A body moving in the positive x-direction passes the origin at time t = 0. Between t = 0 and t = 1 second, the body has a constant speed of 14 (m/s). At t = 1 second, the body is given a constant acceleration of 5 (m/s2) in the negative x-direction. The position x of the body in meters at t = 9 seconds is
A space shuttle is launched from rest. It takes 8.00 s to reach 158 km/h , and at the end of the first 1.00 min its speed is 1580 km/h .
Assuming the acceleration is constant during each time interval (but not necessarily the same in both intervals), what distance does the shuttle travel during the interval from 8.00 s to 1.00 min?

- On a one lane road, a person driving a car at v1 = 58 mi/h suddenly notices a truck 1.1 mi in front of him. That truck is moving in the same direction at v2 = 35 mi/h. In order to avoid a collision, the person has to reduce the speed of his car to v2 during time interval Δt. The smallest magnitude of acceleration required for the car to avoid a collision is a. During this problem, assume the direction of motion of the car is the positive direction. 1.
