Most important in an investigation of an airplane crash by the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board is the data stored on the airplane’s flight-data recorder, commonly called the “black box” in spite of its orange coloring and reflective tape.The recorder is engineered to withstand a crash with an average deceleration of magnitude 3400g during a time interval of 6.50 ms. In such a crash, if the recorder and airplane have zero speed at the end of that time interval, what is their speed at the beginning of the interval?
A particle is moving with a velocity of 60m/s in the positive x-direction at t = 0s. Between t = 0s andt = 15s, the velocity decreases uniformly to zero. What was the acceleration during this 15s interval? Whatis the signi cance of the sign of your answer?

Two particles are currently in motion along parallel, straight paths in the positive x-direction, between two timing gates that are spaced at a distance d from each other. They both pass the first timing gate with a “flying start”, at t0 = 0, and they move as follows: - Particle A is moving with a constant velocity, vA - Particle B passes the first timing gate with a momentary velocity vB0 > 0, and a constant acceleration of aB = const. - After some time t1, both particles meet again at the second timing gate! a) Write the motion path equations x(t) for each particle in algebraic form Solve the following questions numerically for these parameters: d = 600m, t1 = 100s, vB0 = 15m/s b) What is the constant velocity for particle A? c) What is the constant acceleration for particle B? d) At what time does particle B come to a stop? e) What is the velocity for particle B at the second gate at the time t1? f) What is the total distance travelled for particle B? g) What is the average…

The velocity of a particle is given by v ={16t^2i +4t^3j + (5t +2)k} m/s, where t is in seconds. If the particle is at the origin when t = 0, determine the magnitude of the particle’s acceleration when t = 2 s. Also, what is the x, y, z coordinate position of the particle at this instant?
A particle performs a one-dimensional motion with the position given by the time equation x(t) = 1,3t4 - 2,0t3, where x is given in meters and t is given in seconds.
