While driving along the highway at 40 m/s, you spot a police car 50 m ahead, traveling at a constant speed of 30 m/s which is the speed limit. 2 You apply the brakes and begin decelerating at 1.0 m/s. Assume that the police officer will give you a speeding ticket only if you pass her car. Will you get a ticket? Justify your answer numerically.

If a drag racing motorcyclist has an initial speed of 10 m/s, and then he/she accelerates for 15 seconds at 15 m/s2, what is the velocity after 15 seconds? (do not include units in answer)
In 1967, New Zealander Burt Munro set the world recordfor an Indian motorcycle, on the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah,with a maximum speed of 183.58 mi/h. The one-way coursewas 5.00 mi long. Acceleration rates are often described bythe time it takes to reach 60.0 mi/h from rest. If this time was4.00 s, and Burt accelerated at this rate until he reached hismaximum speed, how long did it take Burt to complete thecourse?
Suppose a car merges into freeway traffic on a 200 -m-long ramp. If its initial velocity is 10 m/s and it accelerates at 2 m/s2, how long does it take to travel the 200 m up the ramp? (Such information might be useful to a traffic engineer.) v0=__m/s
If it takes a bicyclist 20 seconds to reach a speed of10 mph from rest, what is her acceleration? For thenext 10 minutes, she moves at the constant speed of10 mph, and at this time, she applies her brakes, andthe bicycle decelerates to a full stop in 4 seconds. Whatis the total distance traveled by the bicyclist? Determine the average speed of the cyclist during the first20 seconds, 620 seconds, and 624 seconds.
A runner is moving with a speed of 2.68[m/s]. How long will it take the runner to complete a 5.0[km] race? Express your answer in seconds. Ignore the time it takes to reach this speed, and assume the runner is always at this speed.
John is driving his sports car down a four-lane highway at 40 m/s. He overtakes a slow-moving truck. If he can accelerate at 5 m/s², how long will it take for him to reach the speed of 60 m/s?
While driving down a straight road at 70.5 km/h, you pass your physics professor who happens to be out for a jog. He's running at a constant 4.00 m/s, and you decide to slow down and talk physics with him. If you apply your brakes exactly when you pass him on the road, and your car accelerates at 3.58 m/s2 during the breaking, how far do you end up going before he catches up to you?
In World War II, there were several reported cases ofairmen who jumped from their flaming airplanes with noparachute to escape certain death. Some fell about 20,000feet (6000 m), and some of them survived, with few lifethreatening injuries. For these lucky pilots, the tree branchesand snow drifts on the ground allowed their deceleration to berelatively small. If we assume that a pilot’s speed upon impactwas 123 mph (54 m/s), then what was his deceleration?Assume that the trees and snow stopped him over a distanceof 3.0 m.
While entering a freeway, a car accelerates from rest at a rate of 2.8 m/s2 for 14.5 s. How far does the car travel in those 14.5 s, in meters? And what is the car's final velocity, in meters per second?
A model plane flew 100 m in 25.0 s followed by another 240 m in an additional 60.0 s, whereupon it crashed into the ground. How far did it’s travel in total? How long was it in the air? What was its average speed?
My pug/bulldog mix, Georgia, who is blind and deaf, gets a whiff of her dinner. As soon as it registers to her that it's dinnertime, she runs 4.12 meters from the middle of our living room to our kitchen, where she is satiated with her grub. If it takes her 4.45 s to get to the kitchen, what was her speed in m/s to the nearest hundredth?
You're driving down the highway late one night at 21 m/s when a deer steps onto the road 38 m in front of you. Your reaction time before stepping on the brakes is 0.50 s , and the maximum deceleration of your car is 10 m/s2. How much distance is between you and the deer when you come to a stop?
