A ball starts from rest and accelerates at 0.5(H) m/s2 while moving down an inclined plane 9.00 m long. When it reaches the bottom, the ball rolls up another plane, where it comes to rest after moving 15.0 m on that plane. (a) What is the speed of the ball at the bottom of the first plane? (b) During what lime interval does the ball roll down the first plane? (c) What is the acceleration along the second plane? (d) What is the balls speed 8.00 m along the second plane?
A student at the top of a building of height h throws one ball upward with a speed of i and then throws a second ball downward with the same initial speed i. Just before it reaches the ground, is the final speed of the ball thrown upward (a) larger, (b) smaller, or (c) the same in magnitude, compared with the final speed of the ball thrown downward?
An elevator moves downward in a tall building at a constant speed of 5.00 m/s. Exactly 5.00 s after the top of the elevator car passes a bolt loosely attached to the wall of the elevator shaft, the bolt falls from rest, (a) At what time does the bolt hit the top of the still-descending elevator? (b) In what way is this problem similar to Example 2.8? (c) Estimate the highest floor from which the bolt can fall if the elevator reaches the ground floor before the boll hits the top of the elevator.
A springbok is an antelope found in southern Africa that gets its name from its remarkable jumping ability. When a springbok is startled, it will leap straight up into the air—a maneuver called a “pronk.” A particular springbok goes into a crouch to perform a pronk. It then extends its legs forcefully,accelerating at 35 m/s2 for 0.70 m as its legs straighten. Legs fully extended, it leaves the ground and rises into the air.a. At what speed does the springbok leave the ground?b. How high does it go? We are doing this for physics homework, and I am so lost right now. Can I get some step by step or explanation as how to do this please?

A firefighter slides down a pole in a fire station with an acceleration of 5.29 m/s^2. If the firefighter starts at rest and slides for a distance of 3.6 m, what is his final speed right before reaching the bottom? m/s
9. A small block slides down a frictionless track whose shape is described by y = (x^2) /d for x<0 and by y = -(x^2)/d for x>0. The value of d is 2.91 m, and x and y are measured in meters as usual. Suppose the block starts on the track at x = 0. What minimum initial velocity (moving to the right) must the block have such that it will leave the track at x = 0 and go into freefall? 5.35 m/s 2.27 m/s 3.78 m/s 7.56 m/s
The first supersonic flight was performed by Charles Yeager in 1947. During his attempt, he flew from 119 m/s to top speed, accelerating at 7.29 m/s^2 for a distance of 5251 m. What top speed did he achieve? _______m/s
A particle starts from the origin at t = 0 with a velocity of (16 - 12) m/s and moves in the xy plane with a constant acceleration of = (3.0 - 6.0) m/s2. What is the speed of the particle at t = 2s?
Here we go again this time, d = 3.62 m. Suppose the block starts on the track at x = 0. What minimum initial velocity (moving to the right) must the block have such that it will leave the track at x = 0 and go into freefall? A 8.43 m/s B 5.96 m/s C 5.76 m/s D 3.52 m/s
You throw a baseball directly upward at time t=0 at an initial speed of 12.1 m/s. What is the maximum height the ball reaches above where it leaves your hand? Ignore air resistance and take g=9.80 m/s2 At what times does the ball pass through half the maximum height?
Cheetahs have the highest top speed of any land animal, but they usually fail in their attempts to catch their prey because their endurance is limited. They can maintain their maximum speed of 30 m/s for only about 15 s before they need to stop.Thomson’s gazelles, their preferred prey, have a lower top speed than cheetahs, but they can maintain this speed for a few minutes. When a cheetah goes after a gazelle, success or failure is a simple matter of kinematics: Is the cheetah’s high speed enough to allow it to reach its prey before the cheetah runs out of steam?The following problem uses realistic data for such a chase.A cheetah has spotted a gazelle. The cheetah leaps into action, reaching its top speed of 30 m/s in a few seconds. At this instant, the gazelle, 160 m from the running cheetah, notices the danger and heads directly away. The gazelle accelerates at 4.5 m/s2 for 6.0 s, then continues running at a constant speed. After reaching its maximum speed, the cheetah can continue…
