A car slows down from 28m/s to rest in a distance of 88 m. What was its acceleration, assumed constant?
A drag car starts from rest and accelerates at a rate of 10.0-m/s2 for a distance of 400-m (~1/4 mile). (a) How long did it take the car to travel this distance? (b) What is the speed of the car at the 400-m mark?
A car with good tires on a dry road can decelerate (slow down) at a steady rate of about 5.0
m/s2 when braking. If a car is initially traveling at 55 mi/h
(a) how much time does it take the car to stop?
(b) what is its stopping distance?
