5. Tests reveal that a normal driver takes about 0.75 s before he or she can react to a situation to avoid a collision. It takes about 3 s for a driver having 0.1% alcohol in his system to do the same. If such drivers are traveling on a straight road at 30 mph (44 ft/s) and their cars can decelerate at 2 ft/s², determine the shortest stopping distance d for each from the moment they see the pedestrians.

Tests reveal that a normal driver takes about 0.75 s before he or she can react to a situation to avoid a collision. It takes about 3 s for a driver having 0.1% alcohol in his system to do the same. If such drivers are traveling on a straight road at 30 mph (44 ft/s) and their cars can decelerate at 2 ft/s^2, determine the shortest stopping distance d for each from the moment they see the pedestrians.
A train travels between two stations 792 m apart in a minimum time of 41 seconds. If the train accelerates and decelerates at 2.4 m/s, starting from rest at the first station and coming to a stop at the second station, what is the maximum speed?
A minivan is tested for acceleration and braking. In the street-start acceleration test, the elapsed time is 8.3 s for a velocity increase from 10 km/h to 100 km/h. In the braking test, the distance traveled is 44 m during braking to a stop from 100 km/h. Assume constant values of acceleration and deceleration. Determine the deceleration during the braking test. The deceleration during the braking test is m/s²
A car travels along the North Luzon Expressway with a constant speed of 45 kph, To avoid getting penalized of under-speeding, it accelerates at 8 m/s?, Determine the time, in s, that it takes to reach the minimum speed limit of 80 kph.
