Fast Car: On a hot day in the flats, the temperature is 103.6 degrees. A driver finds an empty, flat stretch of desert that is 1776 meters long and decides to push the limits of his car. He finds the car can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (26.8 m/s) in 4.30 s. Now he wants to see how fast the car can go. Assume the car maintains the same average acceleration until it reaches its top speed of 84.8 m/s. (a) How long will it take the car to reach its top speed? (b) How far will the car travel before it reaches its top speed?

A 0.26-kg rock is thrown vertically upward from the top of a cliff that is 32 m high. When it hits the ground at the base of the cliff, the rock has a speed of 31 m/s. A) Assuming that air resistance can be ignored, find the initial speed of the rock. Express your answer using two significant figures. B) Find the greatest height of the rock as measured from the base of the cliff. Express your answer using two significant figures.
A runner and a cyclist compete in a race over a straight course 20 km long. The runner runs at a steady speed of 10 m/s toward the finish line. The cyclist zips at a speed of 23 m/s toward the finish line for 12 km but upon seeing that he is already far ahead of the runner, he decides to stop and wait for the runner to catch up to him. The runner eventually reaches the cyclist and continues moving toward the finish line. The cyclist waits for a while after the runner passes and then cycles toward the finish line again at 23m/s. Both the cyclist and the runner cross the finish line in the exact same instant. Assume both of them, when moving, move steadily at their respective speeds. (a) How far is the runner from the finish line when the cyclist resumes the race? (b) For how long in time was the cyclist stationery?

Butch and Sundance are standing on the edge of a cliff, arguing about whether ornot they should jump into the water below. Butch drops a small rock and is able to count to 7-Mississippi (i.e., 7 seconds) before it hits the water. Assume g=10 m/s2.Ignore air resistance.a) If they were to jump, how fast would they be going just before they hit the water?(in m/s)b) How high is the cliff in meters?c) Transform the velocity in a) to mi/hr and the height in b) to feet. Would you jump?

You want to figure out just how crazy a driver your friend is. As one of many stop lights begins to change green, you produce a small metal ball on a string and let the ball hang down. As usual, your friend floors the accelerator and you note that while the car is accelerating, the ball sweeps back toward the back of the car so that the ball’s string makes an angle of about 35 degrees with the vertical. What is acceleration of the car in both meters per second squared and in terms of g’s (an acceleration equivalent to what multiple of Earth’s gravitational acceleration g)?
