A force accelerates a cart from 0 to 5 m/s while it travels 15 meters. Would the same force cause it to accelerate from 5 to 10 m/s while it travels from 15 to 30 meters? (In other words, will the the speed increase by 5 m/s every 15 meters?) Your answer: Yes, the speed will increase by the same amount every 15 meters. No, the speed will not increase by the same amount every 15 meters. The change will only be constant if the object is in free fall.

1. Falls resulting in hip fractures are a major cause of injury and even death to the elderly. Typically, the hip's speed at impact is about 2.0m/s. If this can be reduced to 1.3m/s or less, the hip will usually not fracture. One way to do this is by wearing elastic hip pads. (a) If a typical pad is 5.0 cm thick and compresses by 2.0 cm during the impact of a fall, what constant acceleration (in m/s²) does the hip undergo to reduce its speed from 2.0 m s to 1.3m/s (b) The acceleration you found in part (a) may seem rather large, but to assess its effects on the hip fully, calculate how long it lasts. Note: convert cm to m first.
