The speed limit on a particular freeway is 28.0 m per s (about 101 km per hour). A car that is merging onto the freeway is capable of accelerating at 5.50 m/s2 If the car is currently traveling forward at 13.0 m per s, what is the shortest amount of time it could take the vehicle to reach the speed limit?
A pickup truck is traveling at 30.0 m/s. The driver of the truck applies the brakes and gives the truck a uniform deceleration of 6.50 m/s2² while it
travels 20.0 m. What is the speed of the truck in m/s at the end of this distance?
While entering a freeway, a car accelerates from rest at a rate of 2.8 m/s2 for 14.5 s. How far does the car travel in those 14.5 s, in meters? And what is the car's final velocity, in meters per second?
