A hockey player is standing on his skates on a frozen pondwhen an opposing player, moving with a uniform speed of 12m/s, skates by with the puck. After 3.0 s, the first player makesup his mind to chase his opponent. If he accelerates uniformlyat 4.0 m/s2, (a) how long does it take him to catch his opponent,and (b) how far has he traveled in that time? (Assumethe player with the puck remains in motion at constant speed.)
In 1967, New Zealander Burt Munro set the world recordfor an Indian motorcycle, on the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah,with a maximum speed of 183.58 mi/h. The one-way coursewas 5.00 mi long. Acceleration rates are often described bythe time it takes to reach 60.0 mi/h from rest. If this time was4.00 s, and Burt accelerated at this rate until he reached hismaximum speed, how long did it take Burt to complete thecourse?
A blue car is moving at a constant speed of 70 m/s when it passes signage with a police officer beside it. Due to the car’s over speeding, the police officer chases it with a constant accelerationof 4 m/s2, one second after the car passes the signage. How long does it take for the police officer to overtake the car?
You drive a beat-up pickup truck down a straight road for 5.2 mi at 43 mi/h, at which point yourun out of fuel. You walk 1.2 mi farther, to the nearest gas station, in 27 min (= 0.450 h). What isyour average velocity from the time you started your truck to the time that you arrived at thestation?
The leader of a bicycle race is traveling with a constant velocity of +11.10 m/s and is10.0 m ahead of the second-place cyclist. The second-place cyclist has a velocity of+9.50 m/s and an acceleration of +1.20 m/s^2. How much time elapses before he catchesthe leader?
A car driving on a straight track accelerates at a rate of 3.2 m/s^2 for 4 secs. If the initial velocity of the car was 5.1 m/s, and initial position was 0 m, what's the final velocity?
On average, an eye blink lasts about 100 ms. How far does a fighter jet travel during a pilot's blink if the plane's average velocity is 3300 km/h?
On a 200 km bike cycle ride, you ride the first 90 km at an average speed of 20 m/s. What mustyour average speed over the next 40 km be to have your average speed for the total 200 km be?(a) 60 m/s?
A car, initally at rest, accelerates at 5.47 m/s^2 for 7.0s. How far did it travel in this time?
a parachutist opens his chute at time t=0, while falling vertically at a speed of 50.0 m/s. From the combined effects of gravity and air resistance, he is subject to anupward acceleration of ay= (40/T)e-t/T where T=6.8s. Find the parachutist's speed 10s after the chute is opened and the distance fallen during that period of time.
A cop stopped by the side of the road seeing a sports car speed by. She pursues the motorcyclist at arate of 65m/s2until she reaches the sports car at a speed of 200 m/s. How long did it take the cop tocatch the motorcycle?
Suppose a car merges into freeway traffic on a 200-m-long ramp. If its initial velocity is 10.0 m/s and it accelerates at2.00 m/s2, how long does it take to travel the 200 m up the ramp? (Such information might be useful to a traffic engineer.)
