The speed limit on a particular freeway is 28.0 m per s (about 101 km per hour). A car that is merging onto the freeway is capable of accelerating at 5.50 m/s2 If the car is currently traveling forward at 13.0 m per s, what is the shortest amount of time it could take the vehicle to reach the speed limit?

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 drag racer crosses the finish line, and the driver deploys a parachute and applies the breaks to slow down. The driver begins slowing down at 6 seconds and the velocity becomes 28m/s. When the time changes to 12 second, the velocity has been reduced to 12.5 m/s. What is the average acceleration of the dragster?
