You are driving a car behind another car. Both cars are moving at speed 80 km/h. Assume your brakes are just a bit harder than the car ahead and your reaction time is 0.60 s. What minimum distance behind the car in front should you drive so that you do not crash into the car's rear end if the driver of that car slams on the brakes?

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?
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 bus is travellung with a uniform velocity of 20 m/s. at the instant it passes a car at rest, the car starts to move and accelerate at 4 m/s^2 in the same direction as the velocity of the bus. how far will it take before the car overtakes the bus?
A hockey player is standing on his skates on a frozen pond when an opposing player, moving with a uniform speed of 12 m/s, skates by with the puck. After 3.0s, the first player makes up his mind to chase his opponent. If he accelerates uniformly at 4.0 m/s, how long does it take him to catch his opponent?
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?
An adult on a bicycle approaches a stop sign and applies the brakes to slow to a stop. If the bicycle and adult were originally traveling at 7.36 m/s and the brakes cause a deceleration of magnitude 2.79 m/s2, what distance is required for the person to stop the bicycle?
A football player carrying the ball runs straight ahead at the line of scrimmage and directly into a wall of defensive linemen. The ball carrier has an initial speed of 8.56 m/s and is stopped in a time interval of 0.182 s. Find the magnitude and direction of his average acceleration.
A jetliner travelling northward is landing with a speed of 69m/s . Once the jet touches down it has 750 m of runway in which to reduce its speed to 6.1m/s. Calculate the average acceleration of the plane during the landing . And IF identical pellet guns are fired simultaneously from the edge of a cliff. These guns impart an initial speed of 30.0m/s to each pellet. Gun A is fired straight upwards, with the pellet going up and the n falling back down, eventually hitting the ground beneath the cliff. Gun B is fired straight downwards. In the absence of air resistance, Calculate how long after pellet B hits the ground does pellet A hit the ground?
A driver of a car slams on the brakes when he sees a tree blocking the road. The car slows uniformly with an acceleration of 5.60 m/s2 for 4 seconds, making straight skid marks 62.4 m long, all the way to the tree. With what speed does the car then strike the tree?
A race driver has made a pit stop to refuel. After refueling, he starts from rest and leaves the pit area with an acceleration whose magnitude is 6.9m/s^2; after 4.5s, he enters the main speedway. At the same instant, another car on the speedway and traveling at a constant velocity of 74.0m/s overtakes and passes the entering car. The entering car maintains its acceleration. How much time is required for the entering car to catch up with the other car?
Which of the following situations always indicates zero acceleration?A. A body at restB. A marathon runner traveling in a straight line pathC. A bicycle moving with constant speedD. A car in uniform motion
