A train is traveling down a straight track at 32 m/s when the engineer applies the brakes, resulting in an acceleration of −1.0 m/s2 as long as the train is in motion. How far does the train move during a 64-s time interval starting at the instant the brakes are applied in meters?
What is the initial velocity of a person who has an acceleration of 15 m/s^2 and reaches a max velocity of 6 m/s after .5 seconds at this constant acceleration?
You normally drive on a freeway between San Diego and Los Angeles at an average speed of 105 km/h, and the trip takes 2 h and 20 mins. On a Friday afternoon, however, heavy traffic slows you down and you drive the same distance at an average speed of only 70 km/h. How much longer does the trip take?
