In a friendly game of chicken, Car A has a starting distance of 160m in front of Car B. Both cars start with the same speed of 100 km/h, and both cars accelerate at constant rates. Knowing that Car B accelerates at 4.25 m/s^2. And car A accelerates at 4.00 m/s^2 . Determine the position in meters, that they crash.
The acceleration of a particle is given by ax(t)=−2.00m/s2+(3.00m/s3)t. Find the initial velocity v0x such that the particle will have the same x-coordinate at time t = 4.93 s as it had at t=0.
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 race car starts from rest and travels east along a straight and level track. For the first 5.0 s of the car's motion, the eastward component of the car's velocity is given by υx(t)=(0.920m/s^3)t^2 What is the acceleration of the car when υx = 12.8 m/s ? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
The velocity of a particle at any time t moving along an x-axis is given by the following equation: v = 3t^2 - 8t + 3 where v is in m/s. At t = 0, x = 0.

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 car starts from rest, then accelerates at a constant rate over a distance of 89 m. It then immediately decelerates at a constant rate over a distance of 152 m. The entire trip lasts a total duration of 27.2 s. What were the magnitudes of the car s accelerations for the speedup and slowdown stages respectively? 1. 1.76 m/s^2, then 1.03 m/s^2 2. 3.27 m/s^2, then 5.59 m/s^2 3. 0.65 m/s^2, then 0.65 m/s^2 4. 5.59 m/s^2, then 3.27 m/s^2
The parachutist descends for 130 m in free fall, and then opens the parachute, which slows it down to a speed of 6.5 m/s. For how long does he have to opening the parachute so that the acceleration of the parachute does not exceed 7g? Air resistance is ignored. (The solution is 640 ms)
