The average person passes out at an acceleration of 7g (that is, seven times the gravitational acceleration on Earth). Suppose a car is designed to accelerate at this rate. How much time would be required for the car to accelerate from rest, to 60.0 miles per hour? (The car would need rocket boosters!)
Which is true about the acceleration due to gravity? (3.5) (a) It is a universal constant. (b) It is a fundamental property. (c) It decreases with increasing altitude. (d) It is different for different objects in free fall.
Are we accelerating as a consequence of the Earth spinning on its axis? Explain.
Describe two major discoveries or contributions that Galileo made to science and the study of mechanics.
The eye of a hurricane passes over Grand Bahama Island in a direction 60.0 north of west with a speed of 41.0 km/h. Three hours later the course of the hurricane suddenly shifts due north, and its speed slows to 25.0 km/h. How far from Grand Bahama is the hurricane 4.50 h after it passes over the island?
A soft tennis ball is dropped onto a hard floor from a height of 1.50 m and rebounds to a height of 1.10 m. (a) Calculate its velocity just before it strikes the floor. (b) Calculate its velocity just after it leaves the floor on its way back up. (c) Calculate its acceleration during contact with the floor if that contact lasts (3.50103s). (d) How much did the ball compress during its collision with the floor, assuming the floor is absolutely rigid?
A race car traveling northward on a straight, level track at a constant speed travels 0.750 km in 20.0 s. The return trip over the same track is made in 25.0 s. (a) What is the average velocity of the car in m/s for the first leg of the run? (b) What is the average velocity for the total trip?
The driver of a truck slams on the brakes when he sees a tree blocking the road. The truck slows down uniformly with an acceleration of 5.60 m/s2 for 4.20 s. making skid marks 62.4 m long that end at the tree. With what speed does the truck then strike the tree?
A spacecraft lands on a newly discovered planet orbiting the star 51 Pegasi. To measure the acceleration from gravity on the planet, an astronaut drops a rock from a height of 2 m. A precision timer indicates that it takes the rock 0.71 s to fall to the surface. What is the acceleration from gravity on this planet?
