A suspicious-looking man runs as fast as he can along a moving sidewalk from one end to the other, taking 2.50 s.Then security agents appear, and the man runs as fast as he can back along the sidewalk to his starting point, taking 10.0 s.What is the ratio of the man’s running speed to the sidewalk’s speed?
The sport with the fastest moving ball is jai alai, where measured speeds have reached 303 km/h. If a professional jai alai player faces a ball at that speed and involuntarily blinks, he blacks out the scene for 100 ms. How far does the ball move during the blackout?
A car is traveling at 96 km/h when the driver sees an accident 75 m ahead and slams on the brakes. What minimum constant deceleration (in m/s2) is required to stop the car in time to avoid a multi-car pileup? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
A police car is traveling at a velocity of 17.0 m/s due north, when a car zooms by at a constant velocity of 42.0 m/s due north. After a reaction time 0.300 s the policeman begins to pursue the speeder with an acceleration of 5.00 m/s^2. Including the reaction time, how long does it take for the police car to catch up with the speeder?
At a time t seconds, after it is thrown up in the air, a tomato is at a height (in meters) of f(t)=−4.9t^2+50t+3 m. How long is the tomato in the air?
A blue car is moving at a constant speed of 70 m/s when it passes signage with a police officer beside it. Due to the car's over speeding, the police officer chases it with a constant acceleration of 4 m/s2, one second after the car passes the signage. How long does it the police officer to overtake the truck?
Answer the ff: 1. A juggler throws a bowling pin straight up with an initialspeed of 8.20 m/s. How much time elapses until the bowling pinreturns to the juggler’s hand? 2. A car travels in the +x-direction on a straight and levelroad. For the first 4.00 s of its motion, the average velocity of thecar is vav-x = 6.25 m/s. How far does the car travel in 4.00 s?
A cement block accidentally falls from rest from the ledge of a 56.0-m-high building. When the block is 14.2m above the ground, a man,1.90m tall, looks up and notices that the block is directly above him. How much time, at most, does the man have to get out of the way?
A truck tractor pulls two trailers, one behind the other, at a constant speed of 1.00 102 km/h. It takes 0.600 s for the big rig to completely pass onto a bridge 4.00 102 m long. For what duration of time is all or part of the truck-trailer combination on the bridge?
Why is the following situation impossible? A freight train is lumbering along at a constant speed of 16.0 m/s. Behind the freight train on the same track is a passenger train traveling in the same direction at 40.0 m/s. When the front of the passenger train is 58.5 m from the back of the freight train, the engineer on the passenger train recognizes the danger and hits the brakes of his train, causing the train to move with acceleration 3.00 m/s2. Because of the engineers action, the trains do not collide.
A car is 126 m from a stop sign and traveling toward the sign at 29 m/s. At this time, the driver suddenly realizes that she must stop the car. If it takes 0.200 s for the driver to apply the brakes, what must be the magnitude of the constant acceleration of the car after the brakes are applied so that the car will come to rest at the stop sign?
A car is travelling at a constant speed of 100 km.hr at the highway when the driver noticed that the bridge 10 m away is cut off. If the driver immediately applied the brakes upon noticing the cut off bridge, what must be his deceleration so he would not fall to the river?
