Many problems in Physics use subscripts to identify quantities. For example, many of the problems that will be considered have an 'initial' and 'final' situation. For example, "the final velocity of an object is equal to the initial velocity plus the acceleration multiplied by time." Mathematically, this is written as: vf = v; + at. There are two velocities in this equation, but the subscripts i' and 'f' indicate that they are separate %3D variables. Furthermore, the 'signs' of the variables must be consistent. And although it isn't always possible, the variable letters try to reflect the quantities they represent (v for velocity, t for time, a for acceleration, etc.). What is the final velocity of a car starting from rest with a = 1.9 and t = 4 s? Round your answer to the tenths place.

If a drag racing motorcyclist has an initial speed of 10 m/s, and then he/she accelerates for 15 seconds at 15 m/s2, what is the velocity after 15 seconds? (do not include units in answer)
While running a marathon, a long-distance runner uses a stopwatch to time herself over a distance of 100 m. She finds that she runs this distance in 18 s. Answer the following by considering ratios, without computing her velocity. a. If she maintains her speed, how much time will it take her to run the next 400 m?
My pug/bulldog mix, Georgia, who is blind and deaf, gets a whiff of her dinner. As soon as it registers to her that it's dinnertime, she runs 4.12 meters from the middle of our living room to our kitchen, where she is satiated with her grub. If it takes her 4.45 s to get to the kitchen, what was her speed in m/s to the nearest hundredth?
The approximate distance d (in feet) that drivers travel afternoticing that they must come to a sudden stop is given by thefollowing formula, where x is the speed of the car (in mi/h):d  x  x220If a car travels 75 ft before stopping, what was its speedbefore the brakes were applied?
The displacement of an object moving under uniform accelerationis some function of time and the acceleration. Supposewe write this displacement as s = kamtn, where k is adimensionless constant. Show by dimensional analysis that thisexpression is satisfied if m = 1 and n = 2. Can the analysis givethe value of k?
A car can be braked to a stop from the autobahn-likespeed of 200 km/h in 170 m. Assuming the acceleration is constant,find its magnitude in (a) SI units and (b) in terms of g. (c) How muchtime Tb is required for the braking? Your reaction time Tr is the timeyou require to perceive an emergency, move your foot to the brake,and begin the braking. If Tr = 400 ms, then (d) what is Tb in terms ofTr, and (e) is most of the full time required to stop spent in reactingor braking? Dark sunglasses delay the visual signals sent from theeyes to the visual cortex in the brain, increasing Tr. (f) In the extremecase in which Tr is increased by 100 ms, how much farther doesthe car travel during your reaction time?
Jane is driving down the road at 20.0 m/s looking for a house address. when she sees the house, she slams on her brakes. If her reaction time is 1.20s and her car deaccelerates at 3.50 m/s^2, how far past the point where she first saw the house did her car come to rest? I feel like I need to use one of the 4 kinematics equations, but none seem to be giving me the correct answer when I plug in my numbers :(
An object's velocity as a function of time in one dimension is given by the expression; v(t) = 2.71t + 7.88 where are constants have proper SI Units. What is the object's velocity at t = 4.19 s?
Professional baseball player Nolan Ryan could pitch a baseball at approximately 160.0 km/h. At that average velocity, how long did it take a ball thrown by Ryan to reach home plate, which is 18.4 m from the pitcher’s mound? Compare this with the average reaction time of a human to a visual stimulus, which is 0.25 s.
In World War II, there were several reported cases of airmen who jumped from their flaming airplanes with no parachute to escape certain death. Some fell about 20,000 feet (6000 m), and some of them survived, with few life-threatening injuries. For these lucky pilots, the tree branches and snow drifts on the ground allowed their deceleration to be relatively small. If we assume that a pilot's speed upon impact was 123 mph (54 m/s), then what was his deceleration? Assume that the trees and snow stopped him over a distance of 3.0 m.
In 1967, New Zealander Burt Munro set the world recordfor an Indian motorcycle, on the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah,with a maximum speed of 183.58 mi/h. The one-way coursewas 5.00 mi long. Acceleration rates are often described bythe time it takes to reach 60.0 mi/h from rest. If this time was4.00 s, and Burt accelerated at this rate until he reached hismaximum speed, how long did it take Burt to complete thecourse?
Which of the following is the correct conversion of initial velocity in base SI units? Refer to the problem given below. Lamborghini Murcielago is one of the most iconic cars ever as it was featured as a Batmobile in the third installment of Batman Trilogy directed by Christopher Nolan. If it can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 3 seconds, what is its rate of change in velocity per unit time? (1 mile is equal to 1.61 kilometers)
