1. Andrew and Kevin decide to try out the physics ideas that they are learning and take their baseball pitching machine and a baseball to a 96 feet tall local building. Based on what they have learned the height, s(t), of a baseball, thrown straight up with an initial speed of 80 feet per second from a rooftop 96 feet high is s(t)=-16t^2+80t+96 where t is the elapsed time that the baseball is in the air. The baseball that is pitched miss the rooftop on their way down and eventually strike the ground. a) What is the average velocity of a baseball from t=0 to t=2 seconds? b) What is the velocity of the baseball 2 seconds after it is thrown? c) After how many seconds will the velocity of the baseball reach zero? d) What is the velocity of the baseball t seconds after it is thrown? e) What is the velocity of the baseball as it passes the roof top on the way down?
1. The 5,000kg final stage of a spaceship ejects the 10,000kg second stage. Before ejection, the two stages together travel with a velocity of 200m/s. If after ejection the second stage travels at 50m/s opposite the direction of its initial motion, what is the velocity of the final stage?
1. A scientist suggested that sending people to Mars using a 250-m long cannon would fire people in a space capsule using a speed of 11.10 km/s. What is the acceleration? Comparing to gravitational acceleration, what can you imply with the data? 2. A particle in a constant acceleration has a velocity of 11.20 cm/s in the positive x direction when its x-coordinate is 4.00 cm. If its x-coordinate 3.00s later is -8.00 cm, what is its acceleration (in m/s2)? 3. A boat with a velocity of 27 m/s approaches a marker 98 m ahead. Because of this, the pilot decelerates the boat with a constant acceleration of -2.80 m/s2. (a) How long does it take the boat to reach the marker? Choose the smaller value for time for a quadratic equation. (b) What is the velocity of the boat when it reaches the marker?
1. The population P of elephants in a wild animal preserve changes with time (in years) according to the equation dP - 0.0005P(190 - P)dt = 0. If there are 46 elephants initially, in how many years will the population reach 90? 2. For earth, let g and R be the acceleration due to gravity and the radius, respectively. If another Planet B has one-half the acceleration due to gravity of the earth but four times its radius, then the velocity of escape of that same object placed on Planet B is twice that on earth. (True or False)
1. A pilot in a small plane encounters shifting winds. He flies 26.0 kmkm northeast, then 45.0 kmkm due north. From this point, he flies an additional distance in an unknown direction, only to find himself at a small airstrip that his map shows to be 70.0 kmkm directly north of his starting point. What was the length of the third leg of his trip? What was the direction of the third leg of his trip? 2. A boat can travel 7.3 m/s in still water. It is crossing a 220 m wide river while pointed due east and the river is flowing at 3.7 m/s, north. What is the speed of the boat, relative to the shore? How long does it take to cross the river? How far downstream does the boat end up? 3. A flock of ducks is trying to migrate south for the winter, but they keep being blown off course by a wind blowing from the west at 14 m/sm/s . A wise elder duck finally realizes that the solution is to fly at an angle to the wind. If the ducks can fly at 15 m/sm/s relative to the…
A 1500kg sport car is moving westbound at 20m/s on a level road when it collided with a 4000kg truck driving east on the same road at 15m/s. The two vehicles remain locked together after the collision. a)what are is the magnitude of the velocity of the two vehicles just after the collision?
You are watching an archery tournament when you start wondering how fast an arrow is shot from the bow. Remembering your physics, you ask one of the archers to shoot an arrow parallel to the ground. Unfortunately the archer stands on an elevated platform of unknown height. However, you find the arrow stuck in the ground 56.0 m away, making a 2.00 ∘ angle with the ground. How fast was the arrow shot?
Two cars are initially (2.50+C) km apart on a straight road. If the cars are moving toward each other, car 1 with a speed of (5.40+A) m/s and car 2 with a speed of (7.20+B) m/s, how many seconds will it take before the cars meet? Round your answer to three significant figures. A=8 B=7 C=20
A student stands at the edge of a cliff and throws a stone horizontally over the edge with a speed of v0 = 16.5 m/s. The cliff is h = 58.0 m above a flat, horizontal beach as shown in the figure. (d) Write the equations for the position of the stone with time, using the coordinates in the figure. (Use the following as necessary: t. Let the variable t be measured in seconds. Do not state units in your answer.) x = y = f) With what speed and angle of impact does the stone land? vf = m/s θ = ° below the horizontal
If the ball could continue to travel below it’s original level (through an appropriately shaped hole in the ground), then negative values of y corresponding to times greater than 6.04s would be possible.

A spaceship ferrying workers to Moon Base I takes a straight-line path from the earth to the moon, a distance of 384,000 km. Suppose it accelerates at 20.0 m/s2 for the first 15.0 min. of the trip, then travels at constant speed until the last 15.0 min. when it accelerates at –20 m/s2, just coming to rest as it reaches the moon. (a) What is the maximum speed attained? (b) What fraction of the total distance is traveled at constant speed? (c) What total time is required for the trip?
1) A man flies a small airplane from Fargo to Bismarck, North Dakota—a distance of 180 mi. Because he is flying into a head wind, the trip takes him 2 h. On the way back, the wind is still blowing at the same speed, so the return trip takes only 1 h 15 min. What is his speed in still air, and how fast is the wind blowing? a. what is the speed (mph) in still air? b. wind speed (mph)? 2)A boat on a river travels downstream between two points, 60 mi apart, in 1 h. The return trip against the current takes 2 1/2 hours. a. What is the boat's speed (in still water)? b. How fast does the current river flow?
