The average person passes out at an acceleration of 7g (that is, seven times the gravitational acceleration on earth).Suppose the car is designated to accelerate at this rate. How much time would be required for the car to accelerate from rest to 61.3 miles per hour?
A test rocket is fired vertically upward from a well. A catapult gives it initial speed 60 m/s at ground level. Its engines then fire and it accelerates upward at 5.0 m/s² until it reaches an altitude of 1,100 m. At that point its engines fail and the rocket goes into free-fall, with an acceleration of g=9.80 m/s². What is its velocity just before it collides with the Earth? (You will need to consider the motion while the engine is operating separately from the free-fall motion.) [Give your answer in m/s to the nearest 0.1 m/s]

A movie stunt woman takes a running jump from the roof of one building to that of a lower building. She leaves the taller building traveling perfectly horizontally at 6.1 m/s and just makes it to the edge of the roof of the lower building. The horizontal gap between the buildings is 2.8 m. The difference in height between the two buildings is 1.0 m O 1.4 m 2.3 m 2.8 m
Suppose that in the future humans can travel to different earth like planets within our galaxy. You take a trip to a new planet with a different gravitational acceleration than earth. To test this gravitational acceleration, you decide to drop a ball a distance of 2 meters. You measure how long it takes the ball to fall 2.0 meter multiple times and take an average. The average drop time is 0.52 seconds. What is the approximate magnitude of the gravitational acceleration of the planet (in units of m/s squared)?

A boat running at its top speed takes 3.0 hours to travel 12 km down a river. It then takes 5.0 hours to return to its starting place. What is the velocity of the river? (Answer should look like '0.35 km/h'. I know bad units.)
A woman rides on a Ferris wheel of radius 16m that maintains the same speed throughout its motion. To better understand physics, she takes along a digital bathroom scale (with memory) and sits on it. When she gets off the ride, she uploads the scale readings to a computer and creates a graph of scale reading versus time. (Figure 1) Note that the graph has a minimum value of 510N and a maximum value of 666N. The acceleration due to gravity, g=9.80m/s2. What is the woman's mass?
