A typical sneeze expels material at a maximum speed of 44.9 m/s. Suppose the material begins inside the nose at rest, 2.00 cm from the nostrils. It has a constant acceleration for the first 0.250 cm and then moves at constant velocity for the remainder of the distance. How long does it take to move the 2.00-cm distance in the nose?
A drag car starts from rest and moves down the racetrack with an acceleration defined by a= 50 - 10t, where a and t are in m/s2 and seconds, respectively. After reaching a speed of 125 m/s, a parachute is deployed to help slow down the dragster. Knowing that this deceleration is defined by the relationship a= - 0.02v2 , where v is the velocity in m/s, determine (a) the total time from the beginning of the race until the car slows back down to 10 m/s, (b) the total distance the car travels during this time.
Starting from rest, a particle first accelerates at acceleration a through a distance d, then it continues at constant speed for time t, and finally decelerates at a/4 before coming to rest. If the total distance traversed is 20d, then d = φt^2, what is φ?
