A bullet is fired through a board 10.0 cm thick in such a way that the bullet's line of motion is perpendicular to the face of the board. If the initial speed of the bullet is 400 m/s and it emerges from the other side of the board with a speed of 300 m/s. Find the acceleration of the bullet as it passes through the board and the total time the bullet is in contact with the board.

A 500kg car travels at 16 m/s when the driver takes his foot off the gas and coasts. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the rolling tires and the road is 0.5, calculate the acceleration of the car and if the car coasted for a total of 2.0 s find it's final velocity.
A particle moves in a circle with a diameter of 120 cm. If its linear velocity is given by v = 4.5t where v is in mps and t is in s, find the radial, tangential and the resultant acceleration of the particle.
The elevator in an office building, starting from rest at the first floor, is accelerated 0.75 m/sec2 for 5 secs. It continues at constant velocity for 12 secs, more and is then stopped in 3 secs with constant deceleration. If the floors are 3.75 m apart, at what floor did the elevator stop?
A ball is rolled horizontally on a smooth, frictionless table with velocity v0v0. The table is at a height hh above the ground. A tube of length xx is protruding from the end of the table as shown in the attached figure. The tube is not smooth, so the ball decelerates constantly with the acceleration being aa in magnitude. Once the ball leaves the tube, the ball falls towards the ground. a) Find the distance ℓℓ between the point at which the ball lands on the ground and the base of the table (see the figure below). Your answer may depend on v0v0, xx, gg, hh and aa. b)For what value of xx is ℓℓ maximum?

When a volleyball coach releases a volleyball from a height of 2 m above the gym floor, it falls to the floor and bounces back to two-thirds the same height. When it is in contact with the floor, the lower side of the ball is temporarily flattened. Suppose the maximum depth of the dent is 1 cm. (Assume the positive direction is upward.)1. Determine the acceleration of the ball (in m/s2) while it is in contact with the floor and compressing. (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) 2. Determine the velocity of the ball (in m/s) as it leaves the floor on the rebound. (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) 3. What If? If instead of dropping the ball, the coach throws it down (from some unknown height) with such a speed that it bounces back up to a height three times its original height, determine the new acceleration of the ball (in m/s2) while in contact with the floor and expanding. (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)
A boat is towed at the rate of 12mi/hr. At t = 0, the towing line is cast off and a man in the boat begins to row in the direction of motion exerting force of 20 lb. The combined weight of the man and the boat is 480lb. The water resists the motion with a force equal to 1.7v lb, where v is the velocity of the boat in feet per second. Derive a DE leading the velocity of the boat.
