A car is traveling at 55 mi/hr when the driver sees a deer in the road 170 feet ahead. The driver applies the brakes fully, producing a constant deceleration of 20 ft/s^2. Does the driver successfully stop before hitting the deer? Explain your answer.
A race driver has made a pit stop to refuel. After refueling, he starts from rest and leaves the pit area with an acceleration whose magnitude is 6.9m/s^2; after 4.5s, he enters the main speedway.

A blue car is moving at a constant speed of 70 m/s when it passes signage with a police officer beside it. Due to the car's over speeding, the police officer chases it with a constant acceleration of 4 m/s2, one second after the car passes the signage. How long does it the police officer to overtake the truck?

A commuter is driving a car along a straight road at a constant speed of 15.5 m/s. Just as she passes a law officer parked along the side of the road, the officer starts to accelerate 3.50 m/s2 to overtake her. Assume that the officer maintains this acceleration. What If? Determine the answers to parts (a) through (c) of the problem, if instead of accelerating at the same instant the car passes him, the officer instead begins his acceleration 1.00 s after the car passes him. (Enter the time in s, speed in m/s, and displacement in m.) time s speed m/s displacement m
