As you ride a bicycle on the sidewalk with a speed of 5.01 m/s, a ball suddenly rolls out in front of you. You hit the brakes and come to rest in 2.0090 m. How much time did it take you to come to a complete stop?

An airplane covers a straight-line distance of 8.59 km in 30 .1 s, during which time it has a constant forward acceleration of 3.68 m/s2. What is the speed of the airplane, in m/s, at the beginning of the 30.1 s?

As a science project, you drop a watermelon off the top of the Empire State Building, 320m above the sidewalk. It so happens that Superman flies by at the instant you release the watermelon. Superman is headed straight down with a speed of 33.0 m/s How fast is the watermelon going when it passes Superman?

A tennis ball is dropped from a 350-m high hot-air balloon and is heading upward at a rate of 14.14 m/s. How much time will it take for the tennis ball to reach the ground?

A black mamba snake has a length of 2.67 m and a top speed of 3.80 m/s. Suppose a mongoose and a black mamba find themselves nose to nose. In an effort to escape, the snake accelerates at 4.73 m/s2 from rest. How much time does it take the snake to reach its top speed and how far does the snake travel in that time?

A hockey player is standing on his skates on a frozen pond when an opposing player, moving with a uniform speed of 12.6 m/s, skates by with the puck. After 3.4 s, the first player makes up his mind to chase his opponent. If he accelerates uniformly at 4.2 m/s?, how long does it take him to catch his opponent?

A horse and a squirrel participate in a race over a 1.90 km long course. The horse travels at a speed of 19.0 m/s and the squirrel can do 3.30 m/s. The horse runs for 1.520 km and then stops to tease the slow-moving squirrel, which eventually passes by. The horse waits for a while after the squirrel passes and then runs toward the finish line. Both animals cross the finish line at the exact same instant. Assume both animals, when moving, move steadily at their respective speeds. (a) How far (in m) is the squirrel from the finish line when the horse resumes the race? Enter a number. r animal resumes the race, they both travel for the same amount of time to the end of the race. How far does the faster animal travel during this time? If we represent the distance the slower animal has traveled by D, how far does the slower animal travel? m (b) For how long in time (in s) was the horse stationary? S

A car traveling with an initial velocity of 26.75 m/s to the east, sees a wall 68.12 meters to its east. It applies the break and slows down with an acceleration of 3.22 m/s² to the west. How fast is the car in m/s when it hits the wall?

A speeder traveling at 41 m/s passes a motorcycle policeman at rest at the side of the road. The policeman accelerates at 4.77 m/s2. To the nearest tenth of a second how long does it take the policeman to catch the speeder?

Rickey Henderson, baseball's record holder for stolen bases, approaches third base. He dives headfirst, hitting the ground at 7.31 m/s and reaching the base at 5.07 m/s, accelerating at -5.12 m/s/s. Determine the distance Rickey slides across the ground before touching the base.
