An unidentified flying object (UFO) is observed to travel a total distance of 49000 m, starting and ending at rest, over a duration of 3.07 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. 20,796 g s 10,398 g s 2,120 g s 1,060 g s

A helicopter is ascending vertically with a speed of 5.30 m/s. At a height of 107 m above the Earth, a package is dropped from the helicopter. How much time does it take for the package to reach the ground? [Hint: What is v0 for the package?] Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units. My Answer is that t= 4.163 but what unit is it? I tried s, m/s, min but none of them were correct. PLEASE HELP CONFIRM MY ANSWER and THE UNIT along with 4.163
A jeep travels a distance d=22.1m in the positive x direction in a time t1=20.2s, at which point the jeep brakes, coming to rest in t2=7.38s. 1. What was the jeep's instantaneous velocity in the horizontal direction, in meters per second, when it began braking? 2. Using the result from question 1, what was the jeep's horizontal component of acceleration, in meters per squared second, during the braking period?
In reaching her destination, a backpacker walks with an average velocity of 1.31 m/s, due west. This average velocity results, because she hikes for 6.93 km with an average velocity of 2.06 m/s due west, turns around, and hikes with an average velocity of 0.688 m/s due east. How far east did she walk (in kilometers)?
A spaceship is traveling at a constant velocity of v(t) = 300.0i m/s when its rockets fire, giving it an acceleration of a(t) = (9.0i + 9.0k) m/s^2. What is its velocity (in m/s) 4 s after the rockets fire? (Express your answer in vector form.)
A student solving a physics problem for the velocity of an object has applied appropriate physics principles and obtained the expression v=d/t−v0, where d=35.0meter, t=9.00second, and v0 =3.00meter/second. What is the velocity v?
A pilot flies in a straight path for 1 hour 45 minutes. She then makes a course correction, heading 30 degrees to the right of her original course, and flies 2 hours 30 minutes in the new direction. If she maintains a constant speed of 340 mi/h, how far is she from her starting position? Give your answer to the nearest mile.
On a spacecraft two engines fire for a time of 567 s. One gives the craft an acceleration in the x direction of ax = 4.80 m/s2, while the other produces an acceleration in the y direction of ay = 7.52 m/s2. At the end of the firing period, the craft has velocity components of vx = 3751 m/s and vy = 4834 m/s. Calculate the magnitude of the initial velocity.
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?
At one instant, a bicyclist is 50 m due east of a park's flagpole, going due south with a speed of 18 m/s. Then, 13 s later, the cyclist is 45 m due north of the flagpole, going due east with a speed of 13 m/s. For the cyclist in this 13 s interval, what is the displacement (m) and direction north of west, average velocity (m/s) and direction north of west and the average acceleration and direction north of east?
