A hot-air balloon is drifting in level flight due east at 3.0 m/s due to a light wind. The pilot suddenly notices that the balloon must gain 20 m of altitude in order to clear the top of a hill 130 m to the east. How much time does the pilot have to make the altitude change without crashing into the hill? What minimum, constant, upward acceleration is needed in order to clear the hill?
a soldier fires an anti-tank missile at a stationary tank 4850 meters distant. The missile is fired with an initial speed of 28.5 m/s and accelerates with a constant acceleration of 18.6 m/s^2 for 6.42 s. The missile then continues on with a constant speed until it hits its target. What is the total time that it took the missile to hit the target from the moment it was launched?
Initially at rest, John catches a football at the 20 yard line, and immediately begins running forward with an acceleration of 2.3 m/s/s. At the instant John caught the ball, Bill (a player on the other team) happens to be 18.9 m away and he is running directly toward John at a constant 5.7 m/s. If the players run directly toward each other, then how far from the 20 yard line will Bill tackle John?
