A truck on a straight road starts from rest and accelerates at 2.0m/s2 until it reaches a speed of 20m/s. Then the truck travels for 20 s at a constant speed until the brakes are applied, stopping the truck in a uniform manner in an additional 5.0s s. (a) How long is the truck in motion? (b) What is the average velocity of the truck during the motion described?

A car starts from rest and travels for 5.0s with a uniform acceleration of 1.5 m/s2. The driver then applies the brakes, causing a uniform acceleration of -2.0 m/s2. If the brakes are applied for 3.0 sĀ 

(a) how fast is the car going at the end of the braking period?

(b) how far has the car gone?

An electric vehicle starts from rest and accelerates at a rate of 2.5 m/s2 in a straight line until it reaches a speed of 29 m/s. The vehicle then slows at a constant rate of 1.2 m/s2 until it stops. (a) How much time elapses from start to stop? (b) How far does the vehicle move from start to stop?

In a stunt being filmed for a movie, a sports car overtakes a truck towing a ramp, drives up and off the ramp, soars into the air, and then lands on top of a flat trailer towed by a second truck. The tops of the ramp and the flat trailer are the same height above the road, and the ramp is inclined 13Ā° above the horizontal. Both trucks are driving at a constant speed of 11 m/s, and the trailer is 20 m from the end of the ramp. Neglect air resistance, and assume that the ramp changes the direction, but not the magnitude, of the car's initial velocity. What is the minimum speed the car must have, relative to the road, as it starts up the ramp?
