A mining cart is pulled up a hill at 20 km/h and then pulled back down the hill at 35 km/h through its original level. (The time required for the cart’s reversal at the top of its climb is negligible.) What is the average speed of the cart for its round trip, from its original level back to its original level?

A skier starts from rest from a height of 20 m and skis down the slope into a valley and back up a slope of 12 m high with respect to the valley. What speed does the skier have the moment he reaches the height of 12 m?
A rock is thrown straight up into the air with an initial speed of 85 m/s at time t = 0. Ignore air resistance in this problem. At what times does it move with a speed of 13 m/s? Note: There are two answers to this problem.
A 5m tall elevator travels uniformly up an elevator shaft at 8m/s. At some point in time, a bolt falls from the top of the elevator and falls freely down the shaft. You can ignore the effect of air resistance. How many seconds after the fall will the bolt pass the bottom of the elevator?
At t=0, a particle starts with an initial velocity of 10 i m/s and accelerates uniformly at (-2.0 i +4.0 J) m/s^2. What is the speed of particle at t=5s? 1- 32m/s 2- 30 m/s 3- 28 m/s 4- 20 m/s 5- 10 m/s
A tortoise and a hare are in a road race to defend the honor of their breed. The tortoise crawls the entire 1000 meters at a speed of 0.2 m/s. The rabbit runs the first 200 meters at 2 m/s, stops to take a nap for 1.3 hours, and awakens to finish the last 800 meters with an average speed of 3 m/s. Who wins the race and by how much time?
A ball is thrown straight up from the edge of the roof of a building. A second ball is dropped from the roof a time of 1.12 s later. You may ignore air resistance. If the height of the building is 20.4 m, what must the initial speed be of the first ball if both are to hit the ground at the same time? Consider the same situation, but now let the initial speed v0 of the first ball be given and treat the height h of the building as an unknown. What must the height of the building be for both balls to reach the ground at the same time for v0 = 8.50 m/s. If v0 is greater than some value vmax, a value of h does not exist that allows both balls to hit the ground at the same time. Solve for vmax. If v0 is less than some value vmin, a value of h does not exist that allows both balls to hit the ground at the same time. Solve for vmin.
A rocket is fired vertically upward with an initial velocity of 80 m/s at the ground level. Its engine then fires and it accelerated at 4m/s2 until it reaches an altitude of 1200m. At that point, the engine fail and the rocket goes into free fall. Disregard air resistance. How long was the rocket above the ground?
On a particularly busy workday, I might need to drive back and forth between ASUN’s Newport and Jonesboro campuses, which are 38 miles apart. It takes me 48 min to make the drive from the Newport campus to the Jonesboro campus. On the return trip from Jonesboro to Newport, I decide to speed by maintaining an average speed that is 10 mi/hr faster than my average speed going from Newport to Jonesboro.
You throw an apple straight up. The apple leaves your hand at time t = 0 moving at 5.50 m/s. Air resistance can be neglected. (a) How many times (two, one, or none) does the apple pass through a point 1.30 m above your hand? If the apple does pass through this point, at what times t does it do so, and is the apple moving upward or downward at each of these times? (b) How many times (two, one, or none) does the apple pass through a point 1.80 m above your hand? If the apple does pass through this point, at what times t does it do so, and is the apple moving upward or downward at each of these times?
A particle leaves the origin going 1 m/s in the +x direction. At all times it experiences a constant acceleration of 5.34 m/s2 in the -x direction. What will be the particle's speed when it returns to the origin?
(a) The velocity of a particle changes from v1 = 2i + 5j -3k m/s to v2 = 5i - 7j+ 2k m/s in 2 s. What is its average acceleration? (b) A particle has an acceleration of a = -7i + 3j m/s2 for a period of 4 s. After this time the velocity is V2 = 6i - 2k m/s. What was the initial velocity?
A lunar lander is making its descent to Moon Base I . The lander descends slowly under the retro-thrust of its descent engine. The engine is cut off when the lander is 5.0 m above the surface and has a downward speed of 0.8 m>s.With the engine off, the lander is in free fall. What is the speed of the lander just before it touches the surface? The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1.6 m/s2.
