A hockey player is standing on his skates on a frozen pond when an opposing player, moving with a uniform speed of 11 m/s, skates by with the puck. After 2.8 s, the first player makes up his mind to chase his opponent. If he accelerates uniformly at 4.4 m/s², how long does it take him to catch his opponent?

My sable-colored Siberian husky, Samba, loves to run after huge objects (for instance, tree branches). I decide to chunk a 6 foot long stick for her to run after and bring back to me. I throw the stick at 1.45 ft/s in 2.14 s. In feet and to two decimal places, how far away did the stick land?
A landscape architect is planning an artificial waterfall in a city park. Water flowing at 1.70 m/s will leave the end of a horizontal channel at the top of a vertical wall h = 2.35 m high, and from there it will fall into a pool (Fig. P3.42). (a) Will the space behind the waterfall be wide enough for a pedestrian walkway? (b) To sell her plan to the city council, the architect wants to build a model to standard scale, which is one-twelfth actual size. How fast should the water flow in the channel in the model?

In two or more complete sentences, explain how to find the time it takes for a rocket following the path h(x)=−3x^2+18x to hit the ground.
Squids rely on jet propulsion when a rapid escape is necessary, providedthey have filled their mantle with water prior to escape. An empty 1.5kg squid initially drifting at 1.6m/s pulls in 0.10kg of water in its mantle, then ejects this water at a remarkable 45m/s. How fast is this squid moving right after this ejection?
I was standing on the side of a 10-m foot bridge, holding a ball while watching a car approaching the bridge at uniform speed. When the car was 15 meters away from where I was standing, the ball that I was holding slipped in my hand and the car arrived at the bridge when the ball hit the ground. What was the speed of the train? ( Assume that the final velocity of the ball is NOT zero)
A bomb is designed to explode 4.00 s after it is armed. The bomb is launched from earth and accelerated to an unknown final speed. After reaching its final speed, however, the bomb is observed by people on earth to explode 6.5 s after it is armed. What is the final speed of the bomb just before it explodes? a) 0.933c b) 0.882c c) 0.981c d) 0.788c e) 0.539c

Thor drops his hammer with a mass equal to 300 billion elephants off of Stark Tower (425 m). How fast will it be traveling just before it strikes the ground? part b - Tony Stark drops his lucky penny at the same time. How fast will his lucky penny be traveling just before it strikes the ground?
Bryce, a mouse lover, keeps his four pet mice in a roomy cage, where they spend much of their spare time, when they're not sleeping or eating, joyfully scampering about on the cage's floor. Bryce tracks his mice's health diligently and just now recorded their masses as 0.0109 kg, 0.0175 kg, 0.0137 kg, and 0.0189 kg. At this very instant, the ?‑ and ?‑components of the mice's velocities are, respectively, (0.569 m/s,−0.521 m/s), (−0.805 m/s,−0.619 m/s), (0.321 m/s,0.455 m/s), and (−0.305 m/s,0.717 m/s). Calculate the ?‑ and ?‑components of Bryce's mice's total momentum, ?? and ??.
The 25-Mg boxcar A 16m/s to the right is coasting on the horizontal track when it encounters a 9-Mg car B coasting at 2m/s toward it. If the two cars meet and couple together, determin common speed in m/s just after the coupling. Please see details below. Rounding numbers to 2 decimal places at the end.
What would be the final velocity if a 600g Cart 1, initially traveling 5.80m/s collided with a 200g Cart 2?
