- An constant applied force of 40.1 N lifts an 2.50 kg mass straight up, resulting in a final speed of 3.6 m/s. What distance did the mass move if it was initially at rest?arrow_forwardA child with mass of 16.5 kg stands on the edge of a park bench and leaps into the air. Her initial speed is 2.4 m/s directed at an angle of 30 degrees above the horizontal. After 0.28 seconds what is the horizontal component of her velocity in m/s?arrow_forwardAn airliner of mass 1.70 * 105 kg lands at a speed of 75.0 m>s. As it travels along the runway, the combined effects of air resistance, friction from the tires, and reverse thrust from the engines produce a constant force of 2.90 * 105 N opposite to the airliner’s motion. What distance along the runway does the airliner travel before coming to a halt?arrow_forward

- A clever coyote uses rocket powered skates to try to catch a roadrunner. The mass of the coyote is 38.1 kg. If the coyote starts from rest, and accelerates to a final speed of 26 m/s in a distance of 2.4 m, how much thrust force did the rockets excert to get him to his final speed? Assume this thrust is constant over the 2.4 m.arrow_forwardA bowling ball weighing 61.5 N initially moves at a speed of 4.00 m/s.
