The Cassini spacecraft traveled with a companion module, Huygens, that split off so that it could land on Saturn's moon, Titan. The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Titan is 1.352 m/s?. If a piece of Huygens falls from a height of 1.40 m and lands on the surface of Titan, how long would the piece take to fall? Assume it starts from rest. 2.07 s 0.535 s 1.43 s 0.286 s

4. At the construction site of a tall building, a worker is in an elevator descending at a constant downwards velocity of 5 m/s. When the elevator is 40 meters above ground level, her friend, standing at ground level, tosses a wrench straight upward with an initial speed of 25 m/s. Take the time when the wrench is tossed as t = 0. For this problem, use g = 10 m/s². a. Draw a labeled picture with symbols and all relevant values. Quantities that are different should be given different symbols, for example y, and Yw. b. Graph the velocities versus time of the elevator and the wrench on the same graph.

A tennis ball with a speed of 27.8 m per s is moving perpendicular to a wall. After striking the wall, the ball rebounds in the opposite direction with a speed of 20.016 m per s. If the ball is in contact with the wall for 0.0133 s, what is the average acceleration of the ball while it is in contact with the wall? Take toward the wall to be the positive direction. Answer in units of m per s2.
A Bullet with a mass of 5.2 grams is fired out of a rifle. The bullet’s initial velocity is 0 m/sec. Its muzzle velocity is 850 m/sec (in the direction the barrel is pointing). The barrel is 60 cm long. Assume that the acceleration inside the barrel is the same for the entire length of the barrel. What is the acceleration in m/sec2 and what is the time it takes for the bullet to travel down the barrel? (You must solve two simultaneous equations. vf = vi + at ; s= vit + 1/2at2) Acceleration time
OK, yet another strange awakening in a room with no windows. This time you drop a ball from a height of 1.79 m and it hits the floor 0.423 s after you drop it. This time you suspect you are on a rocket that has just left the surface of the Earth, and is still not too far above the ground. What do you deduce the rocket s acceleration to be?
