- You are observing the poles along the side of the road. You have already stopped and measured the distance between adjacent poles as 33.1 m. You are now driving again and have activated your smartphone stopwatch. You start the stopwatch at t = 0 as you pass pole #1. At pole #2, the stopwatch reads 11.8 s. At pole #3, the stopwatch reads 30.7 s. Your friend tells you that he was pressing the brake and slowing down the car uniformly during the entire time interval from pole #1 to pole #3. (Assume you are driving in the positive direction when t = 0.) (a) What was the acceleration (in m/s²) of the car between poles #1 and #3? (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) m/s² (b) What was the velocity (in m/s) of the car at pole #1? (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) m/s (c) If the motion of the car continues as described, what is the number of the last pole passed before the car comes to rest? O pole #1 pole #2 pole #3 pole #4 O pole #5A golf ball is dropped from rest from a height of 8.10 m. It hits the pavement, then bounces back up, rising just 5.40 m before falling back down again. A boy then catches the ball when it is 1.30 m above the pavement. Ignoring air resistance, calculate the total amount of time that the ball is in the air, from drop to catch.Tired, you walk from your house to a local coffee shop to get an espresso. You average a speed of 2.4 m/s on your way there. After your espresso, you decide to run directly back to your starting point with an average speed of 5.6 m/s. Assume you spend 4 minutes at the coffee shop. If your average speed for this entire trip is 1.9 m/s, what is the distance between your house and the coffee shop?
- A Boeing 747 "Jumbo Jet" has a length of 64.5 m. The runway on which the plane lands intersects another runway. The width of the intersection is 24.8 m. The plane decelerates through the intersection at a rate of 5.56 m/s2 and clears it with a final speed of 43.1 m/s. How much time is needed for the plane to clear the intersection?Two bikers are cycling from the Greater Toronto Area to Kingston. The first biker, Merckx, started 200 kilometers (KMs) away from Kingston. The second, Froome started 20KM behind Merckx. Both cyclists start out slowly, but Merckx suffers a bike fault delaying them from starting for 11 hours and giving Froome a head start. Assuming the bikers match the below speed representing the maximum speeds of each biker from the time they begin moving, which biker will reach Kingston first and when? Which of the following answer is correct: a) Merckx in 36.2 hours b) Merckx in 31.2 hours c) Froome in 38.7 hours d) Froome in 35.6 hoursAt an air show, a jet plane has velocity components vx =695km/h and vy =415km/h at time 4.35 s and vx =938km/h and vy =365km/h at time 7.52 s. Please answer A,B,C,D Thank you.
- Solve the problem. A rocket is propelled upward from a height of 112 feet at an initial velocity of 96 ft./s period after how many seconds does the rocket hit the ground?A rock is fired straight downward from the roof of a tall building using a slingshot. If the rock leaves the slingshot with a downward velocity of 11.2 m/s, and reaches the ground with a downward velocity of 34.7 m/s, how tall is the building? How long is the rock in the air, in seconds?Any assistance with this physics problem would be great!
- Two kids are racing towards a toy somewhere between them. Albert has 3.90 times further to run than Betty. Albert is to the West of the toy and Betty is to the East of the toy. Albert runs at a constant speed of 1.60 m/s. It takes him 2.90 s to reach the toy.How far did Albert run to reach the toy?A runner, jogging along a straight-line path, starts at a position 60.0 m east of a milestone marker and heads west. After a short time interval he is 15.7 m west of the mile marker. Choose east to be the positive x-direction. What is the runner’s displacement from his starting point? Enter a positive value if the displacement is toward east of the milestone and a negative value if the displacement is toward west of the milestone.A bowling ball traveling with constant speed hits the pins at the end of a bowling lane 16.5 m long. The bowler hears the sound of the ball hitting the pins 2.61 s after the ball is released from his hands. What is the speed of the ball (in m/s), assuming the speed of sound is 340m/s?
