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].
(a) What is the magnitude of the average acceleration of a skier who, starting from rest, reaches a speed of 10.7 m/s when going down a slope for 4.81 s? (b) How far does the skier travel in this time?
A ball is thrown eastward into the air from the origin (in the direction of the positive x-axis). The initial velocity is 40 i +64 k, with speed measured in feet per second. The spin of the ball results in a southward acceleration of 4 ft/s2, so the acceleration vector is a = -4 j - 32 k. Where does the ball land? (Round your answers to one decimal place.) X ft from the origin at an angle of 5.7 X from the eastern direction toward the south. 80.4 With what speed does the ball hit the ground?

Please answer all question parts: A Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II jet takes off from an aircraft carrier with a runway length of 97 m and a takeoff speed 72 m/s at the end of the runway. Jets are catapulted into airspace from the deck of an aircraft carrier with two sources of propulsion: the jet propulsion and the catapult. At the point of leaving the deck of the aircraft carrier, the F-35's acceleration decreases to a constant acceleration of 4.3 m/s2 at 33° with respect to the horizontal. (Assume that the F-35's initial direction along the deck of the aircraft carrier is the +x-direction and that the +y-direction is up.) (a) What is the initial acceleration (in m/s2) of the F-35 on the deck of the aircraft carrier to make it airborne? (Enter the magnitude.) (b) Write the position (in m) and velocity (in m/s) of the F-35 in unit vector notation from the point it leaves the deck of the aircraft carrier. (Use the following as necessary: t.) (c) At what altitude (in m) is…

A rocket blasts off and moves straight upward from the launch pad with constant acceleration. After 2.8 seconds the rocket is at a height of 91 meters. (A) What are the magnitude and direction of the rocket's acceleration? (B) What is it's speed at this time? Can you please solve the question using one or more of these equations: v = v0 +at vav = (1/2) times (v0 + v) x = x0 + (1/2) times (v0 + v) times t x = x0 + v0t + (1/2)at2 v2 = v02 + 2a(x - x0)

An object moves in the x-y plane with a constant acceleration of 2i +3j meters per second squared. The object starts at the origin with some initial velocity. After four seconds (4 seconds) the velocity of the object is 2i + 8j meters per second. Determine the object’s initial velocity. Leave answer in i-j notation. Determine the position of the object at time, t = 4 seconds. Leave answer in i-j notation. Thank you for your help.
A fish swimming in a horizontal place has velocity v, = (4.0î + 1.0j)m/s at a point in the ocean where the position relative to a rock is ř, = (10.01 – 4.05)m. After the fish swims with constant acceleration for 20 sec its velocity is v = (20.0î – 5.05)m/s. A) What are the components of the acceleration? B) What is the direction of the acceleration with respect to unit vector f? C) If the fish maintains constant acceleration, where is it at t=2.5 s, and in what direction is it moving?
A pilot flew his single-engine airplane 60 miles with the wind from City A to above City B. He then turned around and flew back to City A against the wind. If the wind was a constant 20 miles per hour, and the total time going and returning was 1.3 hours, find the speed of the plane in still air.
