When starting from rest at the bottom of a straight road with constant upward slope, Joan bicycles to the top 50.0 s ahead of Sally, whose travel time is 5.00 minutes. What is the ratio of Joan's acceleration to Sally's acceleration?
a parachutist opens his chute at time t=0, while falling vertically at a speed of 50.0 m/s. From the combined effects of gravity and air resistance, he is subject to anupward acceleration of ay= (40/T)e-t/T where T=6.8s. Find the parachutist's speed 10s after the chute is opened and the distance fallen during that period of time.
A ball is thrown directly downward with an initial speed of 7.15 m/s, from a height of 30.7 m. After what time interval does it strike the ground?
A car driving on a straight track accelerates at a rate of 3.2 m/s^2 for 4 secs. If the initial velocity of the car was 5.1 m/s, and initial position was 0 m, what's the final velocity?
The driver of a car slams on the brakes when he sees a tree blocking the road. The car slows uniformly with acceleration of −5.30 m/s2 for 4.15 s, making straight skid marks 62.6 m long, all the way to the tree. With what speed (in m/s) does the car then strike the tree? What If? If the car has the same initial velocity, and if the driver slams on the brakes at the same distance from the tree, then what would the acceleration need to be (in m/s2) so that the car narrowly avoids a collision? m/s2
A car is travelling at a constant speed of 100 km.hr at the highway when the driver noticed that the bridge 10 m away is cut off. If the driver immediately applied the brakes upon noticing the cut off bridge, what must be his deceleration so he would not fall to the river?
A locomotive is accelerating at 1.87m/s^2. It passes through a 15.1m wide crossing in a time of 3.07s. After the locomotive leaves the crossing, how much time is required until its speed reaches 28.0m/s?
A car is travelling along a straight highway with a constant velocity of 10 m/s. Suddenly, the car starts to accelerate, INCREASING its speed at a constant rate of 3 m/s^2 After 3 seconds, how far is the car from its position when it started accelerating? After 5 seconds of accelerating, how fast is the car going?
A driver of a car slams on the brakes when he sees a tree blocking the road. The car slows uniformly with an acceleration of 5.60 m/s2 for 4 seconds, making straight skid marks 62.4 m long, all the way to the tree. With what speed does the car then strike the tree?

A police car is traveling at a velocity of 16.0 m/s due north, when a car zooms by at a constant speed of 50 m/s due north. After a reaction time of 0.700 s the policeman begins to pursue the speeder with an acceleration of 5.00 m/s2. Including the reaction time, how long does it take for the police car to catch up with the speeder?
