    It usually takes Brian 1 1/2 hours to get to work from the time he gets out of bed. His drive to the office takes 3/4 hour. How much time does he spend getting ready for work?

    You've asked math questions that you should be able to solve before you can even finish typing the words.
    Anybody can give you free answers, but what good is that?
    You can spell, you can use a computer, you can subtract 2 fractions. Is it the subtraction that you think you can't do, or do you have a hard time with the concept of the problem?

    if a ship requires a distance of up to 5.0 km and a time of 25 min to stop from a speed of 28 km/hr what is the ships average acceleraton in m/s^2 in coming to a stop

    matlocmj - pelase don't tag a new, unrelated question onto an old thread. Instead. You should ask a new question.

    However, there are two ways to address this. The easy way is to use the fact that the definition of acceleration is change in velocity divided by time, and here you have been given both of those parameters:



    Be sure to properly convert all your units to meters and seconds.

    The other way is to use the equation of motion:

    .

    Here you have values for , and , so you can solve for .

    The interesting thing is that the two approach give two different answers, which means whoever set this problem up goofed; they over-constrained the problem by providing too much data.
