A truck driver driving at the speed of 54 km h–1 notices a road sign with a speed limit of 40 km h–1 (Fig. 4.29) for trucks. He slows down to 36 km h–1 in 36 s. What was the distance travelled by him during this time? Assume the acceleration to be constant while slowing down.

Imagine a rocket named Vayu-1 that is designed for a space mission. The rocket has a mass of 5,000 kg and is launched from the Earth's surface. The rocket engine produces a constant thrust of 60,000 N. The rocket accelerates vertically upward through the atmosphere. During the ascent, the rocket's engines provide thrust for the first 30 seconds. After that, the rocket continues its motion with a constant velocity due to the thrust being cut off.
