On dry concrete, a car can decelerate at a rate of 7.00 m/s^2, whereas on wet concrete it can decelerate at only 5.00 m/s^2. Find the distances necessary to stop a car moving at 30.0 m/s (about 110km/h) (a) on dry concrete and (b) on wet concrete. (c) Repeat both calculations, finding the displacement from the poiint where the driver sees a traffic light turn red, taking into account his reaction time of 0.500 s to get his foot on the brake.

A car accelerates from rest at a rate of 2.2 m/s^2 for 14.3s. The car then holds this speed for 16.0s, after which there is an acceleration of -3.0 m/s^2 until the car comes to rest. a) Sketch a position vs. time graph for the car b) Sketch a velocity vs, time graph for the car c) What is the total distance traveled by the car?

Cranberries can be harvested using either a "wet" method or a "dry" method. Dry-harvested cranberries can be sold at a premium, while wet-harvested cranberries are used mainly for cranberry juice and bring in less revenue. Fresh Made Cranberry Cooperative must decide how much of its cranberry crop should be harvested wet and how much should be dry harvested. Fresh Made has 5,000 barrels of cranberries that can be harvested using either the wet or dry method. Dry cranberries are sold...

A race car starts from rest, accelerates at a constant rate of 3.8 m/s^2 for 23s, and then brakes (decelerates) at a constant rate of 5.6 m/s^2 (magnitude) until it comes to a stop. (a) Find the total distance traveled by the car before coming to rest. (b) Draw a graph of the velocity vs. time, and indicate numerical values of any “special points”on the graph.
