A gannet is a seabird that fishes by diving from a great height. If a gannet hits the water at 32 m/s (which they do), what height did it dive from? Assume that the gannet was motionless before starting its dive.

A red train traveling at 72 km/h and a green train traveling at 144 km/h are headed toward each other along a straight, level track.When they are 950 m apart, each engineer sees the other’s train and applies the brakes.The brakes slow each train at the rate of 1.0 m/s2. Is there a collision? If so, answer yes and give the speed of the red train and the speed of the green train at impact, respectively. If not, answer no and give the separation between the trains when they stop

A red train traveling at 72 km/h and a green train traveling at 144 km/h are headed toward each other on a straight, level track. When they are 950 m apart, each engineer sees the other's train and applies the breaks. The brakes slow each train at the rate of 1.0 m/s^2. Is there a collision? If so, what is the speed of the red train and the speed of the green train? If not, what is the separation between the trains when they stop?
