After a big snowfall, you take your favorite rocket‑powered sled out to a wide field. The field is 209 m across, and you know that your sled accelerates at a rate of 3.25 m/s^2 when the rocket is on. a) How much time will it take the sled to cross the field starting from rest, assuming the rocket is on the whole time in seconds? b) How fast will the sled be moving when it reaches the other end of the field in m/s? c) How fast will the sled be moving when it is halfway across the field in m/s

You're an investigator for the National Transportation Safety Board, examining a subway accident in which a train going at 90 km/hkm/h collided with a slower train traveling in the same direction at 24 km/hkm/h . Your job is to determine the relative speed of the collision, to help establish new crash standards. The faster train's "black box" shows that it began negatively accelerating at 2.1 m/s2m/s2 when it was 52 mm from the slower train, while the slower train continued at constant speed. What do you report ?
A 1500 kg automobile travels at a speed of 105 km/h along a straight concrete highway. Faced with an emergency situation, the driver jams on the brakes, and the car skids to a stop. (a) What will be the car's stopping distance for dry pavement ( = 0.85)? (b) What will be the car's stopping distance for wet pavement ( = 0.60)?

A firefighter slides down a pole in a fire station with an acceleration of 5.29 m/s^2. If the firefighter starts at rest and slides for a distance of 3.6 m, what is his final speed right before reaching the bottom? m/s
A giant boulder is traveling down a hill at a rate of 20 m/s. You are located 1 km away from the boulder. How much time do you have to evacuate the area? A. 10 seconds B. 10 minutes C. 50 seconds D. 50 minutes
A woodpecker’s brain is specially protected from large accelerations by tendon-like attachments inside the skull. While pecking on a tree, the woodpecker’s head comes to a stop from an initial velocity of 0.600 m/s in a distance of only 2.00 mm. (a) Find the acceleration in meters per second squared and in multiples of g, where g = 9.80 m/s2. (b) Calculate the stopping time. (c) The tendons cradling the brain stretch, making its stopping distance 4.50 mm (greater than the head and, hence, less acceleration of the brain). What is the brain’s acceleration, expressed in multiples of g?
