A motorist travels at a constant speed of 39.0 m/s through a school zone; exceeding the posted speed limit. A policeman waits 7.0 s after the speeding car passes, the police cruiser begins to before giving a chase at an acceleraation of 3.5 m/s2. Find the time required to catch the car, from the instant the motorist passes the policeman?

What amount of time does it take an object to come to a stop if is initially traveling at a rate of 13.6 m/s i and it undergoes a displacement of 30.5 m in doing so?

A car, initially at rest, accelerates at a constant rate, 3.36 m/s2 for 32.6 seconds in a straight line. At this time, the car decelerates at a constant rate of -2.00 m/s2, eventually coming to rest. How much distance (in meters) did the car travel during the deceleration portion of the trip?

The speed of a nerve impulse in the human body is about 100 m/s. If you accidentally stub you toe in the dark, estimate the time it takes the nerve impulse to travel to your brain. (Assume that you are approximately 2.00 m tall and that the nerve impulse travels at uniform speed.)

Problem 4: A police car traveling at 95 km/h is traveling west, chasing a motorist traveling at 80 km/h (both velocities are with respect to the ground and are constant). Find: 1. The velocity of the motorist with respect to the police car. 2. If they are originally 250 m apart, in what time interval (in seconds) will the police car overtake the motorist.

An airplane starts its takeoff by moving at 2.6 m/s. The plane must then accelerate at 3.0 m/s2 for the next  [t] 30 s to reach its final takeoff speed. To the nearest tenth of a kilometer, how far does the plane travel while accelerating to its takeoff speed?

A driver distracted by their cell phone stopped clear of an unimpaired driver 145 ft away after 4.5 seconds. How fast were they driving? (all other factors remaining constant, use AASHTO recommended reaction time for unimpaired drivers.)

Super Joe, using his incredible Physics knowledge, starts from rest and accelerates at a spectacular rate of 12.0 m/s? for a distance of 375 m. He then uses his awesome powers to slow down at the rate of -7.50 m/s? until he comes to rest. (a) What is the total distance traveled by Super Joe? (b) How long was Super Joe in motion, from start to stop?

A car racing in a 420m drag race starts from rest and accelerates uniformly to 34.0m/s in the first 1.70s, and then continues at this speed to the finish line. How far does the car travel during the initial acceleration period and how much total time is required by the car to finish the race?

We know that alcohol consumption slows people's reaction times. Suppose that for a particular person, it normally takes 0.37 s to hit the brakes after seeing danger. It takes the same person 1.42 s when drunk. If their car is initially traveling at 84 km/h, how much farther (in meters) does the car travel before the brakes are applied when the person is drunk compared to sober? (Notice that the car's speed is given in km/h but the times given are in seconds and your answer should be in meters, so you'll have to do some unit conversion.)
