Podracing is a very popular auto racing sport in the Star Wars universe . Although it is dangerous , it is also exciting to see podracers competing at extreme speeds in those tiny crafts . Tatooine is a sandy and windy planet where the wind constantly blows at 50 km/h . On Tatooine , Anakin Skywalker's Podracer is able to travel 960 km at tailwind in the same time it can travel 640 km at headwind . How fast can his Podracer travel in still air ? This question is previously on here but the answer is incorrect. Answer choices: 250, 320, 200, or 300km/h

The first supersonic flight was performed by Charles Yeager in 1947. During his attempt, he flew from 119 m/s to top speed, accelerating at 7.29 m/s^2 for a distance of 5251 m. What top speed did he achieve?
A landscape architect is planning an artificial waterfall in a city park. Water flowing at 1.70 m/s will leave the end of a horizontal channel at the top of a vertical wall h = 2.35 m high, and from there it will fall into a pool (Fig. P3.42). (a) Will the space behind the waterfall be wide enough for a pedestrian walkway? (b) To sell her plan to the city council, the architect wants to build a model to standard scale, which is one-twelfth actual size. How fast should the water flow in the channel in the model? Figure P3.42
In 1992, a 14-kg meteorite struck a car in Peekskill, NY, leaving a 20-cm-deep dent in the trunk. If the meteorite was moving at 500 m/s before striking the car, what was the magnitude of its acceleration while stopping? Find the time it takes for the meteorite to come to a complete stop.
Researchers doing satellite tracking of albatrosses in the Southern Ocean observe a bird maintaining sustained flight speeds of 35 m/s- nearly 80 mph!! This seems surprisingly fast until you realize that the particular bird was flying with the wind, which was moving 23 m/s. What is the bird’s airspeed- its speed relative to the air?
A speedboat has a velocity of 48 kph as it comes out of a turn. It accelerates at the rate of 0.3 m/sec^2 for the first ½ km of the straightway and then maintains this final velocity for the next ½ km. How long did it take to cover the km?
For two decades, teams sought a connection between the Flint Ridge cave system and Mammoth cave in Kentucky. When the connection was finally discovered, the combined system was declared the world’s largest cave (more than 200 km long). The team that found the connection had to crawl, climb and squirm through countless passages, traveling a net 2.6 km westward, 3.9 km southward, and 25 km upward. What was their displacement from start to finish?
I've been moonwalking for hours, and I'm getting tired. Explain why, as I come to a stop, my velocity is increasing while my speed is decreasing.
Jay Umpshot,one of the many stars of the local basketball team, steals the ball and runs the length of the court in 8.5 sec at a speed of 5.0 m/s. How long is the court?
A classic wooden coaster has cars that go down a big first hill, gaining speed. The cars then ascend a second hill with a slope of 30°. If the cars are going 25 m/s at the bottom and it takes them 2.0 s to climb this hill, how fast are they going at the top?
A bush baby can leap straight up to a height of 2.1 m off the ground. To reach this height, with what speed would it need to leave the ground, in m/s? Use g = 9.8 m/s2.
The first astronaut has landed on Mars. Conducting some physics experiments, she drops a hammer from rest from a height of 2.01 m and uses a stopwatch to measure that the hammer takes 1.04 s to hit the ground. A. Determine the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity on Mars. B. She then throws the hammer straight up into the Martian sky. If she comes back to her hand in 4.20 s, with what speed did she throw it?
Bill runs at a steady pace of 5.00 m/s. How long will it take Bill to run 1.00 mile? (N.B. 1 mile =5280 feet). Answer in seconds.
