3. In Physics, the height of a free-falling object at a given time t is given by h = –16t² + v,t + h., where v, is the initial velocity, and h, is the initial height. A student throws a ball upward from a height of 48ft, initially at 32 ft/s. What is the maximum height of the ball?
A car is moving at a velocity of 20 m/s. The car then accelerates uniformly at 1.8 m/s2. The car continues at the same acceleration until it reaches a velocity of 25 m/s, which is the legal speed limit. What is the distance the car travels in while accelerating?
A truck starts from rest. It accelerates for 10 s at 5.0 m/s2. Then it immediately decelerates for 2.0 s at -10 m/s2. How far does it travel, in meters?
2. A child running around in a field has the following position and velocity at time t = 0: x = 1.5 m, y = 2.0 m Vx = -3.5 m/s, vy=-1.0 m/s At time t = 2.5 s, it has the following position and velocity: x = -2.0 m, y = 1.5 m vx = -0.50 m/s, v, = 2.0 m/s Using this information, find the child's average velocity and average acceleration during that time interval. Write your answers in unit vector notation.
A load of bricks is lowered by a crane at a steady velocity of 5.0 m/s when one brick falls off 20.0 m above the ground. 9. What is its speed just before it hits the ground? 10. How long does it take to reach the ground? (Assume acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s²)
A motorist traveling at 25.0 m/s passes a stationary police car. The police car gives chase 7.0 s later, accelerating at 3.0 m/s. How long (in seconds) after giving chase will the police car catch the motorist?
I need help solving this question. A rocket starting from rest rises vertically and accelerates at a constant rate of 13 m/s2 for 7 min. At this point the engine of the rocket accidently fails and completely shuts down. (Neglect air resistance and any variation in the acceleration due to gravity) a) What is the speed of the rocket when the engine shuts down? b) How high is the rocket above the ground at the point where the engine shuts down? c) How much higher will the rocket rise after the engine fails? d) What is the total time of the rocket in air? e) What is the average speed of the rocket for the entire trip?
A police car waits in hiding slightly off the highway. A speeding car is spotted by the police car doing 40 m/s. At the instant the speeding car passes the police car, the police car accelerates from rest at 4 m/s² to catch the speeding car. How long does it take the police car to catch the speeding car?
a runner, from rest, in a 150m race accelerates uniformly for the first 23m then runs with constant velocity. If the runner's time for the first 23m is 5.4 seconds. what is:1. acceleration? 2. final velocity? 3. time on the race?
