PLATE NO. 1
Part 2. RECTILINEAR MOTION WITH CONSTANT
ACCELERATION (HORIZONTAL MOTION)

1. During a braking test, a car is brought to rest beginning from an initial speed of 60 mi/h in a distance of 120
ft. With the same constant deceleration, what would be the stopping distance “s” from an initial speed of
80 mi/h?
Ans. 213 ft

2. Starting from rest at home plate, a baseball player runs to first base (90 ft away). He uniformly accelerates
over the first 10 ft to his maximum speed, which is then maintained until he crosses first base. If the overall
run is completed in 4 seconds, determine his maximum speed, the acceleration over the first 10 feet, and
the time duration of the acceleration.
Ans. 25 fps, 31.2 ft/s2, 0.80 sec

3. In traveling a distance of 3 km between points A and D, a car is driven at 100 km/h from A to B for t
seconds and 60 km/h from C to D also for t seconds. If the brakes are applied for 4 seconds between B and
C to give the car a uniform deceleration, calculate t and the distance s between A and B.
Ans. 65.5 s, 1.819 km

4. A train which is traveling at 80 mi/h applies its brakes as it reaches point A and slows down with a constant
deceleration. Its decreased velocity is observed to be 60 mi/h as it passes a point 1/2 mi beyond A. A car
moving at 50 mi/h passes point B at the same instant that the train reaches point A. In an unwise effort to
beat the train to the crossing, the driver “steps on the gas.” Calculate the constant acceleration “a” that the
car must have in order to beat the train to the crossing by 4 sec and find the velocity “v” of the car as it
reaches the crossing.

Ans. 1.168 ft/s2, 99.8 mi/h

5. Car A is traveling at a constant speed vA=130 km/h at a location where the speed limit is 100 km/h. The
police officer in car P observes this speed via radar. At the moment when A passes P, the police car begins
to accelerate at the constant rate of 6 m/s2 until a speed of 160 km/h is achieved, and that speed is then
maintained. Determine the distance required for the police officer to overtake car A. Neglect any
nonrectilinear motion of P.

Ans. 713 m

6. Repeat the previous problem, only now the driver of car A is traveling at vA=130 km/h as it passes P, but
over the next 5 seconds, the car uniformly decelerates to the speed limit of 100 km/h, and after that the
speed limit is maintained. If the motion of the police car P remains as described in the previous
problem, determine the distance required for the police officer to overtake car A.
Ans. 330 m

7. Suppose that a person unwisely drives 75 mi/h in a zone 55 mi/h and passes a police car going 55 mi/h in
the same direction. If the police officers begin constant acceleration at the instant they are passed and
increase their velocity to 80 mi/h in 4 s, how long does it take them to be even with the pursued car?
Ans. 10 s

8. The car is traveling at 30 mi/h when the traffic light 295 ft ahead turns yellow. The driver takes 1 s to react
before he applies the accelerator. If the car has a constant acceleration of 5 ft/s2 and the light remains yellow
for 5 s, will the car reach the light before it turns red? How fast is the car moving when it reaches the light?
Ans. No. 66.7 ft/s
