An express subway train passes through an underground station. It enters at t = 0 with an initial velocity of 21.5 m/s and decelerates at a rate of 0.150 m/s2 as it goes through. The station in 230 m long.(a) How long is the nose of the train in the station?s(b) How fast is it going when the nose leaves the station?m/s(c) If the train is 130 m long, at what time t does the end of the train leave the station?s(d) What is the velocity of the end of the train as it leaves?m/s
A driver traveling at night on a country road suddenly sees another car pull out into the roadway in front of him.He slams on his brakes and skids for a distance of 72.9 m until he hits the other car. If the driver slowed with constant acceleration of 4.8m/s² for 4.5 s,with what speed would he hit the other car?
Now let’s apply our definition of average velocity to a swimming competition. During one heat of a swim meet, a swimmer performs the crawl stroke in a pool 50.0 mm long, as shown in (Figure 1). She swims a length at racing speed, taking 24.0 ss to cover the length of the pool. She then takes twice that time to swim casually back to her starting point. Find (a) her average velocity for each length and (b) her average velocity for the entire swim.
c) If the swimmer could cross a 15 kmkm channel maintaining the same average velocity as for the first 50 mm in the pool, how long would it take?
