Problem 5: a) What is the final velocity of a train that starts with a velocity of 4 m/s then
accelerates at 0.05 m/s² for 8 minutes? b) Once at this speed, how long will it take the train to
decelerate to a stop if it can slow at a rate of 0.55 m/s² when braking? c) What distance does
the train travel while it is braking to a stop?
2) An object starts from rest and travels at a speed of 5m/s for the first 5
seconds. It then rests for 10 seconds before moving out again at 10m/s. It travels
at 10 m/s for 8 seconds after which it returns abruptly to its starting point in 2
seconds.

- 6: In World War II, there were several reported cases of airmen who jumped from their flaming airplanes with no parachute to escape certain death. Some fell about 20,000 feet (6000 m), and some of them survived, with few life-threatening injuries. For these lucky pilots, the tree branches and snow drifts on the ground allowed their deceleration to be relatively small. Assume a pilot’s speed upon impact was 54 m/s and the trees and snow stopped him over a distance of 7.6 m. Use a coordinate system where down is positive and, assuming constant acceleration, find the pilot’s acceleration after impact, in meters per second squared.arrow_forwardTwo objects flies towards each other.
