An express train passes through a station. It enters with an initial velocity of 22.0 m/s and decelerates at a rate of 0.150 m/s2 as it goes through. The station is 210.0 m long. (a) How fast is it going when the nose leaves the station? (b) How long is the nose of the train in the station? (c) If the train is 130 m long, what is the velocity of the end of the train as it leaves? (d) When does the end of the train leave the station?

Two trains travel in the opposite direction, leaving each of the opposite stations which call station A and station B. The train A departs at a constant speed of 150[km/h], while the train B leaves from rest with constant acceleration of 1,5[m/s]. HOW far and at what time do the two trenes intersect? Consider that the two stations are separated by a distance of 10[km].
A hockey player is standing on his skates on a frozen pond when an opposing player, moving with a uniform speed of 12 m/s, skates by with the puck. After 3.0s, the first player makes up his mind to chase his opponent. If he accelerates uniformly at 4.0 m/s, how long does it take him to catch his opponent?
A typical jetliner lands at a speed of 160 mi/h and decelerates at the rate of (10.0 mi/h)/s. If the plane travels at a constant speed of 160 mi/h for 1.00 s after landing before applying the brakes, what is the total displacement of the aircraft between touchdown on the runway and coming to rest?
