2. 1D Motion / Kinematics

The brakes of your car can provide an acceleration of 4.6m/s². You're speeding at 37.5 m/s and suddenly see a police car, so you slam the brakes. How long will it take for your car to slow down to the speed limit of 25 m/s?

Starting from rest, a car accelerated to 20m/s in 4s. What was the magnitude of the car's constant acceleration?

A car sits on an entrance ramp to a freeway, waiting for a break in the traffic. Then the driver accelerates with constant acceleration along the ramp and onto the freeway. The car starts from rest, moves in a straight line, and has a speed of $20$ m/s ($45$ mi/h) when it reaches the end of the $120$-m-long ramp. How much time does it take the car to travel the length of the ramp?

A rocket starts from rest and moves upward from the surface of the earth. For the first $10.0$ s of its motion, the vertical acceleration of the rocket is given by $a_{y}=(2.80$ m/s³$)t$, where the $+y$-direction is upward. What is the speed of the rocket when it is $325$ m above the surface of the earth?
