2. A motorcycle is moving with a speed v when the rider applies the brakes, giving the motorcycle a constant deceleration. During a time t, immediately after braking begins, the speed decreases to v/2. What distance does the motorcycle travel from the instant braking begins until the motorcycle stops? Stopping a motorcycle 1 Let v = 22.0 m/s and t = 4.00 s, calculate the distance required to stop the motorcycle.

3. A sprinter acquires a top speed v while running a race length D. If the sprinter starts from rest and accelerates at a constant rate, he is able to reach his top speed in a distance d. He is then able to maintain this top speed for the remainder of the race. What is his time required for the sprinter to run the race? Running a Race 2 If v = 11.0 m/s, d = 12 m, and D = 100 m, calculate the time required for the sprinter to run the race.

4. On a dry road a car with good tires is able to brake with a constant deceleration of  4.92 m/s 2. If the car is initially traveling at 24.6 m/s, (a) how much time is required to stop? 3 (b) how far does it travel in this time?

5. The maximum acceleration of a subway train is, and subway stations are located a distance d apart, (a) what is the maximum speed a subway train can attain between stations? 4 (b) what is the travel time between stations?
