Cynthia competes in luge competitions during the winter months. She rides solo on a small sled 3 inches off the ground down icy slopes, turning only by use of her feet and the shifting of her weight on the sled. During the initial stage of one downhill luge, Cynthia accelerated from rest at 6.84 m/s/s for 2.39 seconds. Determine the distance she moved during this acceleration phase.

A cyclist is initially at rest at the origin. At t=0 she starts to accelerate at a constant rate, along a straight road reaching a velocity of 4.00 m/s after 12.0 seconds. 12.0 seconds after starting a prairie dog runs across her path and the cyclist hits the brakes, producing a new constant acceleration. 13.0 seconds after starting, the cyclist has a velocity of 1.50 m/s . What is the acceleration, a1a1, of the cyclist in the first part of the motion, between t = 0 and 12s? What is the acceleration of the cyclist, a_2 , in the second part of the motion between t = 12 and 13s? What is her average acceleration in this 13-s interval? What is the position of the cyclist at 13s, x_13?
A car that moves in a linear motion starts to move with an acceleration of 5.6 m / s2, which smoothly drops to zero within 17 seconds while at rest, and continues to move at a constant speed at the end of 17 seconds. How long it takes while the distance is 451 m that has been traveled from the beginning?
A spring gun launches a heavy steel marble with an initial speed of 19.6 m/s. How long will the steel marble be in the air? a. 6.0 s b. 2.0 s c. 3.0 s d. 5.0 s e. 4.0 s
A race car starts from rest and travels east along a straight and level track. For the first 5.0 s of the car's motion, the eastward component of the car's velocity is given by υx(t)=(0.920m/s^3)t^2 What is the acceleration of the car when υx = 12.8 m/s ? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
What is the magnitude of the average acceleration of a skier who, starting from rest, reaches a speed of 5.27 m/s when going down a slope for 1.14 s? How far does the skier travel in this time? (The absolute tolerance is + or - 0.1)

A biologist studying the motion of bacteria notes a bacterium at position r 1=2.2i + 3.7j − 1.2k μm (1μm = 10-6). After 7.2 seconds the bacterium is at r2 = 4.6i + 1.9k μm. Given that the acerage velocity is equal to 0.33i - 0.51j + 0.42k. Calculate the magnitude of the average velocity.
A rescue helicopter is hovering over a person whose sailboat has capsized. One of the rescuers tosses a life preserver straight down to the person with an initial speed of 1.25 m/s and observes that it takes 1.75 s to reach the water. How high above the water was the preserver released? Note that the downdraft of the helicopter reduces the effect of air resistance on the falling life preserver, so that an acceleration equal to that due to gravity is reasonable.
