(B) The distance covered by the falling box per second decreases. (C) The distance covered by the falling box per second remains constant. (D) I need more details to confirm any of these three statements.

A juggler throws a bowling pin straight up with an initial speed of 6.1 m/s from an initial height of 2.8 m. How much time elapses until the bowling pin returns to the same initial height? Answer without rounding off
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 3450 g during a time interval of 6.49 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 deer is running east to west on a straight line. It runs (a) at a constant speed of 2.5 m/s for the first 24 sec, (b) at a reduced speed (also constant) of 0.6 m/s for the next 15 sec, (c) sprints at a constant speed of 3.1 m/s for the next 1 minute and 40 seconds. Compute the total distance covered and the average speed in mph.

A daredevil jumps off a tall building. He falls freely for several secondsbefore releasing his parachute. His height (h) in meters, ? seconds afterjumping can be modeled by h = −4.9?2 + ? + 360 before he releases hisparachute and h = −4? + 142 after he released his parachute. How longafter jump did he release his parachute?
Under what circumstances does distance traveled equal magnitude of displacement? What is the only case in which magnitude of displacement and displacement are exactly the same?
A dancing policeman performs a stunt by tossing his cap vertically upward with an initial speed of 10 m/s and falls back to his head on its way down. How long will it take the cap to reach the highest point of its path?
A typical jetliner lands at a speed of 160 mi/h and decelerates at the rate of (10.0 mi/h)/s. If the plane travels at a constant speed of 160 mi/h for 1.00 s after landing before applying the brakes, what is the total displacement of the aircraft between touchdown on the runway and coming to rest?
An object is thrown from a level field with initial upward speed 17 m/s and forward speed 9.9 m/s. How far (in m) from its launch point is its landing place? You do not need to put the unit in the answer, just the number. As usual, ignore air resistance, etc; use the acceleration due to gravity as 9.8 meters per second squared.
On a two-lane road, car A is travelling with a speed of 72 km/h. Two cars B and C approach car A in opposite directions with a speed of 108 km/h each. At a certain instant, when the distance AB is equal to AC, both being 2 km, B decides to overtake A before C does. What minimum acceleration of car B is required to avoid an accident ?
