You step onto a hot beach with your bare feet. A nerve impulse, generated in your foot, travels through your nervous system at an average speed of 139m/s. How much time does it take for the impulse, which travels at a distance of 1.81m, to reach your brain?
A bomb is designed to explode 2.00 s after it is armed. The bomb is launched from earth and accelerated to an unknown final speed. After reaching its final speed, however, the bomb is observed by people on earth to explode 2.90 s after it is armed. What is the final speed of the bomb just before it explodes?
3) A red truck moving 100 km/ h overtakes a 1.5 km long train moving in the same direction on a track parallel to the road. If the speed of the train is 80.0 km/h, how long in seconds does it take the car to pass it, and how far (meter) will the car have travelled in this time
1. Andrew and Kevin decide to try out the physics ideas that they are learning and take their baseball pitching machine and a baseball to a 96 feet tall local building. Based on what they have learned the height, s(t), of a baseball, thrown straight up with an initial speed of 80 feet per second from a rooftop 96 feet high is s(t)=-16t^2+80t+96 where t is the elapsed time that the baseball is in the air. The baseball that is pitched miss the rooftop on their way down and eventually strike the ground. a) What is the average velocity of a baseball from t=0 to t=2 seconds? b) What is the velocity of the baseball 2 seconds after it is thrown? c) After how many seconds will the velocity of the baseball reach zero? d) What is the velocity of the baseball t seconds after it is thrown? e) What is the velocity of the baseball as it passes the roof top on the way down?
A boy stands at the edge of a bridge above a river. In both of the following scenarios, a stone is thrown over the edge of the bridge by the boy at a speed of 12.0 m/s and leaves his hand at exactly 20.0 m above the surface of the water. (a) If he throws the stone straight up first, how long does it take to hit the water? (b) If he throws the stone straight down, how long does it take to hit the water? (Use kinematic equations to solve.)
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?
The Starship Enterprise returns from warp drive to ordinary space with a forward speed of 51 km/skm/s . To the crew's great surprise, a Klingon ship is 140 kmkm directly ahead, traveling in the same direction at a mere 30 km/skm/s . Without evasive action, the Enterprise will overtake and collide with the Klingons in just about 6.7 ss . The Enterprise's computers react instantly to brake the ship. What magnitude acceleration does the Enterprise need to just barely avoid a collision with the Klingon ship? Assume the acceleration is constant.
1. A pilot in a small plane encounters shifting winds. He flies 26.0 kmkm northeast, then 45.0 kmkm due north. From this point, he flies an additional distance in an unknown direction, only to find himself at a small airstrip that his map shows to be 70.0 kmkm directly north of his starting point. What was the length of the third leg of his trip? What was the direction of the third leg of his trip? 2. A boat can travel 7.3 m/s in still water. It is crossing a 220 m wide river while pointed due east and the river is flowing at 3.7 m/s, north. What is the speed of the boat, relative to the shore? How long does it take to cross the river? How far downstream does the boat end up? 3. A flock of ducks is trying to migrate south for the winter, but they keep being blown off course by a wind blowing from the west at 14 m/sm/s . A wise elder duck finally realizes that the solution is to fly at an angle to the wind. If the ducks can fly at 15 m/sm/s relative to the…
A Ford Territory and a Montero Sport are traveling in the same direction at 60.0 kph on a straight highway, parallel to each other, and the Territory is ahead of Montero by 248,90 kph. At a certain time, Territory decelerates uniformly at 2.50 m/s2, whereas the Montero accelerates uniformly at 2.0 m/s2. At what distance measured from the initial position of Montero will it overtake Ford Territory.
