A car passes a sign post travelling at 80.0 km/h and immediately accelerates (faster) uniformly at 0.875 m/s2 for 6.00 s. Determine (a) the final speed, and (b) the distance that the car travels past the sign post in 6.00s.
Added by Cassandra L.
Step 1
\[ 80.0 \, \text{km/h} = 80.0 \times \frac{1000 \, \text{m}}{3600 \, \text{s}} = 22.22 \, \text{m/s} \] Show more…

A car is traveling 256 m/s along a straight road, when the driver sees a stop sign and applied the breaks. The car is 65 meters from the sign. The car reaches (and passes) the sign 8 seconds later. a.) what is the car's acceleration? b.) what is the car's speed as it passes the sign?
