- A driver traveling at night on a country road suddenly sees another car pull out into the roadway in front of him.He slams on his brakes and skids for a distance of 72.9 m until he hits the other car. If the driver slowed with constant acceleration of 4.8m/s² for 4.5 s,with what speed would he hit the other car?arrow_forwardA subway train starts from rest at a station and accelerates at a rate of 2.50 m/s² for 15.90 seconds. It then runs at a constant speed for 35 seconds and then slows down at a rate of 4.50 m/s? until it stops at the next station. (a) What is the speed of the train just before it starts slowing down? (Ans.: v = 39.75 m/s) (b) How long did it take the train to finish the trip from one station to the other? (Ans.: t = 59.73 s)arrow_forwardA car accelerates from rest at 1.0 m/s² for 20.0 seconds along a straight road. It then moves at a constant speed for half an hour.

B) A plane flies from London Heathrow Airport to Dubai International Airport, a distance of approximately 5500 km at an average speed of 1200 km/h. The return trip was made at an average speed of 1050 km/h. Find the average speed for the whole journey.arrow_forwardI am having trouble finding the average velocity of a truck in a problem. The problem states, "A truck on a straight road starts from rest, accelerating at 2.00 m/s2 until it reaches a speed of 20.0 m/s. Then the truck travels for 60.0 s at constant speed until the brakes are applied, stopping the truck in a uniform manner in an additional 5.00 s." I know that the truck is in motion for 75 seconds and I know that average velocity is displacement/time but I havent been able to get the right number.arrow_forward
