An Australian emu is running due north in a straight line at a speed of 13.0 m/s and slows down to a speed of 9.80 m/s in 3.10 s. (a) What is the magnitude and direction of the bird’s acceleration? (b) Assuming that the acceleration remains the same, what is the bird’s velocity after an additional 1.50 s has elapsed?

A jogger accelerates from rest to 5.64 m/s in 3.36 s. A car accelerates from 24.6 to 39.8 m/s also in 3.36 s. (a) Find the magnitude of the acceleration of the jogger. (b) Determine the magnitude of the acceleration of the car. (c) How much further does the car travel than the jogger during the 3.36 s?
