A runner is moving at 6m/s when they begin to decelerate at 2m/s2 . How far will they travel until they come to a stop?
How do I solve this? My professor has it worked to where 6m/s is the final velocity and I don't understand why.
Your speed meter shows that your driving 60kph, and you want to overtake a truck running 50kph, 10m ahead of you. If your vehicle can accelerate at 0.10m/s^2, how much time do you need to overtake? write your solution on paper
a. 3s
b. 4.3s
c. 3.4s
d. 4s
While driving on the highway at 100 km/hr, a billboard distracts you for 2.5 seconds. How far does your car travel in this time? Please answer this question in meters
