My pug/bulldog mix, Georgia, who is blind and deaf, gets a whiff of her dinner. As soon as it registers to her that it's dinnertime, she runs 4.12 meters from the middle of our living room to our kitchen, where she is satiated with her grub. If it takes her 4.45 s to get to the kitchen, what was her speed in m/s to the nearest hundredth?
In problem 11, if the dragstrip is ¼ mile, or 402.3 meters long, at the acceleration of 24.1 m/s2, what is the time that thedragster records for his or her quarter mile run to two decimal places assuming uniform acceleration during the entirelength of the track? What was the dragster’s final velocity in miles per hour (two decimal places) when it crossed thefinish line and deployed its parachute?

Professional baseball player Nolan Ryan could pitch a baseball at approximately 160.0 km/h. At that average velocity, how long did it take a ball thrown by Ryan to reach home plate, which is 18.4 m from the pitcher’s mound? Compare this with the average reaction time of a human to a visual stimulus, which is 0.25 s.
A dolphin in an aquatic show jumps straight up out of thewater at a velocity of 13.0 m/s. (a) List the knowns in thisproblem. (b) How high does his body rise above the water?To solve this part, first note that the final velocity is now aknown and identify its value. Then identify the unknown, anddiscuss how you chose the appropriate equation to solve forit. After choosing the equation, show your steps in solving forthe unknown, checking units, and discuss whether the answeris reasonable. (c) How long is the dolphin in the air? Neglectany effects due to his size or orientation
what is the average speed in m/s for a person who ran a mile in 4.04 minutes?
In World War II, there were several reported cases ofairmen who jumped from their flaming airplanes with noparachute to escape certain death. Some fell about 20,000feet (6000 m), and some of them survived, with few lifethreatening injuries. For these lucky pilots, the tree branchesand snow drifts on the ground allowed their deceleration to berelatively small. If we assume that a pilot’s speed upon impactwas 123 mph (54 m/s), then what was his deceleration?Assume that the trees and snow stopped him over a distanceof 3.0 m.
A dog runs 100m away from its master in a straight line in 9.0s, and then runs halfway back in one-third that time. Compute a) its average speed and its b) average velocity.
The approximate distance d (in feet) that drivers travel afternoticing that they must come to a sudden stop is given by thefollowing formula, where x is the speed of the car (in mi/h):d  x  x220If a car travels 75 ft before stopping, what was its speedbefore the brakes were applied?
A car can be braked to a stop from the autobahn-likespeed of 200 km/h in 170 m. Assuming the acceleration is constant,find its magnitude in (a) SI units and (b) in terms of g. (c) How muchtime Tb is required for the braking? Your reaction time Tr is the timeyou require to perceive an emergency, move your foot to the brake,and begin the braking. If Tr = 400 ms, then (d) what is Tb in terms ofTr, and (e) is most of the full time required to stop spent in reactingor braking? Dark sunglasses delay the visual signals sent from theeyes to the visual cortex in the brain, increasing Tr. (f) In the extremecase in which Tr is increased by 100 ms, how much farther doesthe car travel during your reaction time?
