When an object accelerates at 9.8 m/s2 (or 32 ft/s2), we say it accelerates with 1 g. This is true whether the object is falling under gravity, or due to something else. Using the constant-acceleration approximation, determine how many g's are involved in a football kickoff. The ball is initially at rest on the tee. After being in contact with the kicker’s foot for only 8 ms, it leaves the kicker’s foot at 118 ft/s. Round the final answer to the nearest whole number.

The mass of the Earth is 5.98 × 1024 kg.A 3.87 kg bowling ball initially at rest isdropped from a height of 4.76 m.The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2. What is the speed of the Earth coming upto meet the ball just before the ball hits theground?
An aging coyote (m = 42.1 kg) cannot run fast enough to catch a roadrunner (m = 16.3 kg). He purchases a set of jet-powered roller skates, which proved a constant horizontal acceleration of 15.2 m/s2. The coyote starts at rest 73.2 m from the edge of a cliff at the instant the roadrunner zips past in the direction of the cliff. Hint: their initial positions at the top of the cliff are the same. a. Determine the minimum constant speed the roadrunner must have to reach the cliff before the coyote. b. At the edge of the cliff, the roadrunner escapes by making a sudden turn, while the coyote continues straight ahead. The coyote’s skates remain horizontal and continue to operate while he is in flight, so his acceleration while he is in the air is (15.2i – 9.80j) m/s2. The cliff is 127 m above the flat floor of the desert. Determine how far from the base of the vertical cliff the coyote lands. c. Determine the components of the coyote’s impulse upon impact.

Scientists are experimenting with a kind of gun that may eventually be used to fire payloads directly into orbit. In one test, this gun accelerates a 7.6-kg projectile from rest to a speed of 5.1 × 103 m/s. The net force accelerating the projectile is 6.4 × 105 N. How much time is required for the projectile to come up to speed?
To promote his new single “Itaktak Mo”, Joe decided to launch a satellite into orbit that will intercept allairwaves and play his song worldwide. To do this, he needs to mount his 100 [kg] satellite onto a 750 [kg]rocket. It blasts off vertically from a launch pad with a constant net upward acceleration of 3.80 [m/s2].When it has reached a height of 680 [m], the satellite was released, and the rocket blew up shortly after,due to a system failure. Assume that the satellite was not damaged after the explosion. A. What is the maximum height that the satellite will reach above the launch pad? B. How much time will elapse after system failure before the satellite comes crashing down the launchpad? C. How fast will the satellite be moving just before it crashes?
A 50.0-g superball traveling at 25.0 m/s bounces off a brick wall and rebounds at 22.0 m/s. A high-speed camera records this event. If the ball is in contact with the wall for 3.50 ms, what is the magnitude of the average acceleration of the ball during this time interval? (Note: 1 ms = 10 s.)
A ball of mass 0.3 kg, initially at rest, is kicked directly toward a fence from a point 20 m away, as shown below. The velocity of the ball as it leaves the kicker’s foot is 17 m/s at angle of 47 ◦ above the horizontal. The top of the fence is 6 m high. The ball hits nothing while in flight and air resistance is negligible. The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s2 (meters/seconds/squared). 1) How far above the top of fence will the ball pass? Consider the diameter of the ball to be negligible. Answer in units of m. 2) What is the vertical component of the velocity when the ball reaches the plane of the fence? Answer in units of m/s.
A hot-air balloon weighing 130 kg carries a 21-kg basket and is descending with a constant velocity of 21.0 m/s. A 0.9-kg rock is thrown from the basket at an initial velocity of 13.0 m/s perpendicular to the path of the hot-air balloon, as measured relative to a person at rest in the basket. The stone was observed to hit the ground after 6.00 s. How high was the balloon when the rock was thrown out and when the rock hit the ground?
