One way to measure g on another planet or moon by remote sensing is to measure how long it takes an object to fall a given distance. A lander vehicle on a distant planet records the fact that it takes 2.53 s for a ball to fall freely 12.06 m, starting from rest.

A runner with a good awareness of her pace runs along a path of unknown length at a speed of 0.1250.125 mi/min and then walks back to her starting point at a speed of 0.04500.0450 mi/min. She neglects to note her time for each part of her path but does measure the total round-trip time to be 50.050.0 min. How far did she run? (Do not include walking distance.)
The trap-jaw ant, found throughout tropical South America, catches its prey by very rapidly closing its mandibles around its victim. (Figure 1) shows the speed of one of its mandible jaws versus time in microseconds. What is the magnitude of the maximum acceleration of the ant's mandible? The mass of a trap-jaw ant's mandible has been estimated to be about 1.1×10−7kg1.1×10−7kg. Estimate the maximum force exerted by one mandible.
An unidentified flying object (UFO) is observed to travel a total distance of 49000 m, starting and ending at rest, over a duration of 3.07 s. Assuming the UFO accelerated at a constant rate to the midpoint of its journey and then decelerated at a constant rate the rest of the way, what was the magnitude of its acceleration? Express your answer in g s , where 1 g = 9.81 m/s^2. 20,796 g s 10,398 g s 2,120 g s 1,060 g s
An article explains that the locomotion of different-sized animals can be compared when they have the same Froude number, defined as F = gl velocity, g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/sec2) and I is the animal's leg length. (a) Different animals change from a trot to a gallop at the same Froude number, roughly 2.56. Find the velocity at which this change occurs for an animal with a leg length of 1.12 m. (b) Ancient footprints of a dinosaur are roughly 1.4 m in diameter, corresponding to a leg length of roughly 5.6 m. By comparing the stride divided by the leg length with that of various modern creatures, it can be determined that the Froude number for this dinosaur is roughly 0.025. How fast was the dinosaur traveling? (a) The velocity at which this animal changes change from a trot to a gallop is (Round to the nearest tenth as needed.) where v is the animal's (...) m/sec.
The Empire State building in New York City is 381 m tall. If a penny were dropped from rest at the height, how many seconds would it take to strike the street below? Air resistance would make a significant difference in the real world case, but ignore air resistance for now.
The NEXT morning, you wake up in a strange room yet again, and this time you drop a ball from a height of 2.15 m above the floor. The ball hits the floor 0.265 s after your drop it. You guess that you must have been taken to an alien planet with gravity different from Earth s. What is this planet s g (that is, the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity on this planet)? 61.2 m/s^2 30.6 m/s^2 45.9 m/s^2 97.9 m/s^2

You are to drive to an interview in another town, at a distance of 300km. You leave for the interview 3 ¼ hours before it is scheduled, planning to drive at 100 km/hr. You drive at that speed for the first 100 km. Then, construction work on the road causes you to drive at 40 km/hr for 60 km. At what constant speed must you drive the rest of the way to get to the interview on time.
A boxer's fist and glove have a mass of m = 1.04 kg. The boxer's fist can obtain a speed of v = 9.25 m/s in a time of t = 0.21 s. Write a symbolic expression for the magnitude of the average acceleration, aave, of the boxer's fist, in terms of the variables provided. Find the magnitude of the average acceleration, aave, in meters per square second. Write an expression for the magnitude of the average net force, Fb, that the boxer must apply to his fist to achieve the given velocity. (Write the expression in terms of m, v and t.) What is the numerical value of Fb, in newtons?
Planet X was just discovered orbitinga nearby star! It orbits a start that is 6.9 times themass of our sun in a solar system just 31.3 light-years away. The acceleration due to gravity thereis 0.07 g. After making some measurements in lab, you start to daydream about travel to other planets. Your spring gun can launch a projectile with a speed of 3.7 m/s. What would happen if you were tolaunch a projectile at an angle of 32 ° abovehorizontal on Planet X? (a) What maximum height would the projectilereach?(b) How far would the projectile travel before ithit the ground? Assume the projectile lands at the same height it was launched from.
A spacecraft starts from rest, and makes a journey to a destination 389000 km from its starting point. It does so by accelerating at a constant rate of 9.79 m/s^2 up to the midpoint of the journey, and then decelerates at the same constant rate of 9.79 m/s^2 for the second half of the journey, ending at rest. How long did the entire journey take? 11 hr 2 min 5 hr 31 min 3 hr 30 min 2 hr 29 min
