- We travel from Winnipeg to Regina and back. The total distance is 1100km. The return to Winnipeg is made in a snowstorm at an average speed of 20km/h slower than the outward journey. If the whole trip took 13 hours, what is the average speed in each direction?arrow_forwardThe velocity of a rat traveling on a straight line is v(s)=1/(s+1), where the velocity is in meters per second and s is in meters. the rat travels 10 meters from s=0 to s=10m. Assume s=0 when t=0. 1. The total time it took for the rat to reach s=10m is ____s. 2. The expression for the position as a function of time is s(t)=_____. 3. The absolute maximum (maximum of absolute values) acceleration of the rat during the 10-meter trip is ____ m/s^2. Please help solve these questions, the solutions are given below I'm just not sure how to solve it. (Use paper sheet ,Not Typewritten) The solutions are: 1) 110 2)(sqrt(t+0.25))-0.5 3)1.00arrow_forwardIn 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. If we assume that a pilot's speed upon impact was 123 mph (54 m/s), then what was his deceleration? Assume that the trees and snow stopped him over a distance of 3.0 m.arrow_forward

- A nasty teenager is throwing tomatoes off a bridge at cars on the road below. The height of the bridge is 10 m above the ground. The teenager first sees the cars when they come around a corner 50 mdistance. All the cars are driving exactly at the speed limit of 40 kilometers per hour. Considering g = 10 m/s2 (a) how long after a car goes around the corner must it wait before it drops a tomato to hit the hood of the car at a height of 1.0 m above the ground? (b) After a while, the teenager gets bored just dropping the tomatoes. As a challenge, he decides to throw the tomatoes upward with an initial velocity, v0, instead of just dropping them. Suppose he drops the balls 1.5 s after seeingthe cars, what value of v0 is needed for the balls to hit the cars? (c) Eventually, the teenager gets bored with this new game and decides to throw the balls downward at an initial velocity of 15 m/s. Now, how long must he wait after he sees the cars to hit them?arrow_forwardA car can accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 3.2 s.
