Part 1: A motorist traveling at 17 m per s encounters a deer in the road 48 m ahead. If the maximum acceleration the vehicle's brakes are capable of is -5 m per s2 what is the maximum reaction time of the motorist that will allow her or him to avoid hitting the deer? Answer in units of s. Part 2: If his or her reaction time is 1.29353s, how fast will (s) he be traveling when(s)he reaches the deer? Answer in units of m per s.

A car starts from 2.0 m/s and accelerates at 4.0 m/s2 for 6.0 s, it coasts for 5.0 s, and then slows down at a rate of 2.0 m/s2 to a stop. How far has it traveled, in meters? Your answer needs to have 3 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.

Problem 1: The Tesla Model S P85 electric car accelerates from 0 to 30 mph in 1.4 s, 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 s and 0 to 110 mph in 12.1 s. Estimate how far from the start (in meters) the car is at t=12.1 s. You are given limited information about the motion of the car, so you will need to make some reasonable assumption about how it accelerates. Describe what assumption you used to solve the problem. Problem 2: The Tesla Model S P85 electric car stops from 60 mph over a distance of 118 feet. Find the average deceleration of the car? Express it in multiples of the acceleration due to gravity, g. Compare it to the average acceleration from 0 to 60 mph in problem 1. Which one is greater, by magnitude?

Mario rides his motorcycle in going to school. He drives at an average speed of 30 kilometers per hour. The distance between his house and the school is 15 kilometers. Every time he sees his best friend Jessica walking on the road, he invites her for a ride and lowers his speed. On the other hand, he increases his speed when he wakes up late for school. a) If x represents the time it takes Mario to drive to school with the given distance of 15 kilometers, how will you represent the relationship of his speed (y) versus the time (x)?
