You are on a planet that has an acceleration due to gravity of g = 7.0 m/s² and want to jump safely into the methane lakes below after leaping from a 11.2 meter high-cliff. If there is a ledge right at the bottom of this cliff that you want to avoid, so as to land safely in the liquid methane, that is 1.13 m wide, and assuming your initial velocity is directed entirely along the x-axis, how fast (in m/s) do you need to be running in order to land in the liquid methane?

Hi, I need help with this physcis problem. I've gone over it multiple times and can't firgure it out. Anyway you can help? A car, initially at rest, accelerates at a constant rate of 2 m/s2 due east (choose east as the positive direction; round your answer to the nearest meter per second; include units)What is its velocity after 1 second? What is its velocity after 2 seconds? What is its velocity after 3 seconds? What is its velocity after 4 seconds? What is its velocity after 5 seconds? What is its velocity after 9 seconds?

A meter stick is held vertically above your hand, with the lower end between your thumb and first finger. When you see the meter stick released, you grab it with those two fingers. You can calculate your reaction time from the distance the meter stick falls, read directly from the point where your fingersgrabbed it. (a) Derive a relationship for your reaction time in terms of this measured distance, d. (b) If the measured distance is 17.6 cm, what is your reaction time?

. When we estimate distances from velocity data, it is some- times necessary to use times fo, f1, fz, fz, ... that are not equally spaced. We can still estimate distances using the time periods At; = ti – ti-1. For example, on May 7, 1992, the space shuttle Endeavour was launched on mission STS-49, the purpose of which was to install a new perigee kick motor in an Intelsat communications satellite. The table, provided by NASA, gives the velocity data for the shuttle between liftoff and the jettisoning of the solid rocket boosters. Use these data to estimate the height above the earth's surface of the space shuttle Endeavour, 62 seconds after liftoff.

From approximately what floor of a building must a car be dropped from an at rest position so that it reaches a speed of 80.7ft/s (55 mi/h) when it hits the ground? Each floor is 12ft. higher than the one below it. (Please make the answer visible because the first one the answer displays black and i cant see what was the answer.)
