1. If you are driving 85 km/h along a straight road and you look to the side for 2.0s, how far do you travel during this inattentive period? Assume that your speed remains constant.

2. A child, who is 46 m from the bank of a river, is being carried helplessly downstream by the river's swift current of 1.5 m/s. As the child passes a lifeguard on the river's bank, the lifeguard starts swimming in a straight line (perpendicular to the bank) until she reaches the child at a point downstream. If the lifeguard can swim at a speed of 2.2 m/s relative to the water, how long does it take her to reach the child? How far downstream does the lifeguard intercept the child?

Consider driving a car in one direction along a straight road for 10 minutes. You start from rest. During the first 1 minute, you speed up with constant acceleration until you reach 60 m/s. During the next 5 minutes, you maintain constant speed at 60 m/s. During the final 4 minutes, you have constant negative acceleration (i.e. deceleration) until you are not moving. How far in total did you travel during the whole 10 minutes? Express your answer in units...

a stunt driver's car is moving at 24.2 m/s along a straight road. The road comes to an abrupt stop 21.2 m before a drop off. The coefficient of friction of the road is 0.712, and the coefficient of friction of the dirt between the road and the drop off is 0.426. What is the minimum distance at which the driver can behin to apply the brakes and still prevent himselff from going over the edge?
