A cyclist accelerates from rest at a constant rate of 1.2 m/s² for 7 seconds. How far does the cyclist travel during this time? A car is traveling at a velocity of 30 m/s when the driver applies the brakes, causing a deceleration of -4 m/s². How long does it take for the car to come to a complete stop? An object accelerates from an initial velocity of 5 m/s to a final velocity of 25 m/s over a distance of 100 meters. What is the object's acceleration?
