Starting from rest, a bus leaves a gas station with a constant acceleration of 2 m/s˄2 until it reaches a speed of 10 m/s. The bus then continues to move with this speed (10 m/s) for 5 s. Then the bus decelerates at 2.5 m/s˄2 until it stops. What is the total distance traveled by the bus? Illustrate the given first.

Starting from rest, a bus leaves a gas station with a constant acceleration of 2 m/s˄2 until it reaches a speed of 10 m/s. The bus then continues to move with this speed (10 m/s) for 5 s. Then the bus decelerates at 2.5 m/s˄2 until it stops. What is the total distance traveled by the bus? (Answer: 95 m) Give the solution for this.(given, solution)
A train is traveling down a straight track at 32 m/s when the engineer applies the brakes, resulting in an acceleration of −1.0 m/s2 as long as the train is in motion. How far does the train move during a 64-s time interval starting at the instant the brakes are applied in meters?
You normally drive on a freeway between San Diego and Los Angeles at an average speed of 105 km/h, and the trip takes 2 h and 20 mins. On a Friday afternoon, however, heavy traffic slows you down and you drive the same distance at an average speed of only 70 km/h. How much longer does the trip take?
Starting from rest, a bus leaves a gas station with a constant acceleration of 2 m/s˄2 until it reaches a speed of 10 m/s. The bus then continues to move with this speed (10 m/s) for 5 s. Then the bus decelerates at 2.5 m/s˄2 until it stops. What is the total distance traveled by the bus?
A runner with a good awareness of her pace runs along a path of unknown length at a speed of 0.275 mi/min and then walks back to her starting point at a speed of 0.0500 mi/min. She neglects to note her time for each part of her path, but does measure the total round trip time to be 60.0 min. How far did she run? Do not include the walking distance
A simple model for a person running the 100 m dash is to assume the sprinter runs with constant acceleration until reaching top speed, then maintains that speed through the finish line. If a sprinter reaches his top speed of 11.2 m/s in 2.14 s, what will be his total time?
A motorist has to travel 3.50km in a city where his average speed should not exceed 25km/h. If he increases his average speed 40km/h, how much time will he gain in his journey?
A parachutist jumps out of an airplane and accelerates with gravity to a maximum velocity of 58.8 m/s in 6 seconds. She then pulls the parachute cord and after a 4 second deceleration, descends at 10 m/s for 60 seconds. reaching the ground. From what height did the parachutist jump?
A car travels along a 1000 m path, starting from rest. For the first 300 m, it accelerates at 2.00 ?/?22.00 �/�2 and for the last 700 m it accelerates at −0.400 ?/?2-0.400 �/�2 . How long does it take to travel the path? Type your answer here s
George, the absent-minded professor, drives his car 5.0 miles due east alonga straight road to the grocery store. Upon arriving there 15 minutes (0.25 h) after he left home, he suddenly realizes he forgot his grocery list. He immediately turns around and heads back towards home. After travelling 6.8 miles due west in 12 minutes (0.20 h), the car runs out of gas. What is his average speed during the not-quite-completed trip?
A tennis ball is dropped from a height of 8 m and rebounds to a height of 4.5 m. If it is in contact with the floor for 0.038 s, what is its average acceleration during this period?(Take downward as positive) __ m/s^2
To pass a physical fitness test, Massimo must run 1000 m at an average rate of 4.00 m/s. He runs the first 900 m in 250 s. In how much time must he run the last 100 m to pass the test?
