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?

. A jeep is traveling on a straight road and it leaves a junction at time t = 0 second. It is then accelerates at 4 m/s 2 for 4 seconds. Suddenly, when the driver shifting the gears, there is no acceleration of the jeep for 1 second. After that, it is continue to accelerates at 5.5 m/s 2 for 5 seconds and maintain the speed it reached. On the other hand, a car leaves at the same junction as...
