Example problem one:
A runway is 100. m long. A small plane must reach 200. km/h to attain flight. The plane can accelerate at 12.0 m/s2. Will the plane get off the runway and fly or will it crash because it ran out of runway?
Answer
Example problem two:
How long does it take a car to travel 132 meters if it accelerates from rest at 6.00 m/s2?
Answer
Example problem three:
How long does it take a car to travel 534 meters if it accelerates from 20 m/s at 3 m/s2?
Answer
Example problem four:
A driver is cruising along the interstate at 65.0 mph. All of the sudden, a deer jumps out of the woods a good distance in front of him. The driver slams on his brakes anyway. Fortunately, there is no one behind the driver and he has good brakes. The drivers reaction time is .500 seconds. The brakes decelerate the car at 8.00 m/s2. The driver manages to stop before hitting the deer. How far did the car travel from the moment that the driver saw the deer to the time that the car came to a stop?
