An unidentified flying object (UFO) is observed to travel a total distance of 42000 m, starting and ending at rest, over a duration of 2.07 s. Assuming the UFO accelerated at a constant rate to the midpoint of its journey and then decelerated at a constant rate the rest of the way, what was the magnitude of its acceleration? Express your answer in g s , where 1 g = 9.81 m/s^2. 39,207 g s 19,604 g s 3,997 g s 1,998 g s
Colonel John P. Stapp, USAF, participated in studying whether a jet pilot could survive emergency ejection. On March 19, 1954, he rode a rocket-propelled sled that moved down a track at a speed of 632 mi/h (see figure below). He and the sled were safely brought to rest in 1.40 s. (a) Determine in SI units the negative acceleration he experienced. (m/s2) (b) Determine in SI units the distance he traveled during this negative acceleration. (m)
At an air show, a jet plane has velocity components vx =695km/h and vy =415km/h at time 4.35 s and vx =938km/h and vy =365km/h at time 7.52 s. Please answer A,B,C,D Thank you.
A train approaches a small town with a constant velocity of +28.6 m/s. The operator applies the brake, reducing the train’s velocity to +11.4 m/s. If the average acceleration of the train during braking is –1.35 m/s^2, for what elapsed time does the operator apply the brake?
A parachutist jumps out of an airplane and accelerates with gravity to a maximum velocity of 58.8 m/s in 6 seconds. She then pulls the parachute cord and after a 4 second deceleration, descends at 10 m/s for 60 seconds. reaching the ground. From what height did the parachutist jump?
Holden is trying to determine the velocity of his race car. He went 20 meters east, turned around, and went 40 meters west. His car was 20 meters from the starting line. This took 5 seconds. What is the car’s average velocity? 4 m/s east 4 m/s west 12 m/s west 12 m/s east

Starting from rest, a bus leaves a gas station with a constant acceleration of 2 m/s˄2 until it reaches a speed of 10 m/s. The bus then continues to move with this speed (10 m/s) for 5 s. Then the bus decelerates at 2.5 m/s˄2 until it stops. What is the total distance traveled by the bus? (Answer: 95 m)
