In an experiment, a shearwater (a seabird) was taken from its nest, flown a distance 5040 km away, and released. It found its way back to its nest a time 12.4 days after release. If we place the origin in the nest and extend the +x-axis to the release point, what was the bird's average velocity for the return flight?
A rock is thrown straight up into the air with an initial speed of 85 m/s at time
t = 0.
Ignore air resistance in this problem. At what times does it move with a speed of 13 m/s? Note: There are two answers to this problem.
An object moves in one dimensional motion with constant acceleration a = 7.4 m/s². At
time t = 0 s, the object is at x = 3.2 m and has an initial velocity of vo = 4 m/s.
How far will the object move before it achieves a velocity of v = 6.6 m/s?
Your answer should be accurate to the nearest 0.1 m.

- Please help me solve this.arrow_forwardIn the children's book Nuts to You, a young squirrel named Jed is snatched up by a hawk. While in the air Jed manages to go limp, slip through the hawk's talons and fall to the forest floor. The hawk travels horizontally at a speed of 4.86m/s . (You may neglect any effects of air resistance as you answer the following questions). One second after being released, what is the y-component of Jed's velocity?arrow_forwardA prankster flips a coin off of the Empire Building at a height of 1054 feet above the ground. The initial vertical velocity of the coin is 1.20m/s. In real life, air resistance would limit the maximum speed the coin can attain during its fall, but if air resistance were not a factor and assuming it has practically no horizontal motion, answer the following questions. (1 foot = 0.3048m) a. What would the coin's velocity be when it hits the ground? b. How long would it take to hit? c. How high would the coin be halfway through the total falling time, and how fast would it be falling then?arrow_forward

- In the projectile motion experiment, a steel ball is rolled down a track starting from a height h above end of the track. The ball flies off of the end of the track and then strikes the floor at some horizontal distance d out from the projection of the end of the track down onto the floor. The apparatus is moved to a different table where the end of the track is now 2.5 times h. How does the new horizontal distance compare to the previous? The new distance is 1.5 d.
