A Lamborghini Aventador travels in a straight line along a road. Its position from a stop sign is given as a function of time by x(t) = at4 − bt6, where a = 4.50 m/s4, and b = 0.0200 m/s6. Determine the instant when the car is at rest again, together with its acceleration at that instant.
The driver of a car slams on the brakes when he sees a tree blocking the road. The car slows uniformly with an acceleration of 5.60 m/s2 for 4.20 s, making straight skid marks 62.4 m long, all the way to the tree. With what speed does the car then strike the tree?
a parachutist opens his chute at time t=0, while falling vertically at a speed of 50.0 m/s. From the combined effects of gravity and air resistance, he is subject to anupward acceleration of ay= (40/T)e-t/T where T=6.8s. Find the parachutist's speed 10s after the chute is opened and the distance fallen during that period of time.
A driver of a car slams on the brakes when he sees a tree blocking the road. The car slows uniformly with an acceleration of 5.60 m/s2 for 4 seconds, making straight skid marks 62.4 m long, all the way to the tree. With what speed does the car then strike the tree?
You throw a baseball directly upward at timet=0 at an initial speed of 12.3 m/s. The maximum height is 7.72 m. At what time does the ball pass throughhalf the maximum height?Ignore air resistance and assume g=9.8 m/s
Starting from rest, a particle first accelerates at acceleration a through a distance d, then it continuesat constant speed for time t, and finally decelerates at a/4 before coming to rest. If the total distancetraversed is 20d, then d can be written as d = φt^2 , what is φ?
A bicyclist is practicing to increase his endurance for a one-hour trip. He has an average speed of 30 m/s in the first 30 min. If the cyclist wants an average speed of 40 m/s for the entire trip, by how much does he need to increase his average speed in the last 30 minutes?
A jet plane comes in for a landing with a speed of 100 m/s, and its acceleration can have a maximum magnitude of 5.00 m/s^2 as it comes to rest, from the instant the plane touches the runway, what is the minimum time interval needed before it can come to rest?
The driver of a truck slams on the brakes when he sees a tree blocking the road. The truck slows down uniformly with acceleration −5.85 m/s2 for 4.20 s, making skid marks 66.4 m long that end at the tree. With what speed does the truck then strike the tree?
An rock is thrown straight up with an initial velocity of 18.5 m/s. What maximum height will the rock reach before starting to fall downward? (Take acceleration due to gravity as 9.80 m/s2.)
If a ball is thrown straight up into the air with an initial velocity of 70 ft/s, it height in feet after ? second is given by y=70t−16t^2. Find the average velocity for the time period begining when t=2 and lasting 0.1 seconds = 0.01 seconds= 0.001 seconds= Finally based on the above results, guess what the instantaneous velocity of the ball is when ?=2.
Recall the famous experiment of Galileo Galilei on top of the leaning tower of Pisa? If he accidentally dropped one stone 1.0 s ahead of the other, with what initial velocity (in m/s) must the second stone would have to be thrown if the two stones would hit the ground at the same time? Note: The tower is 54 m high.
