Consider a grey squirrel falling out of a tree to the ground. (a) If we ignore air resistance in this case (only for the sake of this problem), determine a squirrel's velocity just before hitting the ground, assuming it fell from a height of 3.0 m. (b) If the squirrel stops in a distance of 2.0 cm through bending its limbs, compare its deceleration with that of the airman in the previous problem.

(b) If the straight-line distance from her home to the university is 10.3 km in a direction 25.0° south of east, what was her average velocity? (c) If she returned home by the same path 7 h 30 min after she left, what were her average speed and velocity for the entire trip?

In a 100-rn race, the winner is timed at 11.2 s. The second-place finisher’s time Is 11.6 s. How far Is the second-place finisher behind the winner when she crosses the finish line? Assume the velocity of each runner is constant throughout the race.
The driver of a truck slams on the brakes when he sees a tree blocking the road. The truck slows down uniformly with an acceleration of 5.60 m/s2 for 4.20 s. making skid marks 62.4 m long that end at the tree. With what speed does the truck then strike the tree?
A well-thrown ball is caught in a well-padded mitt. If the deceleration of the ball is 2.10104 m/s2, and 1.85 ms (1ms=103s) elapses from the time the ball first touches the mitt until it stops, what was the initial velocity of the ball?
SpaceX plans to transport humans to Mars, but experienced a few rocket failures while on initial tests. So suppose the rocket to Mars (without people on board - another test flight) liftoffs from earth, from rest, with an acceleration of 52.5 m/s2. Unfortunately, after 7.80 s, the rocket experiences a failure and shuts off. It then continues to coast upward (with no appreciable air resistance). What is the maximum height the rocket reaches above the surface?
