I| You're driving down the highway late one night at 20 m/s when a deer steps onto the road 35 m in front of you. Your reac- tion time before stepping on the brakes is 0.50 s, and the maxi- mum deceleration of your car is 10 m/s². a. How much distance is between you and the deer when you come to a stop? b. What is the maximum speed you could have and still not hit the deer?

(II) 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 3.65 m/s2 If it takes her 0.350 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? How far from the beginning of the intersection will she be, and in what direction?
1. Near the end of a marathon race, the first two runners are separated by a distance of 45.0 m. The front runner has a velocity of 3.50 m/s, and the second a velocity of 4.25 m/s. (a) What is the velocity (in m/s) of the second runner relative to the first? m/s faster than the front runner (b) If the front runner is 250 m from the finish line, who will win the race, assuming they run at constant velocity? The first runner will win.The second runner will win. (c) What distance (in m) ahead will the winner be when she crosses the finish line? 2. A woman starts to swim directly across a 5.6-km-wide river. Her speed with respect to the water is 1.3 m/s. The river current carries the woman downstream at a speed of 0.91 m/s. (a) How much time, in seconds, does it take her to cross the river? (b) How far downstream, in meters, will the river carry her by the time she reaches the other side of the river?

5. A. How long does it take Viserion with his Queen Danaerys to take off if it needs toreach a speed on the ground of 350 km/h over a distance of 600m. (assume Viserionwith Queen Danaerys starts from rest)? B. What is the acceleration of Viserion with Queen Danaerys after 600m?
While driving down a straight road at 70.5 km/h, you pass your physics professor who happens to be out for a jog. He's running at a constant 4.00 m/s, and you decide to slow down and talk physics with him. If you apply your brakes exactly when you pass him on the road, and your car accelerates at 3.58 m/s2 during the breaking, how far do you end up going before he catches up to you?
On dry concrete, a car can decelerate at a rate of 7.00 m/s2, whereas on wet concrete it can decelerate at only5.00 m/s2. Find the distances necessary to stop a car moving at 30.0 m/s (about 110 km/h) (a) on dry concrete and (b) onwet concrete. (c) Repeat both calculations, finding the displacement from the point where the driver sees a traffic light turnred, taking into account his reaction time of 0.500 s to get his foot on the brake.
