At a parking garage, a motorcycle waits at rest. 8 minutes later, the driver notices a car passes with a constant speed of 38.38mph. If the driver wishes to overtake the car, how long will it take him to overtake, given that his acceleration is 4.20 m/s^2.

A person takes a trip, driving with a constant speed of 89.5 km/h, except for a 22 minute rest stop. If the persons average speed is 77.8 km/h how much time is spent on the trip and what distance did they travel?
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?
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 car slows down (or speeds up) from a speed of 49 m/s to a speed of 15.1 m/s over a distance of 546 m. How long does this take, assuming constant acceleration?
Angelito is driving at 6 m/s when a traffic enforcer signals that he should speed up. He then steps on the gas pedal and accelerated uniformly to a speed of 15 m/s in 4.5 s. Find the total distance Angelito traveled. Assume Angelito's reaction time is 0.15 s.
One simple model for a person running the 100 m dash is to assume the sprinter runs with constant acceleration until reaching top speed, then maintains that speed through the finish line. If a sprinter reaches his top speed of 11.5 m/s in 2.24 s , what will be his total time? Express your answer in seconds.
