$A$ train is travelling at a speed of $90\, km \,h^{-1}$. Brakes are applied so as to produce a uniform acceleration of $-0.5\, m s^{-2}$. Find how far (in $m$) the train will go before it is brought to rest.

Joseph jogs from one end $A$ to the other end $B$ of a straight $300 \, m$ road in $2 \, min$ $30 \, sec$ and then turns around and jogs $100 \, m$ back to point $C$ in another $1 \, min$. What are Joseph's average speeds and velocities in jogging from $A$ to $B$?

An artificial satellite is moving in a circular orbit of radius $42250 \, km$. Calculate its speed (in $m s^{-1}$) if it takes $24 \, h$ to revolve around the Earth.

Distinguish between speed and velocity.

$A$ ball is gently dropped from a height of $20 \, m$. If its velocity increases uniformly at the rate of $10 \, m s^{-2}$,with what velocity will it strike the ground? After what time will it strike the ground?

What does the odometer of an automobile measure?
