Suppose a car is traveling at +24.7 m/s, and the driver sees a traffic light turn red. After 0.262 s has elapsed (the reaction time), the driver applies the brakes, and the car decelerates at 4.00 m/s². What is the stopping distance of the car, as measured from the point where the driver first notices the red light?

A Ferrari and a Lamborghini are travelling in the same direction at 60.0 kph on a straight highway, parallel to each other, and the Ferrari is ahead of Lamborghini by 250 kph. At a certain time, Ferrari decelerates uniformly at 2.51 m/s2, whereas the Lamborghini accelerates uniformly at 2.1 m/s2. At what distance measured from the initial position of Lamborghini will it overtake Ferrari.

A girl operates a radio-controlled model car in a vacant parking lot. The girl drives a car in a straight line so that the x coordinate is defined by the relation is given by x(t) = 0.5t3 – 3t2 + 3t +2 where x is in meters and t in seconds. When is the instantaneous acceleration zero?
You are driving a car along a straight road at 122 kph. Suddenly, you saw a cat crossing the road and you apply the brakes decelerating the car at a constant rate of -44 ft/s. If your reaction time is 1.50 seconds, what is the shortest stopping distance from the moment you see the cat? Illustrate the problem.
rocket, on an unknown planet, launches straight upward. Starting from rest, the rocket accelerates until it reaches 25 m/s then maintains that velocity until its boosters shut off. It eventually falls back to the planet. ASSUME: Starting at t = 0, the rocket accelerates upwards a total distance of 10 m, where it reaches an instantaneous velocity of 25 m/s The moment it reaches an instantaneous velocity of 25 m/s, it travels 30 m upward at a constant speed, then the engines cut off. The moment the engines cut off: the rocket is in free fall From the time it initially launches (t = 0) to the time it lands back on the planet is 7 s The acceleration due to gravity is constant on this planet. HOWEVER you may not assume g = 10 m/s2 Air resistance is negligible DETERMINE: The acceleration due to gravity on this planet
A car is traveling at 55 mi/hr when the driver sees a deer in the road 170 feet ahead. The driver applies the brakes fully, producing a constant deceleration of 20 ft/s^2. Does the driver successfully stop before hitting the deer? Explain your answer.

Sophia is cruising at 28.0 m/s down Lake Avenue and through the forest preserve. She notices a deer jump into the road at a location 62.0 m in front of her. Ima first reacts to the event, then slams on her brakes and decelerates at -8.10 m/s2, and ultimately stops a picometer in front of the frozen deer. What is Ima's reaction time? (i.e., how long did it take Sophia to react to the event prior to decelerating?
On a one lane road, a person driving a car at v1 = 58 mi/h suddenly notices a truck 1.1 mi in front of him. That truck is moving in the same direction at v2 = 35 mi/h. In order to avoid a collision, the person has to reduce the speed of his car to v2 during time interval Δt. The smallest magnitude of acceleration required for the car to avoid a collision is a. During this problem, assume the direction of motion of the car is the positive direction. 1. Use the expressions you entered in parts (c) and (f) and enter an expression for a in terms of d, v1, and v2. a = ( v2 - v1 )/Δt Δt = ( 2 ) ( d )/( v1 - v2 ) 2. Calculate the value of a in meters per second squared.

What is the stopping distance of the car, as measured from the point where the driver first notices the red light?
