You will be diving from the 5m (highest) platform at the University of Toronto Varsity Pool. You know that your acceleration while falling will be the acceleration of gravity, 9.81m/s2 , but you’re wondering about the rate at which you’ll be slowing down once you enter the water – and really – will it hurt. Science has shown us that 2 times the acceleration of gravity is exhilarating (like a roller coaster), but at 3 times the acceleration of gravity most people are uncomfortable. You estimate that it will take 0.64s to stop once you enter the water. You and your friends decide to figure out what your acceleration will be before you commit to making the dive.a) What will your acceleration in the water be?b) Will it hurt?arrow_forwardA circular racetrack has a distance of 755 m.

If she maintains the speed of the car to be 120 kph, determine the magnitude of the total acceleration of the car after 5s. c. Upon accelerating to 120 kph, will the car pass its starting point?

Let’s examine the stopping of a car in several different situations. a). The crossing guard holds up her stop sign, and the driver is paying attention well. The car moves at a constant velocity of 11 m/s for 2.3 seconds while the driver reacts, then slows down at a constant rate of -4.5 m/s2 . What is the stopping distance for the car in this situation? b). A child appears to be running into the street ahead. It takes 2.3 seconds for the driver to react and begin to brake, but this time at a rate of -7.5 m/s2 . What is the stopping distance for the car in this situation? c). The driver is looking at her phone and has a total reaction time of 4.6 seconds as the car is moving at a constant speed of 11 m/s.

- Cheetahs have the highest top speed of any land animal, but they usually fail in their attempts to catch their prey because their endurance is limited. They can maintain their maximum speed of 30 m/s for only about 15 s before they need to stop.Thomson’s gazelles, their preferred prey, have a lower top speed than cheetahs, but they can maintain this speed for a few minutes. When a cheetah goes after a gazelle, success or failure is a simple matter of kinematics: Is the cheetah’s high speed enough to allow it to reach its prey before the cheetah runs out of steam?The following problem uses realistic data for such a chase.A cheetah has spotted a gazelle. The cheetah leaps into action, reaching its top speed of 30 m/s in a few seconds. At this instant, the gazelle, 160 m from the running cheetah, notices the danger and heads directly away. The gazelle accelerates at 4.5 m/s2 for 6.0 s, then continues running at a constant speed. After reaching its maximum speed, the cheetah can continue…arrow_forwardTo help travelers get around the airport, a shuttle was built between two terminals.
