- A car sits on an entrance ramp to a freeway, waiting for a break in the traffic. Then the driver accelerates with constant acceleration along the ramp and onto the freeway. The car starts from rest, moves in a straight line, and has a speed of 20 m/s 145 mi/h2 when it reaches the end of the 120-m-long ramp. (a) What is the acceleration of the car? (b) How much time does it take the car to travel the length of the ramp? (c) The traffic on the freeway is moving at a constant speed of 20 m/s.What distance does the traffic travel while the car is moving the length of the ramp?arrow_forwardA driver wants to see how fast his car can go, so he goes out to the salt flats where he can drive a very long way in a straight line over level ground. Suppose he starts from rest and travels 400.0m with a constant acceleration of 8.00m/s2. (a) How long did this take? (b) How fast was the car going at the end of this trial?arrow_forwardA stone is thrown upward with a speed of 7 m/s from a height of 20 m.
