Directions: It is a Problem-Solving test, thus, you need to show your solutions in solving the problem. A man driving his car into a 20.0-foot garage with a velocity of 20.0 mi/h applies the brakes, producing a constant deceleration. Find a) the smallest deceleration necessary to avoid striking the back wall of the garage; and b) how many seconds it takes for the car to come to rest?

In 1967, New Zealander Burt Munro set the world record for an Indian motorcycle, on the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, with a maximum speed of 183.58 mi/h. The one‐way course was 5.00 mi long. Acceleration rates are often described by the time it takes to reach 60.0 mi/h from rest. If this time was 4.00 s, and Burt accelerated at this rate until he reached his maximum speed, a. how long did it take Burt to complete the course? b. Sketch position vs time, velocity vs. time, and acceleration vs. time graphs for the race.
A bus initially at a bus stop accelerates continuously for a kilometer, taking a minute and a half. Upon closing in on the next stop, the driver then begins to hit the brakes until it reaches a full stop in 8 seconds. Find the total distance that the bus traveled and the velocity of the bus just before it begins decelerating.

A polar bear starts at the North Pole. It travels 1.0 km south, then 1.0 km east, and then returns to its starting point. This trip takes 0.75 hr. a) What was the bear's average speed? b) What was the bear's average velocity?
Two motor vehicles, BMW and Ducati, are driving at SLEX southbound lane. At 9:00:00 am they are 100 meters apart and both having a velocity of 100 km/hr with BMW on the lead. The BMW suddenly decelerates at a constant rate of 5m/s while the Ducati retains its velocity. a) How many seconds after 9:00 am will the Ducati start to overtake the BMW? Express your answer in unit of second. b)How much distance has the BMW travelled from 9:00 am to the moment the Ducati starts to overtake? Express your answer in unit of meter. c) How much distance has the Ducati travelled from 9:00 am to the moment it starts to overtake the BMW? Express your answer in unit of meter.
