I am currently learning about kinematics in my physics class. For one of the questions, it asks me to solve a question that asks me to find the magnitude of acceleration. I have found answers ranging between 3 and 4, but everytime I put my answer into Webassign it is wrong. I was wondering how I would find the magnitude of acceleration given the time and distance. Thank you
You step onto a hot beach with your bare feet. A nerve impulse, generated in your foot, travels through your nervous system at an average speed of 139m/s. How much time does it take for the impulse, which travels at a distance of 1.81m, to reach your brain?

Your friend wants to show off how quickly their car can accelerate. So you get in and they start driving. You notice that the pine tree scented air freshener that hangs from the rear view mirror makes an angle of 26.5 degrees with respect to the vertical (straight down) direction while the car is accelerating. Using this angle, you pull out your calculator and find the car's acceleration. The answer is:

True or false: If an object accelerates from rest covering 2.0m in 1.0s in the forwards direction then, even though its average velocity is 2.0m/s its instantaneous velocity (or vf in your equations) will be 4.0m/s at t=1.0s and its initial velocity (vi in your equations) will be 0.0m/s at t=0

You and your friend would like to experimentally determine a value for g, an object's acceleration due to gravity on Earth. Your friend sets a baseball on the edge of a desk, and you crouch down by the floor, waiting for the ball to drop. She pushes the ball off the desk and yells GO! to signal you to press START your phone's stopwatch app. When the ball hits the floor, you press STOP on the app to stop the timer, and see that the time reads t = 0.606 s. Using a tape measure with markings for cm, you measure the top of the desk to be h = 123 cm from the floor. Part 1) Assuming the ball started with no initial vertical velocity, calculate the value of g in your experiment symbolically. Assume that g is a positive number. Part 2) Using your previous symbolic answer and the qualities from the experiment, determine a numeric value for g. Part 3) What is a reasonable quantitative estimate for your uncertainty in stopping the timer, sigma t? What about your error in measuring the height…
