Ben Rushin is waiting at a stoplight. When it finally turns green, Ben accelerated from rest at a rate of a 6 m/s^2 for a time of 4.10 seconds. Determine the displacement of Ben's car during this time period. What variable is being described by "from rest"? Acceleration, displacement, final velocity, initial velocity, or time

A person walks first at a constant speed of 5.00 m/s along a straight line from point to point and then back along the line from to at a constant speed of 3.00 m/s. (a) What is her average speed over the entire trip? (b) What is her average velocity over the entire trip?
A car, moving to the left in a straight line in the negative x-direction, travels a distance d = 32 m during time interval Δt = 18 s. In this case, must there be an instant at which the speed of the car is equal to its average speed? Explain answer.
A speeder travelling at a constant velocity of 40 m/s passes by a police car that is initially at rest. Soon afterwards, the police officer starts moving towards the speeder with an uniform acceleration of 5.33 m/s2. How long does it take, in seconds, for the police officer to catch the speeder?
You are waiting at a stoplight. When it finally turns green, you accelerate from rest at a rate of 6.00 m/s^2 for a time of 4.10 seconds. Determine the displacement of your car during this time period. [Please use the following; T = time Δ x = displacement V i = initial velocity V f = final velocity a = acceleration]
Suppose s1t2 is the position of an object moving along a line at time t Ú 0. Describe a process for finding the instantaneous velocity at t = a.
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
Two cars start from the same point in the same direction, but in the opposite direction. One starts to the right with a speed V1 = 7m / s and the other to the left with speed V2 = 9m / s. The latter, after advancing a distance d = 5m, turns sharply 360º and begins to chase the first car. Decide: a) At the end of what time it reaches it. b) How far from the starting point you can reach. c) The graph of the position as a function of time for both cars.
A man runs at a constant 4m/s for 40s and then runs @ 8m/s back to his starting position. A. Total time of run ? B. Total distance covered? C. Avg speed D. Displacement at end of trip ? E. Avg. Velocity and direction if any ? How do you solve this ? Thank you
A race car travels northward on a straight, level track at a constant speed, traveling 0.587 km in 13.1 sec. The return trip over the same track is made in 27.3 sec.(a) What is the average velocity of the car for the FIRST leg of the trip?(b) What is the average velocity of the car for the SECOND leg of the trip?(c) What is the average velocity of the car for the WHOLE trip?
A driver is traveling 18.0 m/s when she sees a red light ahead. Her car is capable of decelerating at a rate of 3.40 m/s^2 A.) If it takes her 0.420 s to get the brakes on and she is 20.0 m from the intersection when she sees the light, will she be able to stop in time? Answer: No B.)How far from the beginning of the intersection will she be? I know the answer is not 47.64 or 10.21. Please HELP solve for B!
