John wants to calculate the downward acceleration of his favorite rollercoaster. He recorded the initial velocity of the car at the top of the hill, and the time it took to reach the bottom. Which piece of data does he still need? O height of the hill O track length of the hill O final velocity of the car Omass of the car and riders

A care package is dropped out of a cargo plane and lands in the forest. If we assume the care package speed on impact is 54 m/s (123 mph), then what is its acceleration? Assume the trees and snow stops it over a distance of 3.0 m.
A train is mowing up a steep grade at constant velocity (see following figure) when its caboose breaks loose and starts rolling freely along the track. After 5.0 s, the caboose is 30 m behind the train. What is the acceleration of the caboose?
A rock is thrown straight up. At the top of the trajectory, the velocity is momentarily zero. Does this imply that the force acting on the object is zero? Explain your answer.
Acceleration may result from what? (2.3) (a) an increase in speed (b) a decrease in speed (c) a change in direction (d) all of the preceding
A basketball referee tosses the ball straight up for the starting tip-off. At what velocity must a basketball player leave the ground to rise 1.25 m above the floor in an attempt to get the ball?
I drop a penny from the top of the wall by the tennis courts and it takes 1.85 seconds to hit the ground. Calculate the velocity in m/s after 1.10 seconds of freefall. (solve for velocity, so use the basic acceleration equation)
For a body in constant velocity motion, which of the numbered curves below could have the right shape if this is a velocity versus time graph? How about if it is a position versus time graph? An acceleration versus time graph?
What is the acceleration of a car that moves at a steady velocity of 100 km/h for 100 s? Explain your answer.
suppose a free fall ride at an amusement park starts at rest and is in free fall. If it takes 4.8s before it hits the ground, and what is the final velocity of the ride? How high is the ride?
At t=0 an object has a velocity of 35 m/s and a steady acceleration of -10 m/s2. If this were a cart on a very long track, would it be going right or left initially? Using v = vinitial + at, what will be the object’s velocity at t = 2 seconds? What will be its velocity at t = 5 seconds?
Hi, I need help with this physcis problem. I've gone over it multiple times and can't firgure it out. Anyway you can help? A car, initially at rest, accelerates at a constant rate of 2 m/s2 due east (choose east as the positive direction; round your answer to the nearest meter per second; include units)What is its velocity after 1 second? What is its velocity after 2 seconds? What is its velocity after 3 seconds? What is its velocity after 4 seconds? What is its velocity after 5 seconds? What is its velocity after 9 seconds? If instead a car accelerates at a constant rate of 5 m/s2 due eastWhat is its velocity after 1 second? What is its velocity after 2 seconds? What is its velocity after 3 seconds? If instead a car accelerates at a constant rate of 5 m/s2 due westWhat is its velocity after 1 second?
Spud Webb, height 5'7", was one of the shortest basketball players to play in the NBA. But he had an impressive vertical leap; he was reportedly able to jump 110 cm off the ground. Hint: suggest using the Prep and Solve steps. To jump this high, with what speed would he leave the ground? What was his hang time (how long was he off the ground)?
