Question

Amy walks at an average speed of 1.75 m/s toward her airport gate. When she comes within 57.5 m of
her gate she gets onto and continues to walk on a people mover at the same rate. (a) If she arrives at
the gate 15.3 s after getting on the people mover, how fast was she moving relative to the ground?

You are driving down the highway late one night at 20 m/s when a deer steps onto the road 35m in front of you. Your reaction time before stepping on the brakes is 0.50 s , and the maximum deceleration of your car is 10 m/s2 . How much distance is between you and the deer when you come to a stop?
A mountain climber stands at the top of a 48.5-m cliff that overhangs a calm pool of water. She throws two stones vertically downward 1.00 s apart and observes that they cause a single splash. The first stone had an initial velocity of −1.80 m/s. (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answers.) (a) How long after release of the first stone did the two stones hit the water? (Round your answer to at least two decimal places.) (b) What initial velocity must the second stone have had, given that they hit the water simultaneously? (c) What was the velocity of each stone at the instant it hit the water?
A person walks first at a constant speed of 4.55 m/s along a straight line from point to point and then back along the line from "B" to "A" at a constant speed of 2.75 m/s. (a) What is her average speed over the entire trip?(b) What is her average velocity over the entire trip?
A cannonball is fired at 175 (m/s), straight up in the air, by accident. Quickly realizing the error, the commanding officer orders the gunners to fire another cannonball straight up to hit the one coming down. In order to be safe, the two cannon balls must explode at a given hight of 585 (m). What is the maximum time (in seconds) the second cannonball can be fired after the first, such that the two cannaballs collide, exploding safely above the regiment? How fast (velocity) will the first cannon ball be traveling just before the collision? How fast (velocity) will the second cannon ball be traveling just before the collision?
You are arguing over a cell phone while trailing an unmarked police car by 27.0 m. Both your car and the police car are traveling at 100 km/h. Your argument diverts your attention from the police car for 2.30 s (long enough for you to look at the phone and yell, "I won't do that!"). At the beginning of that 2.30 s, the police officer begins emergency braking at 5.00 m/s². (a) What is the separation between the two cars when your attention finally returns? m (b) Suppose that you take another 0.400 s to realize your danger and begin braking. If you too brake at 5.00 m/s², what is your speed when you hit the police car? km/h
A treasure hunter follows a map moving 25 km [N], 37 km [W 37 degrees S], 63 km [E 65 degrees S] and finally 15 km [N 17 degrees E]. If his average for the entire trip was 45 km/hr, calculate: a. The total time for the trip; and b. The average velocity of the trip
Two trains, each having a speed of 30 km/h, are headed at each other on the same straight track. A bird that can fly 60 km/h flies off the front of one train when they are 60 km apart and heads directly for the other train. On reaching the other train, the (crazy) bird flies directly back to the first train, and so forth.What is the total distance the bird travels before the trains collide?
A spaceship is traveling at a velocity of v0=(47.5m/s)i^ when its rockets fire, giving it an acceleration of a=(2.22m/s2)i^ + (5.67m/s2)j^ How fast, in meters per second, is the rocket moving 4.79s after the rockets fire?
A child stands on a bridge over the highway and drops a water balloon straight downwards.The bridge is 11 m above the ground. The water balloon strikes the very front of a low-rider car that is 18 m away when the balloon is dropped.(A) How long does it take the balloon to reach the ground.(B) If the car is moving at a constant speed, how fast is the car moving.
From the top of a cliff, a person throws a stone straight downward. The initial speed of the stone just after leaving the person's hand is 9.9 m/s. (a) What is the acceleration (magnitude and direction) of the stone while it moves downward, after leaving the person's hand? Also, is the stone's speed increasing or decreasing? (b) After 0.48 s, how far beneath the top of the cliff is the stone? (Give just the distance fallen, that is, a magnitude.)
When they are apart by 425m, the famous twins Isaac and Albert Neuman begin approaching each other. Isaac is riding a bicycle at a speed of 12.7 m/s and Albert is running at a speed of 3.8 m/s. How long does it take for them to meet, and how far will each have traveled?
A cannonball is fired at 171 (m/s), straight up in the air, by accident. Quickly realizing the error, the commanding officer orders the gunners to fire another cannonball straight up to hit the one coming down. In order to be safe, the two cannon balls must explode at a given hight of 636 (m). What is the maximum time (in seconds) the second cannonball can be fired after the first, such that the two cannaballs collide, exploding safely above the regiment? (s) How fast (velocity) will the first cannon ball be traveling just before the collision? (m/s) How fast (velocity) will the second cannon ball be traveling just before the collision? (m/s)
