If it takes a bicyclist 25 seconds to reach a speed of 10 km/h from rest, what is her acceleration? For the next 10 minutes, she moves at the constant speed of 10 km/h, and at this time, she applies her brakes, and the bicycle decelerates to a full stop in 5 seconds. What is the total distance travelled by the bicyclist? Determine the average speed of the cyclist during the first 25 seconds, 620 seconds, and 625 seconds.

14. On a 102-mile trip from Pensacola to Tallahassee, Florida, Shanna drove 10 miles per hour slower than she did on her 189-mile trip from Ocala to Orlando, Florida. The Tallahassee trip took 1 hour 40 minutes longer than the Orlando trip. How fast did Shanna drive on her Tallahassee trip? Express your answer in 2 decimal places.
What role does reaction time play in applying the brakes to your car in emergency situations? Assume your car is traveling at 100 kph when a pedestrian suddenly crosses the street in front of your car. How far will your car travel before you can apply the brakes? Show your solution.What is the likelihood of running over the pedestrian? (Assume that you can bring the car to a stop in 10 m once you step on the brakes when you are driving at 50 kph.)
Determine the time tt for the car to reach a speed of 50 m/s Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
