Transcribed Image Text:9. Pressing the brake pedal slows a car down from a velocity of 35 m/s to 20 m/s in 8.0 s. Calculate
the acceleration of the car (the acceleration is in the opposite direction to the velocity - a negative
acceleration or deceleration).
10. Taipei 101 is the tallest building in the world at 508 m (101 stories). Free fall acceleration is about
9.8 m/s?. If a stone could be dropped from the top of the tower, how fast
will it be moving when it hits the street? Give your answer in km/h.
11. Taipei 101 also has the world's fastest elevators. These can transport
passengers to the 89th-floor (382 meter high) observatory in a mere 39
seconds. The maximum speed of the elevator is 1010 metres-per-minute.
What is the average speed of the elevator in km/h?
12. A bullet leaves the end of a rifle barrel (the muzzle) with a velocity of
4.0 x 10² m/s, 3.0 ms (milliseconds) after the rifle is fired. The rifle barrel is
65 cm long.
a) What is the barrel length in metres?
b) What is the initial speed of the bullet?
c) How long does it take the bullet to travel the length of the gun barrel in
seconds?
