A car is traveling along a straight road at a velocity of +38.1 m/s when its engine cuts out. For the next 1.96 seconds, the car slows down, and its average acceleration is a,. For the next 3.45 seconds, the car slows down further, and its average acceleration is ā₂. The velocity of the car at the end of the 5.41-second period is +29.6 m/s. The ratio of the average acceleration values is ā,/a₂=1.44. Find the velocity of the car at the end of the initial 1.96-second interval.

A driver, driving at a constant speed of 30m/s in a 50 mph zone, is unaware that he is being observed by an approaching police car (coming toward him from the front). At time t = 0, they are 800m apart and the police car has an approach speed of 40 m/s. When will the police officer catch up with the motorist? a) 80 s b) 68.6 s c) 11.4 s
The sport with the fastest moving ball is jai alai, where measured speeds have reached 303 km/h. If a professional jai alai player faces a ball at that speed and involuntarily blinks, he blacks out the scene for 100 ms. How far does the ball move during the blackout?
At a time t seconds, after it is thrown up in the air, a tomato is at a height (in meters) of f(t)=−4.9t^2+50t+3 m. How long is the tomato in the air?
A spacecraft starts from rest, and makes a journey to a destination 436000 km from its starting point. It does so by accelerating at a constant rate of 19.52 m/s^2 up to the midpoint of the journey, and then decelerates at the same constant rate of 19.52 m/s^2 for the second half of the journey, ending at rest. How long did the entire journey take?
While driving down a straight road at 70.5 km/h, you pass your physics professor who happens to be out for a jog. He's running at a constant 4.00 m/s, and you decide to slow down and talk physics with him. If you apply your brakes exactly when you pass him on the road, and your car accelerates at 3.58 m/s2 during the breaking, how far do you end up going before he catches up to you?
A police car is traveling at a velocity of 16.0 m/s due north, when a car zooms by at a constant speed of 50 m/s due north. After a reaction time of 0.700 s the policeman begins to pursue the speeder with an acceleration of 5.00 m/s2. Including the reaction time, how long does it take for the police car to catch up with the speeder?
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?
Let SA = 15t2 + 10t + 20 and SB = 5t2 + 40t, t greater than or equal to 0, be the position of cars A and B, respectively, that are moving along parallel straight lanes of a highway, t in minutes and s in inches). How far is A ahead of car B when t is 0? At what instant of time do they have the same velocity.which car is ahead at that instant
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?
Starting at time t = 0, an object moves along a straight line with velocity in m/s given byv(t) = 98 – 2t^2, where t is in seconds. When it momentarily stops its acceleration is:
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) By taking the slope of the curve in Figure 2.60, verify that the velocity of the jet car is 115 m/sat t=20 S. (b) By taking the slope of the curve at any point in Figure 2.61, verify that the jet car's acceleration is 5.0 m/s2.
