4. A particle travels along a straight-line path such that in 4 s it moves from an initial position SA = -8 m
to a position SB = +3 m. Then in another 5 s it moves from SB to Sc = -6 m. Determine the particle's
average velocity and average speed during the 9-s time interval.
2. A car is traveling at 15 m/s, when the traffic light 50 m ahead turns yellow.
Determine the required constant deceleration of the car and the time needed to
stop the car at the light.
3. A car has an initial speed of 25 m/s and a constant deceleration of 3 m/s 2 . Determine
the velocity of the car when ( = 4 S. What is the displacement of the car during the 4-s
time interval? How much time is needed to stop the car?
5. Ball A is thrown vertically upward from the top of a 30-m-high-building with an initial velocity of 5
m/s. At the same instant another ball B is thrown upward from the ground with an initial velocity of 20
m/s. Determine the height from the ground and the time at which they pass.
2. A particle travels along a straight line such that in 2 s it moves from an initial position SA = +0.5 m to a
position SB = - 1.5 m. Then in another 4 s it moves from SB to Sc = +2.5 m. Determine the particle's
average velocity and average speed during the 6-s time interval.
4. Car A starts from rest at t= 0 and travels along a straight road with a constant acceleration of 6 ft/S 2 until it reaches
a speed of 80 ft/s. Afterwards it maintains this speed. Also, when t = 0, car B located 6000 ft down the road is
traveling towards A at a constant speed of 60 ft/s. Determine the distance traveled by car A when they pass each
other.
