A car is stopped at a red light. the light turns green and the driver accelerates at a speed of 3.5 meters per second squared, for 8 seconds. How far has the car traveled during these 8 seconds?
a = 3.5m/s^2
t = 8s
S = ut + 1/2 at^2
=) S = 0 + 0.5×3.5×8^2 = 112 m.
That means required answer is S = 112m

A car is stopped for a traffic signal. When the light turns green, the car accelerates, increasing its speed from 0 to 4.60 m/s in 0.810 s. What are the magnitudes of the linear impulse and the average total force experienced by a 80.0 kg passenger in the car during the time the car accelerates? linear impulse kg·m/s average force N
You are stopped at a red light at a freeway on-ramp. When the light turns green, you use the on-ramp to enter the freeway. The speed limit on the freeway is 60 miles per hour (mph), which is 88 feet/second. Your car can accelerate at a rate of exactly 3.88 ft / s2 . How far, in feet, does it take for your car to accelerate from 0 ft/s to the speed limit? Your answer should be accurate to the...
A truck traveling at 50 km/hr approaches a car stopped at a red light. When the truck is 100 m from the car, the light turns green and the car immediately begins to accelerate at 2 m/s2 to a final speed of 100 km/hr. A) • How long does it take for the car to reach its maximum speed? B)During this time, how far does the car travel? C)What is the distance between the truck and the car 20 seconds...
A motorcycle is stopped at a traffic light. When the light turns green, the motorcycle accelerates to a speed of 71 km/h over a distance of 50 m. a) What was the average acceleration of the motorcycle over this distance? (b) Assuming the motorcycle maintained a constant acceleration, how far is it from the traffic light after 3.1 s?
Two cars start from rest at a red stop light. When the light turns green, both cars accelerate forward. The blue car accelerates uniformly at a rate of 5.6 m/s2 for 3 seconds. It then continues at a constant speed for 7.8 seconds, before applying the brakes such that the car’s speed decreases uniformly coming to rest 178.16 meters from where it started. The yellow car accelerates uniformly for the entire distance, finally catching the blue car just as the...
A car, on a straight road, is stopped at a traffic light. When the light turns to green the car accelerates with a constant acceleration. It reaches a speed of 20.6 m/s (74.2 km/h) in a distance of 107 m. Calculate the acceleration of the car.
Two cars start from rest at a red stop light. When the light turns green, both cars accelerate forward. The blue car accelerates uniformly at a rate of 3.9 m/s2 for 4.7 seconds. It then continues at a constant speed for 10.2 seconds, before applying the brakes such that the car's speed decreases uniformly coming to rest 254.16 meters from where it started. The yellow car accelerates uniformly for the entire distance, finally catching the blue car just as the...
At a junction, when the traffic light turns green, a car (A) at rest begins to roll with an acceleration of 2.2 m / s2. Always when the traffic light turns green (at t = 0), a second car (B) traveling at a speed of 9.5 m / s exceeds the first car. a. How far from the junction will the car catch up with car B? b. What is the modulus of its speed?
A cyclist is stopped at a red light. He starts pedaling as soon as the light turns green and reaches a speed of 8m/s in 3 seconds. His average acceleration rate over the 3 seconds was _______ m/s2.
A car sitting at a red light begins to accelerate at 2 m/s2 when the light turns green. It continues with this acceleration until it reaches a speed of 20 m/s. It then travels at this speed for another few minutes. How far does the car travel in the first 35 s after the light changes to green? Express your answer in meters to one significant figure.
