5. You wake up in a strange room, with opaque walls, and no visible doors or windows. though there is a window on the floor, and you can see that you're in a rocket that has just taken off from the surface of an alien planet. By taking careful measurements out that window you determine that the rocket is accelerating upward at 5.31 m/s^2. When you drop a ball from a height of 2.27 m, it hits the floor 0.290 s later. What is the value of g for the alien world below you? 48.7 m/s^2 63.8 m/s^2 56.3 m/s^2 82.8 m/s^2
Q1.An electron, in a picture tube of a TV set, travelling in a straight line, accelerates uniformly from speed 4.3x10^4 to 9.0x10^6 m/s along a lenght of 2.3 cm. (15) a. How much time does the electron spend in this 2 cm region? b. What is the magnitude of the electron's acceleration?
3. Pilots of high-performance aircraft risk loss of consciousness if the undergo accelerations exceeding about 5g. For a military jet flying at 2470 km/hr (about twice the speed of sound), what is the minimum time it takes the jet to reverse its direction in a circular turn while keeping the acceleration below the 5g safety threshold?
1. A police car at rest is passed by a car travelling at 120 km/h. Three seconds after the car passes, the police car puts on its sirens and accelerates uniformly until it catches the car 1200 m down the road. What is the acceleration of the police car and how long does it take to catch the car? n to travol
A particle travels along the +x axis. At t = 0 s, its velocity is 10.0 m/s and its acceleration is -2.0 m/s^2. Question A: Which of the following statements is true? 1. The particle will slow down and eventually come to a complete stop 2. The particle cannot have a negative acceleration and be moving in the positive x direction 3. The particle will continue to move in the positive x direction, slowing but never coming to a complete stop. 4. The particle will slow down, stop momentarily, then speed up in the x- direction. Question B: At what time will the particle be stopped? 1. t = 5.0 s 2. t = -5.0 s 3. t = -0.2 s 4. The particle does not ever stop Question C: What is the particle's displacement from its initial position at t = 10.0 s ? Please Answer questions A, B, and C
3. Two cars A and B are heading east from the same starting point. Car A moves at 80 km/h at constant speed. After an hour, car B starts moving at a speed of 110 km/h. What time in hours will car B pass car A?
1. Hendrix and Tacey were to compete in a race over a course 2km long. Tacey crawls straight and steadily at its maximum speed of 0.4m/s toward the finish line. Hendrix runs at its maximum speed of 10m/s towards the goal for 1.7km and then stops to tease Tacey. How close to the goal can Hendrix let Tacey approach before resuming the race, which Tacey wins in a photo finish? Assume that when moving, both contestants move steadily at their respective maximum speeds.

You have been hired as a physics professor by some aliens and taken far far away to their ‘planet’. Being curious, you wanted to find out which ‘planet’ you were on. With an alien stopwatch you determined the time for a 2.0 kg alien object released from a height of 2.5 m to hit the ground to be 1.75 s. 1. What is the acceleration due to gravity on the alien ‘planet’? 2. With what speed does the alien 2.0 kg object hit the ground?
