decelerates through the intersection at a rate of 5.56 m/s2 and clears it with a final speed of 43.1 m/s. How much time is needed for the plane to clear the intersection?
A train makes a round trip on a straight, level track. The first half of the trip is 300km and is traveled at a speed of 75 km/m. After a 0.50 h layover, the train returns the 300km at the speed of 85 km/h. What is the train’s (a) average speed and (b) average velocity?
A Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II jet takes off from an aircraft carrier with a runway length of 97 m and a takeoff speed 72 m/s at the end of the runway. Jets are catapulted into airspace from the deck of an aircraft carrier with two sources of propulsion: the jet propulsion and the catapult. At the point of leaving the deck of the aircraft carrier, the F-35's acceleration decreases to a constant acceleration of 4.3 m/s2 at 33° with respect to the horizontal.
