An unidentified flying object (UFO) is observed to travel a total distance of 19000 m, starting and ending at rest, over a duration of 4.23 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.

A classic physics problem states that if a projectile is shot vertically up into the air with an initial velocity of 146 feet per second from an initial height of 89 feet off the ground, then the height of the projectile, h, in feet, t seconds after it's shot is given by the equation: h=−16t2+146t+89h=-16t2+146t+89 Find the two points in time when the object is 126 feet above the ground (to one decimal places). Answer: The object is 126 feet off the ground at the following times: (Enter your two answers separated by a comma. Round to ONE decimal places.)
A spacecraft starts from rest, and makes a journey to a destination 447000 km from its starting point. It does so by accelerating at a constant rate of 9.82 m/s^2 up to the midpoint of the journey, and then decelerates at the same constant rate of 9.82 m/s^2 for the second half of the journey, ending at rest. How long did the entire journey take?
A red train traveling at 72 km/h and a green train traveling at 144 km/h are headed toward each other on a straight, level track. When they are 950 m apart, each engineer sees the other's train and applies the breaks. The brakes slow each train at the rate of 1.0 m/s^2. Is there a collision? If so, what is the speed of the red train and the speed of the green train? If not, what is the separation between the trains when they stop?

At one instant, a bicyclist is 50 m due east of a park's flagpole, going due south with a speed of 18 m/s. Then, 13 s later, the cyclist is 45 m due north of the flagpole, going due east with a speed of 13 m/s. For the cyclist in this 13 s interval, what is the displacement (m) and direction north of west, average velocity (m/s) and direction north of west and the average acceleration and direction north of east?
