An out of control car traveling at 95 km/hr locks its brakes and skids in a straight line. If the friction caused by locking the brakes decelerates the car at a uniform rate of 2 m/s/s, how long (what time) will it take for the car to come to rest? Note 1: The units are not required to be included in this instance. Note 2: The direction of travel is not required to be indicated for this question.

According to a simplified model of a mammalian heart, at each pulse, approximately 20 g of blood is accelerated from 0.26 m/s to 0.35 m/s during a period of 0.10 s.

Very large accelerations can injure the body, especially if they last for a considerable length of time. One model used to gauge the likelihood of injury is the severity index ( SI ), defined as SI=a5/2t . In the expression, t is the duration of the accleration, but a is not equal to the acceleration. Rather, a is a dimensionless constant that equals the number of multiples of g that the acceleration is equal to. In one set of studies of rear-end collisions, a person's velocity increases by 16.6 km/h with an acceleration of 33.0 m/s2 . Let the +x direction point in the direction the car is traveling. What is the severity index for the collision?SI = ?How far d does the person travel during the collision if the car was initially moving forward at 5.20 km/h?d = ? m

If a rocket in space is initially at rest and then accelerates at a rate of 50 m/s 2 for one minute (which is 60 seconds), how fast will it be going at that point? Your answer should be in units of m/s but you should only submit the number for your answer.
On a spending spree in Malaysia, you buy an ox with a weight of 28.9 piculs in the local unit of weights: 1 picul = 100 gins, 1 gin = 16 tahils, 1 tahil = 10 chees, and 1 chee =10 hoons. The weight of 1 hoon corresponds to a mass of 0.3779 g. When you arrange to ship the ox home to your astonished family, how much mass in kilograms must you declare on the shipping manifest? (Hint: Set up multiple chain-link conversions.)
Which of the following statement/s is/are correct regarding the concepts of motion? According to Aristotle, a body that is stationary will continue to be stationary unless a force is applied to it. According to Aristotle, a falling body accelerates because its weight increases as it approaches Earth’s surface. According to Galileo, a body in motion along a frictionless surface does not need an external force to maintain its motion. According to Galileo, objects fall at the same rate even if one object is more massive than the other object. 1 and 2 3 and 4 1,3, and 4 1,2,3 and 4 Which of the following is a correct explanation to one of the consequences of Special Relativity?

A car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly over a time of 5.21 seconds for a distance of 110 m. Determine the acceleration of the car. (unit: m/s^2) answer in 2 decimal places.
When a car is moving at x miles per hour and the driver decides to slam on the brakes, the car will travel x + 1/20 x2 feet. (The general formula is f (x) = ax + bx2, where the constant a depends on the driver’s reaction time and theconstant b depends on the weight of the car and the type of tires.) If a car travels 175 feet after the driver decides to stop, how fast was the car moving? (Source: Applying Mathematics: A Course in Mathematical Modelling.)

(b) Velocity increases by equal amounts in equal time intervals. (c) The derivative of velocity increases with time.
