I| You're driving down the highway late one night at 20 m/s when a deer steps onto the road 35 m in front of you. Your reac- tion time before stepping on the brakes is 0.50 s, and the maxi- mum deceleration of your car is 10 m/s². a. How much distance is between you and the deer when you come to a stop? b. What is the maximum speed you could have and still not hit the deer?

A swan on a lake gets airborne by flapping its wings and running on top of the water. (a) If the swan must reach a velocity of 6.00 m/s to take off and it accelerates from rest at an average rate of 0.35m/s2 , how far will it travel before becoming airborne? (b) How long does this take?
Clay Matthews, a linebacker for the Green Bay Packers, can reach a speed of 10.0 m/s. At the start of a play, Matthews runs downfield at 45 with respect to the 50-yard line and covers 8.0 m in 1 s. He then fins straight down the field at 90 with respect to the 50-yard line for 12 m, with an elapsed time of 1.2 s. (a) What is Matthews’ final displacement from the start of the play? (b) What is his average velocity?
A seagull can fly at a velocity of 9.00 m/s in still air. (a) If it takes the bird 20.0 mm to travel 6.00 kin straight into an oncoming wind, what is the velocity of the wind? (b) If the bird turns around and flies with the wind, how long will it take the bird to return 6.00 km?
A swan on a lake gets airborne by flapping its wings and running on top of the water. (a) If the swan must reach a velocity of 6.00 m/s2, to take off and it accelerates from rest at an average rate of 0.350 m/s2, how far will it travel before becoming airborne? (b) How long does this take?
An express train passes through a station. It enters with an initial velocity of 22.0 m/s and decelerates at a rate of 0.150m/s2 as it goes through. The station in 210.0 m long. (a) How fast is it going when the nose leaves the station? (b) How long is the nose of the train in the station? (c) If the train is 130 m long, what is the velocity of the end of the train as it leaves? (d) When does the end of the train leave the station?
A person takes a trip, driving with a constant speed of 89.5 km/h, except for a 22.0-min rest stop. If the persons average speed is 77.8 km/h, (a) how much time is spent on the trip and (b) how far does the person travel?

You are driving down a straight road at night in your McLaren MCL34 Formula 1 racecar at an entirely illegal speed of 98 m/s when Bambi and Thumper jump onto the road in front of you.
