An alien called
UngaBunga from planet
TungaBunga, throws a
ball directly up at a speed
of 20ms-. After 2
seconds, he mesures that
the ball is 30m up from
the ground. What would
be the highest height of
the ball? (Write the value
only in meter without
unit. For example, if the
answer is 20m, write 20)
In 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.
i followed examples in the textbook but i still am deducing the wrong answer :( but somehow i’m getting the right direction value
