In 1967, New Zealander Burt Munro set the world record for an Indian motorcycle, on the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, of 295.38 km/h. The one-way course was 8.00 km long. Acceleration rates are often described by the time it takes to reach 96.0 km/h from rest. If this time was 4.00 s and Burt accelerated at this rate until he reached his maximum speed, how long did it take Burt to complete the course?
Do highway speed limit signs refer to average speeds or to instantaneous speeds? Explain.
In World War II, there were several reported cases of airmen who jumped from their flaming airplanes with no parachute to escape certain death. Some fell about 20,000 feet (6000 m), and some of them survived, with few life-threatening injuries. For these lucky pilots, the tree branches and snow drifts on the ground allowed their deceleration to be relatively small. If we assume that a pilot's speed upon impact was 123 mph (54 m/s), then what was his deceleration? Assume that the trees and snow stopped him over a distance of 3.0 m.
A person lakes a trip, driving with a constant speed of 89.5 km/h, except, for a 22.0-min rest stop. If the persons average speed is 77.8 km/h, (a) how much time is spent on the trip and (b) how far does the person travel?
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.
Two trains are moving at 30 m/s in opposite directions on the same track. The engineers see simultaneously that they are on a collision course and apply the brakes when they are 1000 m apart. Assuming both trains have the same acceleration, what must this acceleration be if the trains are to stop just short of colliding?
A care package is dropped out of a cargo plane and lands in the forest. If we assume the care package speed on impact is 54 m/s (123 mph), then what is its acceleration? Assume the trees and snow stops it over a distance of 3.0 m.
Give an example (but not one from the text) of a device used to measure time and identify what change in fiat device indicates a change in time.
A car is traveling at a speed of 38.0 m/s on an interstate high-way where the speed limit is 75.0 mi/h. Is the driver exceeding the speed limit? Justify your answer.
In 1967, New Zealander Burt Munro set the world record for an Indian motorcycle, on the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, with a maximum speed of 183.58 mi/h. The one-way course was 5.00 mi long. Acceleration rates are often described by the time it takes to reach 60.0 mi/h from rest. If this time was 4.00 s, and BL11t accelerated at this rate until he reached his maximum speed, how long did it take Burt to complete the course?
The driver of a car traveling down the interstate slams on the brakes, causing the car to skid to rest over a distance of 152.4 m. If the car experienced an acceleration of -15.34 m/s2 during this time, how long did it take for the car to come to rest?
A car traveling at a speed of 32.1 m/s encounters an emergency and comes to a complete stop. How much time will it take for the car to stop if its rate of acceleration is -4.114 m/s^2?
