A taxi driver starts his car from rest and drives at a constant speed of 13.5 m/s along a straight road toward the west. After driving for 10.0 s, the car reaches a sharp turn in the road and now travels in the direction of 53.5° south of west. Immediately after turning, the taxi driver slows down his car at 1.22 m/s2 in order to stop and pick up a passenger. It takes 7.00 s for the car to stop after making the turn. Now, instead of the actual path followed by the taxi, assume that there is a straight road from the starting point to where the taxi driver picked up the passenger. How long would that road be?

A car travels along a straight road. It starts from rest and accelerated in two stages. Each stage takes the same amount of time. In the first stage, the car speeds up with acceleration 3.0 m/s^2. At the end of the second stage, the cars velocity magnitude is 2.5 times greater than it is at the end of the first stage. Find the acceleration magnitude in the second stage.

Traveling at 40.2 m/s, a driver applies the brakes to his fast-moving car and skids out of control on a wet concrete horizontal road. The 2000 kg car is headed directly toward a student waiting to catch a bus to campus who is standing 58.0 m down the road. Luckily, Superman is flying overhead and surveys the situation. Knowing that the coefficient of kinetic friction between rubber and rough wet concrete is .800, he determines that friction alone will not...
