A car was parked on the side of a hillside road at the top of a hill. Unbeknown to the owner, its parking brake failed and a tremor from nearby construction set it in motion with negligible initial speed down the hill. Assume the acceleration was constant down the hill, the car was given a speed ticket by a traffic camera at the foot of the hill, which measured the speed of the car at 21.0 m/s. The video recording showed the car took 35.0 seconds to slide down the hill. How long is the road on the side of the hill? Please keep 3 sig. figs. to ensure your answer is within 5% of the expected answer.

A space probe on the surface of Mars sends a radio signal back to the Earth, a distance of 6.65 ✕ 107 km. Radio waves travel at the speed of light (3.00 ✕ 108 m/s). How many seconds does it take for the signal to reach the Earth?

Wyle E. Coyote hears a constant “Beep! Beep!” from around the corner of a cliff. Thinking it might be the Road Runner, he scampers up to speed and runs towards the sound to the East. On coming around the corner, he sees that it is not the Road Runner, but a truck coming towards him towards the West. The speed of the truck is 25 m/s. The speed of the Coyote is 100 m/s. The Coyote hears a frequency of 5500 Hz. The temperature of the air is 300 K. The mass of the truck is 1500 kg. The mass of the Coyote is 90 kg. Assume the air is an ideal gas with γ = 1.40 and the air molecules have a mass of 4.8*10-26 kg. The Boltzmann constant is k = 1.38*10-23 J/K. a. What is the speed of sound in this air? b. What is the original frequency of the horn on the truck? c. Assuming a perfectly inelastic collision, what is the final speed and direction of the truck, Coyote conglomerate (ignore any friction with the road)?
External stimuli are communicated to the brain by means of electrical signals propagating along nerve cells at a speed of approximately 25 m/s. Similarly, electrical messages are sent at the same speed from the brain along nerve cells to the muscles. Reflex actions are controlled by a relatively simple nerve circuit from a muscle to the spine and back to the muscle. Estimate the reflex time for a stimulus at the knee. (Assume that the signal resulting from the stimulus must travel a distance Δs = 1 m.)
Francine’s hometown, Oas, Albay is 461.8 km away from Marikina City. If she and her family leave their home at 2:00 am and travel by car at an average speed of 60 kph, assuming continuous drive and no traffic interruptions, around what time will they reach their hometown?
A motorist leaves Caribou City at 5:24 am, drives the 235 miles to Shellberg , takes a 54 minute break and then drives a further 300 miles to Springton, arriving at 6:48 pm. (a) Assuming the motorist drives at a constant speed throughout the journey, at what speed (to the nearest mile per hour) does he/she travel? Answer: ______ miles per hour ( b) If the motorist had gone 8 miles per hour slower than the speed you recorded in part (a), at what time (to the nearest minute) would he or she arrive? Answer: _______pm (c) If the motorist had gone 3 miles per hour faster than the speed you recorded in part (a), at what time (to the nearest minute) would he or she arrive? Answer: _________pm
You are to drive to an interview in another town, at a distance of 300km. You leave for the interview 3 ¼ hours before it is scheduled, planning to drive at 100 km/hr. You drive at that speed for the first 100 km. Then, construction work on the road causes you to drive at 40 km/hr for 60 km. At what constant speed must you drive the rest of the way to get to the interview on time.
A space probe on the surface of Mars sends a radio signal back to the Earth, a distance of 7.96 ✕ 107 km. Radio waves travel at the speed of light (3.00 ✕ 108 m/s). How many seconds does it take for the signal to reach the Earth?
A car is initially traveling at 60.9 km/h. The brakes are applied and the car stops over a distance of 23.6 m. What was magnitude of the car's acceleration while it was braking?
A rocket testing center is conducting tests on a new rocket. The test engineer sets up the rocket horizontally on a cart that runs along a straight track with very little friction. She set up a timer and a radar speed gun at the end of the track. She assumed that the rocket accelerated at constant acceleration. Once the rocket reached the end of the track, the timer reported 11.0 seconds and speed gun reported 100 m/s. How long was the test track?
