78. In 1998, NASA launched Deep Space 1 (DS-1), a spacecraft that successfully flew by the asteroid named 1992 KD (which orbits the sun millions of miles from the earth). The propulsion system of DS-1 worked by ejecting high-speed argon ions out the rear of the engine. The en- gine slowly increased the velocity of DS-1 by about +9.0 m/s per day. (a) How much time (in days) would it take to increase the velocity of DS-1 by +2700 m/s? (b) What was the acceleration of DS-1 (in m/s²)?

Which gives a better order of magnitude calculation of final velocity of a rocket starting at rest, accelerating at a rate of 9.80 m/s2 for a distance of 197 km? (only one answer here)
In 1987, as a Halloween stunt, two sky divers passed a pumpkin back and forth between them while they were in free fall just west of Chicago.The stunt was great fun until the last sky diver with the pumpkin opened his parachute. The pumpkin broke free from his grip, plummeted about 0.5 km, ripped through the roof of a house, slammed into the kitchen floor, and splattered all over the newly remodeled kitchen. From the sky diver’s viewpoint and from the pumpkin’s viewpoint, why did the sky diver lose control of the pumpkin?
Squids rely on jet propulsion when a rapid escape is necessary, providedthey have filled their mantle with water prior to escape. An empty 1.5kg squid initially drifting at 1.6m/s pulls in 0.10kg of water in its mantle, then ejects this water at a remarkable 45m/s. How fast is this squid moving right after this ejection?
In a classic clip on Americas Funniest Home Videos, a sleeping cat rolls gently off the top of a warm TV set. Ignoring air resistance, calculate the position and velocity of the cat after (a) 0.100 s, (b) 0.200 s, and (c) 0.300 s.
Neglecting air resistance, why would a ball projected horizontally and another ball dropped at the same time from the same initial height hit the ground together?
When baseball outfielders throw the ball, they usually allow it to take one bounce, on the theory that the ball arrives at its target sooner that way. Suppose that, after the bounce, the ball rebounds at the same angle that it had when it was released (as in Fig. P3.48), but loses half its speed, (a) Assuming that the ball is always thrown with the same initial speed, at what angle should the ball be thrown in order to go the same distance D with one bounce as a ball thrown upward at 45.0 with no bounce? (b) Determine the ratio of the times for the one-bounce and no-bounce throws. Figure P3.48
Anna Shcherbakova is a 2022 Beijing Olympics figure skating gold medalist for ladies’ singles.After warming up she starts her practice by skating towards the middle of the ice rink, 14 metersfrom the entrance. However, this time, one of her friends decided to trick her by pushing hertowards the middle at a velocity of 1.2 m/s (disregard friction between the ice and her skates).Recovering from the shock 2 seconds after, she starts pushing herself forward at an accelerationof 0.5 m/s2. What velocity will she have when she reaches the middle of the rink?
A boy wishes to throw a ball over a flat roofed school house that stands 12 m wide and 7.5 m high on level ground. Assuming that the ball will leave his hand at a height of 5 m above the ground,determine how far from the wall he should take his hand in order to make the ball clear the roof with least effort, that is, with minimum velocity.
A pitcher throws a fastball horizontally toward home plate 18.39 meters away. If the ball is traveling at a constant speed of 40.0m/s, neglecting air friction, how long does it take for the ball to get to home plate? What are the givens in the problem? What are the unknowns? What equation should you use to find the unknown? What is the correct answer?
Compute for the initial velocity of the car if it attains a velocity of 60 km/h while speeding up at a rate of 4.5 m/s2 in 25 m.
