1: A woman backs her van out of her garage with a constant acceleration of 1.1 m/s2. Assume that her initial motion is in the positive direction.
Part (b) If she then brakes to a stop in 0.85 s, what is her acceleration in meters per square second?
2: A driver in Germany is on a street that has a posted speed limit of vm = 65 km/hr and is driving over the speed limit by vc = 11 km/hr. A vehicle pulls out of a parking place into the street in front of the driver d = 11 m in front of the driver and stops there. The driver immediately slams on the brakes and begins decelerating at a rate of ab = 3.5 m/s2.
Part (c) Enter an expression for the time, t, it will take the driver to come to a stop after applying the brakes, in terms of the defined quantities
Part (d) How fast, in meters per second, is the driver driving when he hits the vehicle in front of him?
