A stone is thrown up with a velocity of 66 m/s from the ground. While coming down, it strikes a glass pan, held at half the height through which it has risen and loses half of its velocity in breaking the glass. Determine the time taken to reach the maximum height and the velocity with which it will strike the ground and total time taken to reach the ground

A police car traveling at 95.0 km/h is traveling west, chasing a motorist traveling at 80.0 km/h. (a) What is the velocity of the motorist relative to the police car? (b) What is the velocity of the police cat relative to the motorist? (c) If they are originally 250 m apart, in what time interval will the police car over take the motorist?
A particle's position is given by × = 14.0 - 9.00t + 3t2, in which x is in meters and t is in seconds. (a) What is its velocity at t = 1s? (b) Is it moving in the positive or negative direction of x just then? (c) What is its speed just then? (d) Is the speed increasing or decreasing just then? (Try answering the next two questions without further calculation.) (e) Is there ever an instant when the velocity is zero? If so, give the time t; if not, answer "O". (f) Is there a time after t = 3 s when the particle is moving in the negative direction of x? If so, give thetime t; if not, answer "O".
A policeman is standing on the side of the road eating donuts when a politician who stole public funds drives past him at a constant speed of 120m/s. After 3s, the policeman decided to get inside his vehicle and go after the politician. If the police vehicle accelerates uniformly at 40m/s^2 (a) How long does it take him to catch the politician and congratulate him? (b) How far has he traveled in that time? (Assume the politician remained in motion at constant speed)
In his 1865 science fiction novel From the Earth to the Moon, Jules Verne described how three astronauts are shot to the Moon by means of a huge gun. According to Verne, the aluminum capsule containing the astronauts is accelerated by ignition of nitrocellulose to a speed of 11 km/s along the gun barrel’s length of 220 m. (a) In g units, what is the average acceleration of the capsule and astronauts in the gun barrel? (b) Is that acceleration tolerable or deadly to the astronauts? A modern version of such gun-launched spacecraft (although without passengers) has been proposed. In this modern version, called the SHARP (Super High Altitude Research Project) gun, ignition of methane and air shoves a piston along the gun’s tube, compressing hydrogen gas that then launches a rocket. During this launch, the rocket moves 3.5 km and reaches a speed of 7.0 km/s. Once launched, the rocket can be fired to gain additional speed. (c) In g units, what would be the average acceleration of the rocket…
2. A motorist saw a humps 33 m away at a speed of 14.5 m/s. He immediately slams on the brake and decelerates 1.2 m/s 2 with a speed of 11.7 m/s. (a) Will he stop before the humps (express your answer in magnitude)? (b) How long it will take before stopping?
Hello, I had a physics question. "Just as the traffic light changes to green, a Mustang drives through the intersection at a constant velocity of 14.2 m/s [N]. A Camaro that was stopped at the light accelerates from rest at 2.9 m/s^2 [N]. How much time passes before the two cars meet again? How far have they travelled? I figured out how to do the question but I'm really confused on the units of the distance. I used the d = v/t formula and the vit + 1/2at^2 formula but the units I ended up getting were m^2/s^3 for distance when it should just be m.
An express train passes through a station. It enters with an initial velocity is22.0 m/s and decelerates at a rate of 0.150 m/s2 as it goes through. Thestation is 210 m long. (a) How long is the nose of the train in the station? (b)How fast is it going when the nose leaves the station? (c) If the train is 130 mlong, when does the end of the train leave the station? (d) What is thevelocity of the end of the train as it leaves?
A bunch of keys was thrown directly upward by Macoy, who is looking out of the window, to be caught by Len-Len living on a room right above him. Unfortunately, Len-Len wasn't able to catch the keys and therefore the bunch of keys went straight to the ground. If Macoy gave the keys an upward speed of 3 m/s and the keys reached the ground after Macoy threw the keys upward in 4 seconds, a. What is the speed of the keys just before it reached the ground? b. How high is his room from the ground?

Mr. C is standing at the origin on the x-axis at position O. He starts from rest and accelerates at a rate of 2m/s/s [E] for 10s, then travels at a constant speed for 3 additional minutes, and then decides to accelerate at a rate of 1m/s/s[W] until he is travelling at a velocity of 5m/s[W]. Find the final position of Mr. C on the x-axis and the total time that he was in motion.
