"In 1865, Jules Verne proposed sending men to the Moon by firing a space capsule from a 220-m-long cannon with final speed of 10.97 km/s. What would have been the unrealistically large acceleration experienced by the space travelers during their launch? (A human can stand an acceleration of 15g for a short time.)" Also "Compare your answer with the free-fall acceleration, 9.80 m/s2."
A ball is thrown into the air by a baby alien on a planet in thesystem of Alpha Centauri with a velocity of 49 ft/s. Its heightin feet after t seconds is given by y = 49t −25t2.a.) Find the average velocity for the time period beginningwhen t0 = 1 second and lasting for the given time.t = .01 sec:t = .005 sec:t = .002 sec :t = .001 sec: b.)

Playing jackstone as a kid, you discovered that there is a certain time before the rubber ball falls and you took advantage of this when picking up the stars on the floor. If you threw the ball 2.54m/s up into the air, how fast will it be moving at a height of 15.05cm? How much time has elapsed upon reaching this height?
You are a construction worker standing still on 12th Ave N in Fargo, and you watch a minivan drive past at 25 mi/hr eastward. A kid in the back throws a ball at his brother in the front seat at 19 mi/hr. How fast does the ball move, as observed by you? (Positive indicates east, negative indicates west.) ? How fast does the ball move, according to the kid who threw it? If instead the kid in the front seat throws a rock at the kid in the back seat at 19 mi/hr, how fast would you observe the rock to travel?
. An airplane and a helicopter leave an airport in Montana at the same time. The aircrafts' velocities: va = 225 mph, 20.0°, vh = 102 mph, 49.0°. If these velocities are maintained which craft will cross the border into Canada first? Or do they arrive at the same time?
An engineer in a locomotive sees a car stuck on a track at a railroad crossing in front of the train. When the engineer first sees the car, the locomotive is 310m from the crossing and its speed is 10m/s. If the engineer's creation time is 0.39s, what should be the magnitude of the minimum deceleration to avoid an accident in m/s2
I had a dream last night that I was chased by my teddy bear. In my dream, I was sleepwalking at a constant velocity of 60ft/sec. At exactly 4:00 am I noticed my teddy bear standing 1000 feet behind me. At that instant I began to accelerate at 10 ft/sec/sec and the teddy bear began to accerlate after me at 12 ft/sec/sec. At the moment the bear caught up to me, I woke from my dream in a cold sweat. To the nearest second, What time was this?
In a boat race, boat A is leading boat B by 50 meters and both boats are traveling at a constant speed of 180 km/h. At time = 0, the boats accelerate at constant rates. Knowing that when B passes A, time = 8 seconds and acceleration= 225 km/h determine (a) the acceleration of A in meters per second square, (b) the acceleration of B in meters per second square.
