Which of the following statements is true? (a) If a car is traveling eastward, its acceleration must be eastward. (b) If a car is slowing down, its acceleration must be negative. (c) A particle with constant acceleration can never stop and stay stopped.
A motorist drives along a straight road at a constant speed of 15.0 m/s. Just as she passes a parked motorcycle police officer, the officer starts to accelerate at 2.00 m/s2 to overtake her. Assuming that the officer maintains this acceleration, (a) determine the time interval required for the police officer to reach the motorist. Find (b) the speed and (c) the total displacement of the officer as he overtakes the motorist.
A pilot flies in a straight path for 1 h 30 min. She then makes a course correction, heading 10 degrees to the right of her original course, and flies 2 h in the new direction. If she maintains a constant speed of 635 mi/h, how far is she from her starting position? _____ mi
A jetliner, traveling northward, is landing with a speed of 57.5 m/s. Once the jet touches down, it has 821 m of runway in which to reduce its speed to 13.8 m/s. Compute the average acceleration (magnitude and direction) of the plane during landing (take the direction of the plane's motion as positive).
An adult on a bicycle approaches a stop sign and applies the brakes to slow to a stop. If the bicycle and adult were originally traveling at 7.36 m/s and the brakes cause a deceleration of magnitude 2.79 m/s2, what distance is required for the person to stop the bicycle?
A car has an average highway speed of 90 km/h or 25 m/s. At this speed; how long will it take to drive to Kenora which is 190 km away? (Be sure to use common units.)
A pilot flies in a straight path for 1 h 30 min. She then makes a course correction, heading 12° to the right of her original course, and flies 2 h in the new direction. If she maintains a constant speed of 900 mi/h, how far is she from her starting position? (Round your answer to the nearest mile.)
A F35 fighter-jet is taking off straight up with a constant acceleration from ground 15.1 seconds after takeoff, a used fuel tank is dropped off from the plane. The tank hits the ground 31.9 later. What was acceleration in unit of m/s2 of the fighter jet? Use g = 10 m/s2 in computation for simplicity.
