A man and his dog are out for a run at 12 km/hr, traveling toward a road 100 km away. At the 30 km mark, he decides to unleash the dog, and it runs back and forth between its owner and the road at 35 km/hr (fast dog) while he continues at his same pace. What is the total distance the dog has run by the time the man reaches the road?

The Shinkansen (bullet train in Japan) makes a trip from Tokyo Station to Kyoto station in 2.0 hours and 14 min. The distance traveled is 460 km (to two significant figures). Determine the average velocity of the train in meters per second (m/s). [conversions: 1 km = 1000 m, 1 hr = 3600 s, 1 min = 60 s] *Round your answer to two significant figures in the standard form* *

An unidentified flying object (UFO) is observed to travel a total distance of 23000 m, starting and ending at rest, over a duration of 2.59 s. Assuming the UFO accelerated at a constant rate to the midpoint of its journey and then decelerated at a constant rate the rest of the way, what was the magnitude of its acceleration? Express your answer in g s , where 1 g = 9.81 m/s^2. 699 g s 13,715 g s 6,857 g s 1,398 g s

A spacecraft starts from rest, and makes a journey to a destination 389000 km from its starting point. It does so by accelerating at a constant rate of 9.79 m/s^2 up to the midpoint of the journey, and then decelerates at the same constant rate of 9.79 m/s^2 for the second half of the journey, ending at rest. How long did the entire journey take? 11 hr 2 min 5 hr 31 min 3 hr 30 min 2 hr 29 min
