Practice Problem 2
A man rides electric motorcycle starts from rest and after traveling along a
straight path a distance of 25 m reaches a speed of 27 km/h. Determine his
acceleration if it is constant. Also, how long does it take to reach the speed
of 27 km/h?

Practice Problem 4
An intercity train starts from rest at station Gambir and accelerates at 0.5
m/s2 for 2 min. Afterwards, it travels with a constant velocity for 10 min. If
then decelerates at 2 m/s2 until it is brought to rest at station Manggarai.
Determine the distance between the stations.

of 𝑣ሶ = −0.06𝑡 2 m/s2, determine the magnitude
of the acceleration of the car when it has traveled
a distance of s = 900 m after 10 s.
