The driver of a car slams on the brakes when he sees a tree blocking the road. The car slows uniformly with an acceleration of 5.60 m/s2 for 4.20 s, making straight skid marks 62.4 m long, all the way to the tree. With what speed does the car then strike the tree?
To pass a physical education class at a university, a student must run 1.0 mi in 12 min. After running for 10 min, she still has 500 yd to go. If her maximum acceleration is 0.15 m/s2, can she make it? If the answer is no, determine what acceleration she would need to be successful.
A dog and her handler are at rest, and are facing each other at a distance of 40.0 m. On command, they run towards each other: the handler runs at a constant speed vp = 2.5 m/s, while the dog first runs with constant acceleration ad = 2.0 m/s 2 until she reaches her maximum speed of vd = 4.5 m/s. a) Calculate the time it takes the dog to reach her maximum speed. Choose t = 0 when the handler and dog start to run. b) Find the positions of the handler and dog at the instant the dog reaches her maximum speed. Choose the coordinate, such as that the handler is at the origin x = 0 at time t = 0. %3D %3D %3D Notes Comments
1. Assume that air resistance is proportional to speed. A parachutist falls from rest. If he did not open his parachute, he would reach a terminal velocity of 90 m/s. With an open parachute, he reaches a terminal velocity of 10 m/s. He opens his parachute 20 s after he started falling. Calculate (a) The distance already fallen at the moment when he opens his parachute; (b) The total distance fallen 40 s after he started falling.

A typical sneeze expels material at a maximum speed of 55.4 m/s. Suppose the material begins inside the nose at rest, 2.00 cm from the nostrils. It has a constant acceleration for the first 0.250 cm and then moves at constant velocity for the remainder of the distance. A) What is the acceleration as the material moves the first 0.250 cm? B) How long does it take to move the 2.00-cm distance in the nose? C) Which of the following is the correct graph of vx(t) if the sneeze expels material at a maximum speed of 44.0 m/s and has a constant acceleration for the first 0.250 cm and then moves at constant velocity for the remainder of the distance?
1. Starting from a pillar, you run 200 m east (the +x-direction) at an average speed of 5.0 m/s, and then run 280 m west at an average speed of 4.0 m/s to a post. Calculate (a) your average speed from pillar to post and (b) your average velocity from pillar to post.
Cheetahs can accelerate to a speed of 20.0 m/s in 2.50 s and can continue to accelerate to reach a top speed of 29.5 m/s. Assume the acceleration is constant until the top speed is reached and is zero thereafter. Let the +?-direction point in the direction the cheetah runs. Express the cheetah's top speed top in miles per hour--- (mi/h). Starting from a crouched position, how much time does it take a cheetah to reach its top speed what distance does it travel in that time? If a cheetah sees a rabbit 131.0 m away, how much time in total will it take to reach the rabbit, assuming the rabbit does not move and the cheetah starts from rest?
A turtle and a rabbit engage in a footrace over a distance of 4km. The rabbit runs 0.5km and then stops for a 90-min nap. Upon awakening, he remembers the race and runs twice as fast. Finishing the course in a total time of 1.75h, the rabbit wins the race. Calculate the average speed of the rabbit
A car starts from rest with an acceleration of 6.0 m/s² which decreases linearly with time to zero in 11.9 seconds, after which the car continues at a constant speed. Determine the time t required for the car to travel 450 m from the start. Answer: t - i S
For 10 seconds, a racer accelerates at a=5t+2t m/s2 after starting at rest. After that, the brakes are applied and the vehicle accelerates at a steady rate of a=-30 m/s2 until it comes to a stop. Calculate the maximum velocity.
