Q3: An automobile starts from rest and travels for (5 s) with a uniform acceleration of (+2 m/s³). The driver then applies the brakes, causing a uniform de-acceleration of (-2 m/s*). If the brakes are applied for (3 s); (a) How fast is the automobile going at the end of the braking period? (b) How far has the car gone?

You’re driving in your car at 60 mph when Bambi steps out right in front of you and freezes. You slam on the brakes decelerating at a rate of 0.5 g (-4.9 M/S). How far and how long will it take for the car to come to a stop?
The Empire State building in New York City is 381 m tall. If a penny were dropped from rest at the height, how many seconds would it take to strike the street below? Air resistance would make a significant difference in the real world case, but ignore air resistance for now.
An unidentified flying object (UFO) is observed to travel a total distance of 23000 m, starting and ending at rest, over a duration of 2.59 s. Assuming the UFO accelerated at a constant rate to the midpoint of its journey and then decelerated at a constant rate the rest of the way, what was the magnitude of its acceleration? Express your answer in g s , where 1 g = 9.81 m/s^2. 699 g s 13,715 g s 6,857 g s 1,398 g s
Cars A and B are traveling at vA=116 km/hr and vB=108 km/hr respectively when the driver of Car B applies the brakes abruptly causing the car to slide to a stop, see Figure Q1. Take the coefficient of friction for the road to be 0.8. Suppose the driver of Car A takes 1.5 seconds to react to the situation and applies his brakes causing Car A to slide as well. Given Car A has the same deceleration as Car B calculate the minimum distance, d between A and B at the time Car B starts sliding, to avoid a car crash.
A car goes from 0 to 35 mph in 5 s. How many g’s did the driver experience? How far has the car traveled in this time? What the acceleration rate of the car?
Usain Bolt wants to complete a 10kilometer-run in less than 30 minutes. After running at constant speed for exactly 26 minutes, the runner still has 1.5km left to run. The runner must then accelerate at 0.30m/s2 for how many seconds to reach a final velocity that will allow them to complete the 1.5km left of the race in the desired time?
A car accelerates uniformly from +10.0 m/s to +40.0 m/s over a distance of 125 m. How long did it take to go that distance? Please show the equation used, the given and unknown qualities. Make sure the answer has the correct number of significant figures
What is the average acceleration of a car that goes from rest to 60 km/h in 8 seconds? a) In km/h/s and b) in m/s^2 c) . By what factor does this acceleration compare to the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s^2. (Hint take the bigger/smaller)
A European sports car dealer claims that his car will accelerate at a cnstant rate from rest to 100 km/h in 8 seconds. You test this by driving a car up to a straight, flat section of track that is 200m long and note that the speedometer increased by 20 m/s as you drove through it. Under what conditions would the dealer be correct?
We did this problem in class (3.10) and the answer ended up being 1.35 m/s but I'm still confused with the steps taken to get that answer.
Traumatic brain injury such as concussion results when the head undergoes a very large acceleration. Generally, an acceleration less than 800 m/s2 lasting for any length of time will not cause injury, whereas an acceleration greater than 1 000 m/s2 lasting tor at least 1 ms will cause injury. Suppose; a small child rolls off a bed that is 0.40 m above the floor. If the floor is hardwood, the childs head is brought to rest in approximately 2.0 min. If the floor is carpeted, this stopping distance is increased to about 1.0 cm. Calculate the magnitude and duration of the deceleration. In both cases, to determine the risk of injury. Assume the child remains horizontal during the fall to the floor. Note that a more complicated fall could result in a head velocity greater or less than the speed you calculate.
In a classic clip on Americas Funniest Home Videos, a sleeping cat rolls gently off the top of a warm TV set. Ignoring air resistance, calculate the position and velocity of the cat after (a) 0.100 s, (b) 0.200 s, and (c) 0.300 s.
