Do highway speed limit signs refer to average speeds or to instantaneous speeds? Explain.
Professional baseball player Nolan Ryan could pitch a baseball at approximately 160.0 km/h. At that average velocity, how long did it take a ball thrown by Ryan to reach home plate, which is 18.4 m from the pitcher’s mound? Compare this with the average reaction time of a human to a visual stimulus, which is 0.25 s.
Does a car’s odometer measure distance traveled or displacement?
Lamborghini Murcielago is one of the most iconic cars ever as it was featured as a Batmobile in the third installment of Batman Trilogy directed by Christopher Nolan. If it can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 3 seconds, what is its rate of change in velocity per unit time? (1 mile is equal to 1.61 kilometers)
If it usually takes you three hours to arrive to Aqaba (from Amman) using a passenger car with amax. Speed of 100km/hr, estimate the time you need to reach to the same point if you own thisvehicle
An object is dropped from rest and takes 2.25 seconds to reach the ground below. From what distance above the ground was it dropped? State this as a positive number and assume it has proper SI Units.
If a drag racing motorcyclist has an initial speed of 10 m/s, and then he/she accelerates for 15 seconds at 15 m/s2, what is the velocity after 15 seconds? (do not include units in answer)
A rocket sled having an initial speed of 150 mi/hr is slowed by a channel of water. Assume that during the braking process, the acceleration a is given by a(v)=-mu v2 , where v is the velocity and mu is a constant. If it requires a distance of 2000 ft to slow the sled to 15 mi/hr, determine the value of mu?
A car travels along a straight road with a constant speed of 10 kph. Once it reachesthe highway, it accelerates to 45 kph in 7 s, determine the acceleration of the car in m/s^2. Also determine the distance travelled by the car while accelerating.
The driver of a car is initially moving at a constant speed of 68.3 km/h when a traffic light turns red. If a 0.525 s reaction time is required before the brakes can be applied, what is the distance in meters traveled by the car before it begins to slow down?
A speeding driver noticed a police car parked about 433 m in from of him on the side of the road and reduced his speed at a constant rate for a duration of 10.7 seconds as he drove past the police car, at the legal speed of 33 m/s. What was the car's acceleration (include a negative sign in your answer)?
Assuming all accelerations were uniform, what is the total time elapse for the particle’s motion if it start from rest and experience an acceleration of 3 m/s2 for 2 sec. the particle then returned to rest in an additional distance of 10 meter.
