The human body can survive an acceleration trauma incident (sudden stop) if the magnitude of the acceleration is less than 250 m/s2. If you are in an automobile accident with an initial speed of 105 km/h (65 mi/h) and are stopped by an airbag that inflates from the dashboard, over what minimum distance must the airbag stop you for you to survive the crash?

Squids can move through the waterusing a form of jet propulsion. Suppose a squid jets forward fromrest with constant acceleration for 0.170 s, moving through a distance of 0.179 m. The squid then turns off its jets and coasts to restwith constant acceleration. The total time for this motion (fromrest to rest) is 0.400 s, and the total distance covered is 0.421 m.What is the magnitude of the squid’s acceleration during (a) thetime it is jetting and (b) the time it coasts to a stop?
#2) For this problem, ignore air resistance and assume the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.80 m/s². Let's also use up as the positive direction. Report answers to 3 sig figs. ECANSU (A) A rocket, initially at rest on the ground, accelerates straight upward from rest with constant net acceleration of 32.8 m/s2. The acceleration period lasts for a time of 3.47 s until the fuel is exhausted. Find the height the rocket reaches in the first 3.47 s. Show starting equations, algebra first, show final equations, numbers last. (B) After 3.47s, the fuel runs out and the rocket is now in free fall as it continues its motion. Find the total maximum height the rocket reaches as measured from the ground. Show starting equations, algebra first, show final equations, numbers last.
Question 28 of 29 6 Points The Pearl Dawn in Durban is one of the tallest buildings in South Africa. You now drop a bullet from the top of the Pearl Dawn while another bullet is shot downward from the same location at an initial velocity of 500 m/s. a) if we neglect air drag, use the how fast method to calculate the final velocity and acceleration each bullet has after 4s. b) how far has the fired bullet traveled after 4s. Explain using words and calculations!! 52

A person falls from a height of 2.0m on earth (a=g=9.8m/s2). What acceleration is necessary for them to stop over 30 cm (assuming they bend their knees)? What if they don't bend their knees hence stop over a distance of 1 mm?
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?
Paul the polar bear is chillin’ on on iceberg and throwing snowballs straight up in the air near the Earth’s surface. What is the acceleration of the snowball when it reaches the maximum height? (Up is the +y^+y^ direction; no air resistance)
You have been daydreaming while studying, and watching student pilots take lessons at the Columbus airport. A plane flying at a constant 177.5 m/s suddenly stalls. If the acceleration during the stall is 9.8 m/s² directly downward, the stall lasts 15.8 s, and the plane was initially climbing at 35.5 degrees above the horizontal, what is the speed of the plane at the instant that the stall ends? Your Answer: units Answer
A car traveling at 33.0 km/h speeds up to 45.0 km/h in a time of 7.00 s. The same car later speeds up from 63.0 km/h to 75.0 km/h in a time of 7.00 s. Let the +x direction point in the direction the car is traveling. Calculate the magnitude a, of the constant acceleration for the first time interval. Determine the distance de traveled by the car during the first time interval. Calculate the magnitude ay of the constant acceleration for the second time interval. m/s² m/s² E
A car starts from rest, then accelerates at a constant rate over a distance of 76 m. It then immediately decelerates at a constant rate over a distance of 123 m. The entire trip lasts a total duration of 21.6 s. What were the magnitudes of the car s accelerations for the speedup and slowdown stages respectively?
