Could I have help with this physics problem
On your way back from the lake, you’re worst friend is driving and trying to post some stupid selfies toInstagram. Just then, you look up to see a train approaching the crossing near the Roadhouse Grilltravelling at 30 m/s, 60 m from the train crossing. You’re traveling 20 m/s at a distance of 45 m away andyour “friend” decides (foolishly) to punch it and try to beat the train. If his reaction time is half a second,what minimum acceleration does the car need to avoid certain calamity? [4.4 m/s2]
A ball is thrown from an initial height of 4 feet with an initial upward velocity of 29 fus. The ball's height h (in feet) after t seconds is given by the following. h-4+291-167 Find all values of t for which the ball's height is 16 feet. Round your answer(s) to the nearest hundredth. (If there is more than one answer, use the "or" button.) initial height ground - seconds O-O

When coming in for a landing, a reusable rocket must fire its engines to slow itself down. The rocket is programmed to activate its engine at an altitude of 1500 meters, at which point its velocity will be – 150 m (negative since it will be moving down). t seconds after being activated, the engine imparts an acceleration of a(t) = 10vt m on the rocket.

i cant figure out these two parts
(a) A soccer player kicks a rock horizontally off a 32 m high cliff into a pool of water. If the player hears the sound of the splash 2.72 s later, what was the initial speed given to the rock (in m/s)? Assume the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s. 24.27 x The time given in the problem can be divided into two intervals: the time for the rock to hit the water and the time for the sound to return to the kicker. m/s (b) What If? If the temperature near the cliff suddenly falls to 0°C, reducing the speed of sound to 331 m/s, what would the initial speed of the rock have to be (in m/s) for the soccer player to hear the sound of the splash 2.72 s after kicking the rock? 23.44 Enter a number.
