1. Kyle is driving his car at 15 m/s when he noticed that he is approaching a stalled truck that is approximately 35 m away. He steps on the brakes and the car stops 1 m away from the stalled truck. At what rate did the car slow down? Assume that Kyle's reaction time is 0.20 s. Reaction time is the time for the person to notice, think, and act in response to a given situation. 4 т 35 т

A dolphin in an aquatic show jumps straight up out of the water at a velocity of 13.0 m/s. (a) List the knowns in this problem. (b) How high does his body rise above the water? To solve this part, first note that the final velocity is now a known and identify its value. Then identity the unknown, and discuss how you chose the appropriate equation to solve for it. After choosing the equation, show your steps in solving for the unknown, checking units, and discuss whether the answer is reasonable. (c) How long is the dolphin in the air? Neglect any effects due to his size or orientation.

a motorist suddenly notices a stalled car and slams on the brakes, decelerating at the rate of 6.3 meter per second square. unfortunately, this isn't good enough, and a collision ensues. from the damage sustained, police estimate that the car was moving at 18km/h at the time of collision. they also measures skid marks 34m long.
