An initially stationary hovercraft sits on a large lake. Whena whistle blows the hovercraft accelerates due north at a rate of1.2 m s−2for 10 s, does not accelerate at all for the next 10 s, andthen accelerates at a rate of 0.6 m s−2 due east for another 10 s. Thehovercraft then coasts for another 10 s without any acceleration.(a) What is the velocity of the hovercraft 40 s after the whistleblows?(b) What is the displacement of the hovercraft 40 s after thewhistle blows?
A woodpecker’s brain is specially protected from large decelerations by tendon-like attachments inside the skull.
