(a) Show that the speed just before a car hits the ground, after falling from rest a vertical distance H, is given by. What height corresponds to a collision at (b) 35 km/h (c) 95 km/h.
A horse trots away from its trainer in a straight line, moving 38 m away in 9.0 s. It then turns abruptly and gallops halfway back in 1.8 s. Calculate (a) the average speed and (b) its average velocity for the entire trip, using 鈥榓way from the trainer鈥� as the positive direction.
A fugitive tries to hop on a freight train traveling at a constant speed of . Just as an empty box car passes him, the fugitive starts from rest and accelerates at to his maximum speed of , which he then maintains.

A driver is traveling at 18.0 m/s when she sees a red light ahead. Her car is capable of decelerating at a rate of 3.65 m/s2. If it takes her 0.350 s to get the brakes on, and she is 20.0 m from the intersection when she sees the light, will she be able to stop in time? How far from the beginning of the intersection will she be, and in what direction?
