Uniform Acceleration from Rest

A high-speed train accelerates uniformly from rest to a velocity of 45 m/s in a time of 15 seconds. Calculate the acceleration of the train and state the correct S.I. unit.

u=0 m/s,v=45 m/s,t=15 su = 0\text{ m/s}, \quad v = 45\text{ m/s}, \quad t = 15\text{ s}

Distance Travelled Under Constant Braking

A car traveling along a horizontal test track at 28 m/s applies its brakes, causing a constant deceleration of 3.5 m/s² until it comes to a complete standstill. Calculate the braking distance required.

u=28 m/s,v=0 m/s,a=−3.5 m/s2u = 28\text{ m/s}, \quad v = 0\text{ m/s}, \quad a = -3.5\text{ m/s}^2

Terminal Velocity & Non-Linear Air Resistance

A skydiver of total mass 75 kg jumps from an aircraft. At time t = 0, she is falling at 40 m/s, where air resistance opposes her motion with a drag force of 450 N. (i) Calculate her initial downward acceleration at this instant (g = 9.8 m/s²). (ii) Explain why her acceleration decreases to zero as velocity continues to increase.

m=75 kg,Fdrag=450 N,g=9.8 m/s2m = 75\text{ kg}, \quad F_{\text{drag}} = 450\text{ N}, \quad g = 9.8\text{ m/s}^2
