A commuter train travels between two downtown stations. Because the stations are only 1.00 km apart, the train never reaches its maximum possible cruising speed. During rush hour the engineer minimizes the time interval ?t between two stations by accelerating for a time interval ?t1 at a rate a1 = 0.100 m/s2 and then immediately braking with acceleration ??2 = -0.500 m/s2 for a time interval ?t2. Find the minimum time interval of travel ?t and the time interval ?t1

Page 5 of 8 5. As I drive on a back-country road, I suddenly see a deer "frozen" in the headlights. I was driving at 11.4 m/s, but immediately apply the brakes and slow with an acceleration of 3.80 ". a. If the deer was 20.0 m from my vehicle when the brakes were applied, how close did I come to hitting the deer? b. How much time was needed for my vehicle to stop?

What was the particle's instantaneous acceleration time(s) at t = 3.00s ? С. What was the average acceleration between t = 1.00s and t = 3.00s ? 4- 2. acceleration(m/s)
To take off from the ground, an airplane must reach a sufficiently high speed. The velocity required for the takeoff, the takeoff velocity, depends on several factors, including the weight of the aircraft and the wind velocity. 1. plane accelerates from rest at a constant rate of 5.00 m/s2 along a runway that is 1800 m long. Assume that the plane reaches the required takeoff velocity at the end of the runway. What is the time t needed to take off? 2.What is the distance d traveled by the plane in the first second of its run? 3.What is the distance d traveled by the plane in the last second before taking off?

You are driving along Lawrence Ave. at 60 km/h. You see the traffic light ahead is still green and decide to speed up to try to make it through the intersection before it turns red (poor decision!). Your car accelerates at 1.3 m/s. You reach the light after accelerating for 4.3 seconds. What is your speed at the light in m/s?
