A spacecraft starts from rest, and makes a journey to a destination 447000 km from its starting point. It does so by accelerating at a constant rate of 9.82 m/s^2 up to the midpoint of the journey, and then decelerates at the same constant rate of 9.82 m/s^2 for the second half of the journey, ending at rest. How long did the entire journey take?
A red train traveling at 72 km/h and a green train traveling at 144 km/h are headed toward each other on a straight, level track. When they are 950 m apart, each engineer sees the other's train and applies the breaks. The brakes slow each train at the rate of 1.0 m/s^2. Is there a collision? If so, what is the speed of the red train and the speed of the green train? If not, what is the separation between the trains when they stop?
One train is traveling 120 m with a velocity of 52 km/h and a second train is traveling in the opposite direction with a velocity of 20 km/h. How long will it take for them to completely pass one another?
An unidentified flying object (UFO) is observed to travel a total distance of 29000 m, starting and ending at rest, over a duration of 4.77 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. 520 g s 260 g s 5,098 g s 2,549 g s
An unidentified flying object (UFO) is observed to travel a total distance of 19000 m, starting and ending at rest, over a duration of 4.23 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.
The engineer of a passenger train traveling at 25.0 m/s sights a freight train whose caboose is 200 m ahead on the same track (Fig. P2.62). The freight train is traveling at 15.0 m/s in the same direction as the passenger train. The engineer of the passenger train immediately applies the brakes causing a constant acceleration of 0.100 m/s in a direction opposite to the train’s velocity, while the freight train continues with constant speed. Take x = 0 at the location of the front of the passenger train when the engineer applies the brakes. (a) Will the cows nearby witness a collision? (b) If so, where will it take place? (c) On a single graph, sketch the positions of the front of the passenger train and the back of the freight train
You are walking down a straight path in a park and notice there is another person walking some distance ahead of you. The distance between the two of you remains the same, so you deduce that you are walking at the same speed of 1.17 m/s.1.17 m/s. Suddenly, you notice a wallet on the ground. You pick it up and realize it belongs to the person in front of you. To catch up, you start running at a speed of 2.85 m/s.2.85 m/s. It takes you 14.5 s14.5 s to catch up and deliver the lost wallet. How far ahead of you was this person when you started running?
An auto travels going to Roxas City at a rate of 25 km/hr for 0.045 hour , then at 50 km/hr for 0.056 hr, and finally at 20 km/hr for 0.015 hour. Find the total distance covered in km and the velocity for the complete trip.
A person walks up a stalled 15-m-long escalator in 90 s. When standing on the same escalator, now moving, the person is carried up in 60 s. How much time would it take that person to walk up the moving escalator? Does the answer depend on the length of the escalator?
On a two-lane road, car A is travelling with a speed of 72 km/h. Two cars B and C approach car A in opposite directions with a speed of 108 km/h each. At a certain instant, when the distance AB is equal to AC, both being 2 km, B decides to overtake A before C does. What minimum acceleration of car B is required to avoid an accident ?
