Most important in an investigation of an airplane crash by the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board is the data stored on the airplane’s flight-data recorder, commonly called the “black box” in spite of its orange coloring and reflective tape.The recorder is engineered to withstand a crash with an average deceleration of magnitude 3450 g during a time interval of 6.49 ms. In such a crash, if the recorder and airplane have zero speed at the end of that time interval, what is their speed at the beginning of the interval?
In an historical movie, two knights on horseback start from rest 75.0 m apart and ride directly toward each other to do battle. Sir George's acceleration has a magnitude of 0.338 m/s2, while Sir Alfred's has a magnitude of 0.250 m/s2. Relative to Sir George's starting point, where do the knights collide?
If a car were to start at rest and move along a straight road at a constant acceleration reaching a speed of 14 ms-1 in 4 s, the what would be the magnitude of the constant acceleration of the car?
The body, with an initial speed of 2 m/s, began to slide along an inclined plane. For l0s, it passes along an inclined plane of 50 m, and then along a horizontal plane to a stop of 90 m. Assuming the body movement in each of the sections to be equally variable, determine the speed of the body at the end of the inclined plane, acceleration on the inclined and horizontal sections of the path, and average speed along the entire path , body movement time.
The runway of an airport in Oman has been designed such that the lowest acceleration for a plane to take off is 10.3 m/s ^ 2 . The take -off speed for this plane will be 64.2 m/s . Assuming this minimum acceleration , then the minimum allowed length (m) for the runway is :
An automobile manufacturer claims that its product will, starting from rest, travel 0.40 km in 9.0 s. What is the magnitude of the constant acceleration required to do this?
The speed of a bullet is measured to be 640 m/s as the bullet emerges from a barrel of length 1.20 m.Assuming constant acceleration, find the time that the bullet spends in the barrel after it is fired.
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?
With respect to the motion of a car, describe a situation in which the car has zero speed but has a definite acceleration.
A car moving with uniform acceleration covers T 450 meter in first 5 second interval and covers 700 meters in next 5 second interval. The acceleration of the car is
Consider an airplane whose takeoff speed is 220 km/h and that takes 15 s to take off at sea level. For an airport at an elevation of 1600 m (such as Denver), determine (a) the takeoff speed, (b) the takeoff time, and (c) the additional runway length required for this airplane. Assume constant acceleration for both cases.
An object is subject to a constant acceleration of 4.16 m/s2 in the positive x direction. If it is initially at rest, what is its displacement in the x-direction at t = 8.99 s?
