Suppose a car is traveling at +24.3 m/s, and the driver sees a traffic light turn red. After 0.219 s has elapsed (the reaction time), the driver applies the brakes, and the car decelerates at 4.00 m/s2. What is the stopping distance of the car, as measured from the point where the driver first notices the red light?

A driver, driving at a constant speed of 30m/s in a 50 mph zone, is unaware that he is being observed by an approaching police car (coming toward him from the front). At time t = 0, they are 800m apart and the police car has an approach speed of 40 m/s. When will the police officer catch up with the motorist? a) 80 s b) 68.6 s c) 11.4 s
A spacecraft starts from rest, and makes a journey to a destination 220000 km from its starting point. It does so by accelerating at a constant rate of 7.51 m/s^2 up to the midpoint of the journey, and then decelerates at the same constant rate of 7.51 m/s^2 for the second half of the journey, ending at rest. How long did the entire journey take?
A jet plane comes in for a landing with a speed of 100m/s, and its acceleration can have a maximum magnitude of 5.00m/s2 as it comes to rest from the instant the plane touches the runway, what is the minimum time interval needed before it can come to rest?
Suppose a car is traveling at +21.4 m/s, and the driver sees a traffic light turn red. After 0.511 s has elapsed (the reaction time), the driver applies the brakes, and the car decelerates at 5.00 m/s2. What is the stopping distance of the car, as measured from the point where the driver first notices the red light?
A car is 126 m from a stop sign and traveling toward the sign at 29 m/s. At this time, the driver suddenly realizes that she must stop the car. If it takes 0.200 s for the driver to apply the brakes, what must be the magnitude of the constant acceleration of the car after the brakes are applied so that the car will come to rest at the stop sign?
A blue car is moving at a constant speed of 70 m/s when it passes signage with a police officer beside it. Due to the car's over speeding, the police officer chases it with a constant acceleration of 4 m/s2, one second after the car passes the signage. How long does it the police officer to overtake the truck?
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?
A train is traveling down a straight track at 20 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 40-s time interval starting at the instant the brakes are applied?
A commuter train travels between two downtown stations. Because the stations are only 1.00 km apart, the train never reaches its maximum possible cruising speed. During rush hour the engineer minimizes the time interval t between two stations by accelerating at a rate a1 = 0.100 m/s2 for a time interval t1 and then immediately braking with acceleration a2 = 0.500 m/s2 for a time interval t2. Find the minimum time interval of travel t and the time interval t1.
In a location where the train tracks run parallel to a road, a high-speed train traveling at 100 m/s passes a car traveling at 20 m/s. How long does it take for the train to be 240 m ahead of the car?
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 sperm whale can accelerate at about 0.140 m/s^2 when swimming on the surface of the ocean. How far will it travel if it starts at a speed of 1.20 m/s and accelerates to a speed of 2.5 m/s? Assume the whale travels in a straight line.
