1) The highest speed ever achieved on a bicycle was reached by John Howard of the United States. The bicycle, which was accelerated by being towed by a vehicle, reached a velocity of +245 km/h. Suppose Howard wants to slow down, and applies the brakes on his now freely moving bicycle. If the average acceleration of the bicycle during braking is −3.0 m/s2, how long will it take for the bicycle’s velocity to decrease by 20.0 percent? 2) In 1993, Ileana Salvador of Italy walked 3.0 km in under 12.0 min. Suppose that during 115 m of her walk Salvador is observed to steadily increase her speed from 4.20 m/s to 5.00 m/s. How long does this increase in speed take?

3) The car that once set the world record for acceleration increased speed from rest to 96 km/h in 3.07 s. How far had the car traveled by the time the final speed was achieved?

4) A ship with an initial speed of 6.23 m/s approaches a dock that is 255 m away. If the ship accelerates uniformly and comes to rest in 82 s, what is its acceleration?
