While slowing, it moves a distance of 40.0 m in 7.15 s to a final velocity of 1.45 m/s, at which point the brakes are released. (a) What was its initial speed (in m/s), just before the brakes were applied? m/s (b) What was its acceleration (in m/s2) while the brakes were applied? (Assume the initial direction of motion is the positive direction. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) m/s2

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 typical jetliner lands at a speed of 160 mi/h and decelerates at the rate of (10.0 mi/h)/s. If the plane travels at a constant speed of 160 mi/h for 1.00 s after landing before applying the brakes, what is the total displacement of the aircraft between touchdown on the runway and coming to rest?
A baseball is pitched, reaching the batter with a speed of 37 m/s, and is hit such that it returns on the same line at 48 m/s. If the ball was in contact with the bat for .22 seconds, what was the magnitude of the average acceleration experienced by the ball during the time of contact?
In getting ready to slam-dunk the ball, a basketball player starts from rest and sprints to a speed of 7.12 m/s in 3.94 s. Assuming that the player accelerates uniformly, determine the distance he runs.
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 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?
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 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
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?
A Jet plane lands with a speed of 100m/s and can accelerate at a maximum rate of -5.00m/s^2 as it comes to rest. Can this plane land on a small tropical island airport where the runway is 0.800km long?
A UCI student is running at her top speed of 5.1 m/s to catch a Shuttle bus, which is stopped at the bus stop. When the student is still a distance 42.0 m from the Shuttle bus, it starts to pull away, moving with a constant acceleration of 0.163 m/s2. For what distance does the student have to run at 5.1 m/s before she overtakes the bus?
During a hard sneeze, your eyes might shut for 0.38 s. If you are driving a car at 94 km/h during such a sneeze, how far does the car move during that time?
