Two ducks, Donald and Cassiopeia, are gliding gracefully toward eachother along a pond, in a straight line. Donald is initially moving at v =0.500 m/s, and begins accelerating at 0.100 m/s2 at t = 0 s. Cassiopeiamoves at a constant speed of v = 0.700 m/s. If they are initially separatedby 25.0 m, where will they collide? Take Donald’s initial position as theorigin. How long will it take for them to collide?
An experimental rocket car starting from rest reaches a speed of after a straight 400-m run on a level salt flat. Assuming that acceleration is constant, (a) what was the time of the run, and (b) what is the magnitude of the acceleration?
The record distance in the sport of throwing cowpats is81.1 m. This record toss was set by Steve Urner of the UnitedStates in 1981. Assuming the initial launch angle was 45°and neglecting air resistance, determine (a) the initial speedof the projectile and (b) the total time the projectile was inflight. (c) Qualitatively, how would the answers change if thelaunch angle were greater than 45°? Explain.
A ball is thrown with an initial speed of 20 ?/? from one end of a horizontal platform with a length of 48 ? and a height of 32 ? at angle of 37° to the the horizontal.

(a) Find the time of flight of the ball (b) What should be the acceleration of the man so that he can hold the ball before it falls? cos53o =sin37o=0.6 cos37o =sin53o=0.8 g=9.8 m/s2
Please answer this NEATLY, COMPLETELY, and CORRECTLY for an UPVOTE. The position ? of a particle along a straight line is given by s = sin(0.4t) - 10t + 20t2 , where s is in meters and t is the time in seconds. Determine the position s and the velocity v when the acceleration of the particle is 38.84 m/s2.

What is the velocity of a car that travels from mile marker 250 on I-10 to mile marker 31 on I-10 in a time of 1 hours and 55 minutes? SYW! For this exercise pretend that I-10 is perfectly straight and is perfectly oriented in the East-West direction.
For the case of freefall, explain how to calculate the total distance traveled and the instantaneous velocity for an object that is dropped from rest by applying the fundamental meaning of acceleration and by using the two equations: Vavg=(vf+vi)/2 and d=vavg*t. Is this method applicable only for the case of freefall and with an initial velocity of zero, or is it always applicable to cases where the acceleration of an object is constant and parallel, or antiparallel, to the direction of motion? Explain.
