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 car comes to a complete stop from an initial speed of 60 mi / hr in a distance of 200 ft. With the same constant acceleration, what would be the stopping distance s from an initial speed of 55 mi / hr?
Two cars are traveling at constant speeds of 80 km / h and are on a straight road behind each other .. and the distance between them is 7m .. If a stone is thrown straight from the rear car to the front car within t=1.5s.. What is the actual stone speed (ignore air resistance) ?
In 1865, Jules Verne proposed sending men to the Moon by firing a space capsule from a 220-m-long cannon with final speed of 10.97 km/s. What would have been the unrealistically large acceleration experienced by the space travelers during their launch? (A human can stand an acceleration of 15g for a short time.)
A runner is moving with a speed of 2.68[m/s]. How long will it take the runner to complete a 5.0[km] race? Express your answer in seconds. Ignore the time it takes to reach this speed, and assume the runner is always at this speed.
The driver of a car is initially moving at a constant speed of 70.4 km/h when a traffic light turns red. If a 0.520 s reaction time is required before the brakes can be applied, what is the distance in meters traveled by the car before it begins to slow down?
A car is travelling at a constant speed of 100 km.hr at the highway when the driver noticed that the bridge 10 m away is cut off. If the driver immediately applied the brakes upon noticing the cut off bridge, what must be his deceleration so he would not fall to the river?
A boat is cruising in a straight line at a constant speed of 2.5 m/sm/s when it is shifted into neutral. After coasting 11 mm the engine is engaged again, and the boat resumes cruising at the reduced constant speed of 1.5 m/s. Assuming constant acceleration while coasting, how much time did it take for the boat to coast the 11 mm?
My pug/bulldog mix, Georgia, who is blind and deaf, gets a whiff of her dinner. As soon as it registers to her that it's dinnertime, she runs 4.12 meters from the middle of our living room to our kitchen, where she is satiated with her grub. If it takes her 4.45 s to get to the kitchen, what was her speed in m/s to the nearest hundredth?
In 1865, Jules Verne proposed sending men to the Moon by firing a space capsule from a 220-m-long cannon with final speed of 10.97 km/s. What would have been the unrealistically large acceleration experienced by the space travelers during their launch? (A human can stand an acceleration of 15g for a short time.) Compare your answer with thr free-fall acceleration, 9.80 m/s^2
You and your friend are running at each other from 200 m apart. After 10 seconds and having passed the 50 m mark on your side, you see your friend has already gone 60 m on his. Assume he maintains the same constant speed. What will your average speed need to be for the remaining time in order for you to both have covered the same amount of distance when you meet? 7.5 m/s 6.0 m/s 8.5 m/s 9.0 m/s
An object is movine from 13m/s to 20km/h, and it takes that object 3 minutes, what is the objects acceleration or deacceleration?
