An airplane flying directly eastward at a constant speed travels 300 km in 2.0 h. (a) What is the average velocity of the plane? (b) What is its instantaneous velocity?
Why is the following situation impossible? A freight train is lumbering along at a constant speed of 16.0 m/s. Behind the freight train on the same track is a passenger train traveling in the same direction at 40.0 m/s. When the front of the passenger train is 58.5 m from the back of the freight train, the engineer on the passenger train recognizes the danger and hits the brakes of his train, causing the train to move with acceleration 3.00 m/s2. Because of the engineers action, the trains do not collide.
The driver of a car slams on the brakes when he sees a tree blocking the road. The car slows uniformly with an acceleration of 5.60 m/s2 for 4.20 s, making straight skid marks 62.4 m long, all the way to the tree. With what speed does the car then strike the tree?
(II) A horse trots away from its trainer in a straight line, moving 38 m away in 9.0 s. It then turns abruptly and gallops halfway back in 1.8 s. Calculate (a) its average speed and (b) its average velocity for the entire trip, using“away from the trainer” as the positive direction
A driver is traveling 18.0 m/s when she sees a red light ahead. Her car is capable of decelerating at a rate of 3.65m / (s ^ 2) If it takes her 0.380 s to get the brakes on and she is 24.0 m from the intersection when she sees the light, will she be able to stop in time? How far from the beginning of the intersection will she be, and in which direction?
(II) A kangaroo jumps straight up to a vertical height of 1.45 m. How long was it in the air before returning to Earth?
Why is the following situation impossible? A freight train is lumbering along at a constant speed of 16.0 m/s. Behind the freight train on the same track is a passenger train traveling in the same direction at 40.0 m/s. When the front of the passenger train is 58.5 m from the back of the freight train, the engineer on the passenger train recognizes the danger and hits the brakes of his train, causing the train to move with acceleration 23.00 m/s2. Because of the engineer’s action, the trains do not collide.
a man walks south at a speed of 2.00m / s for 15.0 minutes. then he turns and walks north at a distance of 2000m in 15.00 minutes. What is the average speed of the man during his entire movement?
You are driving your car along a country road at a speed of 23.6 m/s. As you come over the crest of a hill, you notice a farm tractor 25.0 m ahead of you on the road, moving in the same direction as you at a speed of 10.0 m/s. You immediately slam on your brakes and slow down with a constant acceleration of magnitude 7.20 m/s2. How far is the tractor in front of you when you finally stop?
. The engineer of a passenger train traveling at 25.0 m/s sees a freight train whose caboose is 200 m ahead on the same track. The freight train is traveling at 15.0 m/s in the same direction as the passenger train. The engineer of the passenger train immediately applies the brakes, causing a constant acceleration of 0.100 m/s2in a direction opposite to the train’s velocity, while the freight train continues with constant speed. Take x = 0 at the location of the front of the passenger train when the engineer applies the brakes. (a) Will the cows nearby witness a collision? (b) If so, where will it take place?
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?
A jetliner travelling northward is landing with a speed of 69m/s . Once the jet touches down it has 750 m of runway in which to reduce its speed to 6.1m/s. Calculate the average acceleration of the plane during the landing . And IF identical pellet guns are fired simultaneously from the edge of a cliff. These guns impart an initial speed of 30.0m/s to each pellet. Gun A is fired straight upwards, with the pellet going up and the n falling back down, eventually hitting the ground beneath the cliff. Gun B is fired straight downwards. In the absence of air resistance, Calculate how long after pellet B hits the ground does pellet A hit the ground?
