A jet fighter pilot wishes to accelerate from rest at a constant acceleration of 5g* to reach Mach 3 (three times speed of sound) as quickly as possible. Experimental tests reveal that he will black out if this acceleration lasts for more than 5.0 s. Use 331 m/s for the speed of sound. Will the period of acceleration last long enough to cause him black out? What is the gretest speed he can reach with an acceleration of 5g before black out? * Note: 5g means 5 times the acceleration of gravity He will black out v = 245 m/s

A ball is thrown straight up in the air with an initial speed of 10 m/s. Ignore air resistance and take g = 10m/s2. What is the speed of the ball when it reach 5 m above the ground? O m/s 5 m/s 5/2 m/s 10 m/s 10/2 m/s
There is a 1500 mile race course. The max forward acceleration is 4 m/s2 and the max backward acceleration is 6 m/s2. I start at 600 m and must go to the 800 m mark (I must travel 200 m). What is an equation for the fastest time that I could get to 800 m? What is the position, time, and velocity of my vehicle?
An object is initially moving at a rate of 14.1 m/s i. What acceleration is required for the object to increase its speed to 26.3 m/s i over a distance of 15.7 m?
You have been hired as a physics professor by some aliens and taken far far away to their ‘planet’. Being curious, you wanted to find out which ‘planet’ you were on. With an alien stopwatch you determined the time for a 2.0 kg alien object released from a height of 2.5 m to hit the ground to be 1.75 s. 1. What is the acceleration due to gravity on the alien ‘planet’? 2. With what speed does the alien 2.0 kg object hit the ground?
At t=0 an object has a velocity of 35 m/s and a steady acceleration of -10 m/s2. Make a sketch of velocity vs. time for this motion from t=0 to t=5 s. Make a sketch of acceleration vs. time for this motion from t=0 to t=5 s. Does the object change directions between 0 and 6 s?
A car moves in a straight line with constant acceleration. Starting from rest at t=0 it travels 8m in 4s. What is the speed of the car at t=4s? I got 2m/s but I'm not sure that's right, I would love a step by step.
Hi. I've tried looking for examples on-line and haven't been able to find any. Grateful for some help direction thanks.
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?
You are an engineer in charge of designing a new generation of elevators for a prospective upgrade to the Empire State Building. Before the state legislature votes on funding for the project, they would like you to prepare a report on the benefits of upgrading the elevators. One of the numbers that they have requested is the time it will take the elevator to go from the ground floor to the 102nd floor observatory. They are unlikely to approve the project unless the new elevators make the trip much faster than the old elevators. If state law mandates that elevators cannot accelerate more than 23.90⁢ m/s2 or travel faster than 19.3 m/s, what is the minimum time in which an elevator can travel the 373 m from the ground floor to the observatory floor? minimum travel time: ?
a truck at rest at a stoplight accelerates uniformly at 5.7 meters per second for 9 seconds after the light turns green. What is the speed of the truck in meters per second after that time interval?
Fast Car: On a hot day in the flats, the temperature is 106.2 degrees. A driver finds an empty, flat stretch of desert that is 1913 meters long and decides to push the limits of his car. He finds the car can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (26.8 m / s) in 4.95 s. Now he wants to see how fast the car can go. Assume the car maintains the same average acceleration until it reaches its top speed of 87.9 m / s. (a) How long will it take the car to reach its top speed? (b) How far will the car travel before it reaches its top speed?
