Constant Acceleration Problems #5

This activity is designed to test your understanding of constant acceleration.

AB
How long does it take a car to cross a 30.0-m-wide intersection after the light turns green, if it accelerates from rest at a constant 2.00 m/s^2??????
A baseball pitcher throws a fastball with a speed of 44 m/s. Estimate the acceleration of the ball during the throwing motion. It is observed that in throwing the baseball, the pitcher accelerates the ball through a displacement of about 3.5 m from behind the body to the point where it is released.?????
A sports car is advertised to be able to stop in a distance of 50 m from a speed of 90 km/h. Find the car's acceleration.?????
A car accelerates from 12 m/s to 25 m/s in 6.0 s. What was its acceleration? How far did it travel in this time? Assume constant acceleration.?????
A car slows down from 20 m/s to rest in a distance of 85 m. What was its acceleration, assumed constant??????
A light plane must reach a speed of 30 m/s for takeoff. How long a runway is needed if the (constant) acceleration is 3.0 m/s^2??????
A world-class sprinter can burst out of the blocks to essentially top speed (of about 11.5 m/s) in the first 15.0 m of the race. What is the acceleration of this sprinter and how long does it take her to reach that speed??????
A car slows down from a speed of 25.0 m/s to rest in 5.00 s. How far did it travel in that time??????
In coming to a stop, a car leaves a skid mark 80 m long on the highway. Assuming a deceleration of 7.00 m/s^2, estimate the speed of the car just before stopping.?????
