A car travels on a straight, level road. (a) Starting from rest, the car is going 44 ft/s (30 mi/h) at the end of 5.0 s. What is the cars average acceleration in ft/s2? (b) In 4.0 more seconds, the car is going 88 ft/s (60 mi/h). What is the cars average acceleration for this time period? (c) The car then slows to 66 ft/s (45 mi/h) in 3.0 s. What is the average acceleration for this time period? (d) What is the overall average acceleration for the total time? (Note these convenient British unit conversions: 60 mi/h = 88 ft/s, 45 mi/h = 66 ft/s, and 30 mi/h = 44 ft/s.)

"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.
An airplane accelerates down a runway at 3.20 m/s2 for 32.8 s until is finally lifts off the ground. Determine the distance traveled before takeoff. (Please give me the simplest formula to solve this equation)
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:
NOTE: USE V, =initial velocity a = acceleration x= distance or displacement V= final velocity t= time 1. The driver of a car traveling at 60 miles /h applies the brakes and the car decelerates at a constant rate. What is the velocity (in mi/h ) of the car 0.8 mi farther along the road if the car reaches this point 1.5 min after the brakes were applied?

Suppose a car merges into freeway traffic on a 200 -m-long ramp. If its initial velocity is 10 m/s and it accelerates at 2 m/s2, how long does it take to travel the 200 m up the ramp? (Such information might be useful to a traffic engineer.) v0=__m/s
The acceleration of a crate sliding down a ramp is given by ax = (0.25t²) m/s² and ay = (1.5t³) m/s?, where t is in seconds. When t = Os, vx= 3 m/s and vy = 4 m/s. Determine the magnitude of the crate's velocity when t = 2 s.
A car is traveling at an initial speed of 20 m/s and slows to rest with an acceleration of -5.0 m/s?. What is the stopping distance, in meters? 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.
While entering a freeway, a car accelerates from rest at a rate of 2.40 m/s for 12.0 s. (a) Draw a sketch of the situation. (b) List the knowns in this problem. (c) How far does the car travel in those 12.0 s? To solve this part, first identify the unknown, and then discuss how you chose the appropriate equation to solve for it. After choosing the equation, show your steps in solving for the unknown, check your units, and discuss whether the answer is reasonable. (d) What is the car’s final velocity? Solve for this unknown in the same manner as in part (c), showing all steps explicitly.
