Freight trains can produce only relatively small acceleration and decelerations. (a) What is the final velocity (in m/s) of a freight train that accelerates at a rate of 0.0500 m/s² for 8.00 min, starting with an initial velocity of 3.00 m/s? m/s (b) If the train can slow down at a rate of 0.550 m/s2, how long (in s) will it take to come to a stop from this velocity? (c) How far (in m) will it travel in each case? m (distance traveled during acceleration) m (distance traveled during deceleration)

A runner is moving with a speed of 2.68[m/s]. How long will it take the runner to complete a 5.0[km] race? Express your answer in seconds. Ignore the time it takes to reach this speed, and assume the runner is always at this speed.
A beetle walks along the ground going to the east at 0.200km/hr for 1.000min., then he stops and rests for 25s before turning around and walking 850mm in a further time of 2.59min. find his average speed and average velocity in SI and scientific notation.
Assume that you are driving a car at 10.0 km/h and then you accelerate to 80.0 km/h with an acceleration of 3.50 m/s². How much time will it take until you reach the velocity 80.0 km/h? (Provide you answer in s with two decimal places.) Your Answer:
"A jet plane is cruising at 320 m/sm/s when suddenly the pilot turns the engines up to full throttle. After traveling 4.8 km , the jet is moving with a speed of 400 m/sm/s. What is the jet's acceleration, assuming it to be a constant acceleration? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units." I am having issues setting up word problems to begin solving. Need an easier method or technique to help deciper these.
Dr. John Paul Stapp was a U.S. Air Force officer who studied the effects of extreme deceleration on the human body. On December 10, 1954, Stapp rode a rocket sled, accelerating from rest to a top speed of 282 m/s (1015 km/h) in 5.00 s, and was brought jarringly back to rest in only 1.40 s!Calculate the magnitude of his average acceleration during the first part of his motion. Express your answer in multiples of g by taking its ratio to 9.80 m/s2. calculate the magnitude his average deceleration during the second part of his motion. Express your answer in multiples of g by taking its ratio to 9.80 m/s2.
A proton (mass m = 1.67 x 10-27 kg) is being accelerated along a straight line at 2.20 x 1015 m/s² in a machine. The proton has an initial speed of 2.00 x 107 m/s and travels 4.1 cm. (a) What is its speed? (Give your answer to at least four significant figures.) m/s
The acceleration of a particle is a constant. At t = 0 the velocity of the particle is (15.8î + 18.4ĵ) m/s.At = 3.6 s the velocity is 10.5ĵ m/s. (Use the following as necessary: t. Do not include units in your answers.) (b) How do the position (in m) and velocity (in m/s) vary with time? Assume the particle is initially at the origin.
A pumpkin is shot straight up with an initial speed of 5.9 m/s. What is the maximum height it can reach, in meters? Use g = 10 m/s2.Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.
a driver sees a deer in front of his car about 100.0 meters in front of him. the driver was traveling 50.0m/s before applying the brakes and coming to rest right where the deer was. what acceleration did the driver experience? answer in m/s2?
In 1967, New Zealander Burt Munro set the world record for an Indian motorcycle, on the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, with a maximum speed of 183.58 mi/h. The one‐way course was 5.00 mi long. Acceleration rates are often described by the time it takes to reach 60.0 mi/h from rest. If this time was 4.00 s, and Burt accelerated at this rate until he reached his maximum speed, a. how long did it take Burt to complete the course? b. Sketch position vs time, velocity vs. time, and acceleration vs. time graphs for the race.

(A) FIND THE DISTANCE TRAVELED BY THE CAR (B) HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE FOR THE TRUCK TO CATCH UP WITH THE CAR? (Express answer in minutes) (C) FIND THE DISTANCE TRAVELED BY THE TRUCK
in his novel From the Earth to the Moon (1866), Jules Verne describes a spaceship that is blasted out of a cannon, called the Columbiad, with a speed of 12,000 yards/s. The Columbiad is 900 ft long, but part of it is packed with powder, so the spaceship accelerates over a distance of only 700 ft. Estimate the acceleration experienced by the occupants of the spaceship during launch. Give your answer in m/s2 (Verne realized that the "travelers would . . . encounter a violent recoil," but he probably didn't know that people generally lose consciousness if they experience accelerations greater than about 7g∼70m/s2.
