A parachutist bails out and freely falls 50 m. Then the parachute opens, and thereafter she decelerates at 2.0 m/s2. She reaches the ground with a speed of 3.0 m/s. (a) How long is the parachutist in the air? (b) At what height does the fall begin?
An elevator in a very tall building travels upwards a total distance of 300m (about 80-100 floors, depending on the distance between each floor). For the first 36m, the elevator accelerates uniformly from rest to a final speed of 4.0m/s. For the last 36m, the elevator decelerates uniformly back to rest. For the remainder of the time, assume that the elevator travels at a constant speed of 4.0m/s.
Determine the acceleration during the initial acceleration period. Explicitly state its direction (no plus/minus please --- I want up/down/left/right, etc).
What is the direction of the acceleration during the final deceleration period?
Calculate the total time required by the elevator to travel the 300m.
Sketch a position vs. time graph for the elevator, showing its position as a function of time. The sketch should be qualitatively accurate (i.e., the graph should have the correct overall ``shape'').
Two children are playing on two trampolines. The first child bounces up one-and-a-half times higher than the second child. The initial speed up of the second child is 4.0 m/s(a) Find the maximum height the second child reaches.
(b) What is the initial speed of the first child?
(c) How long was the first child in the air?

(c) How much higher does it go?arrow_forwardrocket, on an unknown planet, launches straight upward. Starting from rest, the rocket accelerates until it reaches 25 m/s then maintains that velocity until its boosters shut off. It eventually falls back to the planet. ASSUME: Starting at t = 0, the rocket accelerates upwards a total distance of 10 m, where it reaches an instantaneous velocity of 25 m/s The moment it reaches an instantaneous velocity of 25 m/s, it travels 30 m upward at a constant speed, then the engines cut off. The moment the engines cut off: the rocket is in free fall From the time it initially launches (t = 0) to the time it lands back on the planet is 7 s The acceleration due to gravity is constant on this planet. HOWEVER you may not assume g = 10 m/s2 Air resistance is negligible DETERMINE: The acceleration due to gravity on this planetarrow_forwardHow high is a building if it takes 9 seconds for an object to hit the floor? Pretend the object was dropped from the rooftop and a man was holding the ball at a height of 1 meter before letting it go. A bomb is dropped from a plane 300m above ground. Ignoring the air resistance, calculate the (a) time that it takes before hitting the ground, (b) velocity of the impact.arrow_forward
- From rest, the cheetah can accelerate at 8.8 m/s2 and reach a top speed of 30 m/s (108 km/h)! It can maintain this maximum speed over a distance of about 400 meters before it needs to stop.On the other hand, the Thomson’s gazelle has a top speed of 70 km/h, which is less than the cheetah’s, but it can maintain this top speed for a while as well. From rest, the gazelle can accelerate at 4.5 m/s2 to reach its top speed. When a cheetah goes after a gazelle, success or failure is a simple matter of kinematics: you will determine if the cheetah’s high speed is enough to allow it to reach its prey before it runs out of steam (or time).You will apply basic kinematics and simple assumptions to determine how a chase can play out. Q2. In the elapsed time that the cheetah started and must stop, what distance can the gazelle cover? (again clearly show your calculations) Why is the 70 multiplied by 5/18?arrow_forwardA startled armadillo leaps upward, rising 0.586 m in the first 0.204 s.

- A ball was thrown on top of a building, downwards towards the ground. The initial velocity of the ball is 2m/s. If the ball hits the ground 5 seconds after the throw, how tall is the building in meters? Assume that this is a classic free-fall problem.arrow_forwardIf a stone is dropped from the top of a tower with initial release velocity equal to zero, it falls a distance d in time t given by d = ½ gt2 where g is acceleration due to gravity (g = 9.8 m/s2). Its speed v at time t is given by v = gt. Suppose you go to the top of a tower and drop a stone. It hits the ground after 4.5 seconds. By how much does it drop in 1 second? How much is its displacement between 1 s and 2 s? What is the height of the tower? Drop = 14.7 m, Displacement = 4.9 m, Height = 19.6 m Drop = 4.9 m, Displacement = 14.7 m, Height = 99 m Drop = 4.9 m, Displacement = 14.7 m, Height = 19.6 marrow_forward(4) An object has a velocity of (5.4 m/s) i – (4.8 m/s) j.
