1. As the light turns at an intersection, you step on the gas and accelerate uniformly at 2 m/s? for 11 s, at which time you run out of gas. Your car then begins to decelerate uniformly at 0.5 m/s2. The closest gas station is 600 m from your initial point (the intersection). Will you make it to the gas station? If yes, how fast will you be going when you get there? If not, how close do you get before your car stops? 2. A group of freshmen students decide to "lake" their resident advisor (RA). The RA discovers their plot when the freshmen are 4 m away, and he starts running away with fear at a constant speed of 8 m/s. The fastest freshman sprints after him, initially at 10 m/s. But, no doubt from fatigue from studying physics, slows down at a rate of 0.5 m/s2. Does the freshman sprinter catch the RA? If he does, where and when? If not, what is the closest he gets
