An Australian emu is running due north in a straight line at a speed of 13.0 m/s and slows down to a speed of 9.70 m/s in 2.30 s. (a) What is the magnitude and direction of the bird’s acceleration? (b) Assuming that the acceleration remains the same, what is the bird’s velocity after an additional 1.30 s has elapsed?
A rocket is launched from the origin with an acceleration of 20.0 m/s2 at an angle of 30.0 degrees above the horizontal. The launch acceleration lasts for 2.00 seconds at which time the fuel is exhausted. The rocket then falls with an acceleration of 9.80 m/s2downward. What is the maximum height attained?
The plane starts from rest (V=0 m/s) when t, =8.0 s. The plane accelerates
down the runway and at t=28 s attains a velocity of V= +110 km/h, where the
plus sign indicates that the velocity points to the right. Determine the average
acceleration of the plane by m/s2.
