Textbook Question
Chapter 0, Problem 22P
If an object is moving at a constant speed v. then the time the object takes to traverse a distance d is inversely proportional to its speed v. If it takes a car 1 h to travel a distance of 60 mi, how long will it take the car to travel the same distance if it slows down to one-third of its original speed?

A train starts from rest and accelerates uniformly, until it has traveled 2.5 km and acquired a velocity of 24 m/s. The train then moves at a constant velocity of 24 m/s for 400 s. The train then slows down uniformly at 0.065 m/s2, until it is brought to a halt. What is the total time traveled by the train?
You are 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 reaction time before stepping on the brakes is 0.50 s , and the maximum deceleration of your car is 10 m/s2.
How much distance is between you and the deer when you come to a stop?
