At the end of a race a runner decelerates from a velocity of 8.70 m/s at a rate of 2.10 m/s. (a) How far in meters does she travel in the next 4.60 s? (Assume the deceleration of 2.10 m/s is constant over the full 4.60 s.) X m Enter a number. (b) What is her final velocity in m/s? m/s (c) Evaluate the result. Does it make sense?
The brakes are applied to a moving car, causing it to uniformly slow down. While slowing, it moves a distance of 40.0 m in 7.00 s to a final velocity of 2.05 m/s, at which point the brakes are released. (a) What was its initial speed (in m/s), just before the brakes were applied? i have tried so many ways to solve this and i cant please explain

A tortoise can run with a speed of 0.11 m/s, and a hare can run 20 times as fast. In a race, they both start at the same time, but the hare stops to rest for 2.0 minutes. The tortoise wins by a shell (35 cm). (a) How long does the race take? s(b) What is the length of the race? m
Albert is riding his scooter at a velocity of 52 km⁄ℎ? when he sees an old woman crossing the road 30 meters away. He immediately steps hard on the brakes to get a maximum deceleration of 8 m/s^2 . How far will he go before stopping? Will he hit the old woman?
Two cars are in a 500 meter race. Car 1 has an acceleration of 3 metersper second squared, and a maximum velocity of 54 m/s. Car 2 has an acceleration of 4 meters persecond squared, with a maximum velocity of only 45 m/s. Assume that the cars are able to movewith their maximum acceleration up until they reach their maximum velocity, then stopaccelerating. If both cars start at the same time, which car passes the finish line first
An electric vehicle starts from rest and accelerates at a rate of 1.6 m/s2 in a straight line until it reaches a speed of 24 m/s. The vehicle then slows at a constant rate of 1.1 m/s² until it stops. (a) How much time elapses from start to stop? (b) How far does the vehicle move from start to stop?
A parachutist bails out and freely falls 61 m. Then the parachute opens, and thereafter she decelerates at 2.1 m/s2. She reaches the ground with a speed of 2.5 m/s. (a) How long is the parachutist in the air? (b) fall begin?
To take off from the ground, an airplane must reach a sufficiently high speed. The velocity required for the takeoff, the takeoff velocity, depends on several factors, including the weight of the aircraft and the wind velocity. A plane accelerates from rest at a constant rate of 5.00 m/s2m/s2 along a runway that is 1800 mm long. Assume that the plane reaches the required takeoff velocity at the end of the runway. What is the time tTOtTO needed to take off? What is the distance d_last traveled by the plane in the last second before taking off?
