The NEXT morning, you wake up in a strange room yet again, and this time you drop a ball from a height of 1.54 m above the floor. The ball hits the floor 0.392 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)? 10.0 m/s^2 15.0 m/s^2 30.0 m/s^2 20.0 m/s^2
A cart is propelled over an its greatest y coordinate? xy plane with acceleration components a, = 6.8 m/s? and a, = -1.5 m/s2. Its initial velocity has components Vox = 7.3 m/s and voy = 12.4 m/s. In unit-vector notation, what is the velocity of the cart when it reaches Number Units
Cities A and B are connected by a straight road of total length 200 miles.Two cars depart cities A and B at the same time, moving towards each other. The A-car travels at 60 miles per hour, and the B-car at 40 mph. At the same time, a fly starts off from the front bumper of the A-car flying at 100 mph. It flies towards city B until it touches the bumper of the B-car, and then flies back, touches the A-car, flies back, etc, until the cars collide and the fly is squashed. The standard trick question is - what is the total distance traveled by the fly? At first sight one would think that the problem should be solved by the series summation, but that’s not necessary - the cars meet after 2 hours, and during that time the fly traveling at 100 mph covers exactly 200 miles. Now that you know the answer, solve this problem using the series summation [1].
Slowing Down: The speed of an object moving through a viscous fluid is given by u (t) = A • e-bl(a) If the numerical value of A (in Sl units) is 8.40 and the numerical value of b (in Sl units) is 1.12. then what is the initial acceleration of the particle, at time + = 0?(b) How far does the particle move in the first 4.00 s?You may ignore gravity. The particle has the same density as the fluid.

For a standard production car, the highest road-tested acceleration ever reported occurred in 1993, when a Ford RS200 Evolution went from zero to 26.8 m/s (60 mi/h) in 2.782 s. Find the magnitude of the car's acceleration.
Cheetahs can accelerate to a speed of 20.0m/s in 2.50 s and can continue to accelerate to reach a top speed of 27.8 m/s. Assume the acceleration is constant until the top speed is reached and is zero thereafter. Let the +x-direction point in the direction the cheetah runs. Express the cheetah's top speed vtop in miles per hour (mi/h). Vtop= ______________ mi/h Starting from a crouched position, how much time taccel does it take a cheetah to reach its top speed, what distance d does it travel in that time? taccel = ____________ s d=_____________ m If a cheetah sees a rabbit 129.0 m away, how much time ttotal will it take to reach the rabbit, assuming the rabbit does not move and the cheetah starts from rest? ttotal = _________ s
Assume you are driving a car at a constant speed of 76 km/h. Suddenly you see a deer standing on the highway and you must put on the brakes. Your reaction time (time elapsed between the moment you see the deer and your foot hitting the brakes) is 0.118 s. The brakes provide an acceleration with a magnitude of 4 m/s2, and a direction opposite the initial velocity. How do you find the total distance traveled?
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.

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?
An unidentified flying object (UFO) is observed to travel a total distance of 42000 m, starting and ending at rest, over a duration of 2.07 s.
