A jetliner traveling north is landing with a speed of 74 m/s. Once the jet touches down, it has 755 m of runway which reduced its speed to 11.1 m/s. What is the average acceleration (magnitude & direction) of the jet during landing?
A ball is thrown vertically into the air at 120 ft/s. After 3 seconds, another ball is thrown vertically. What initial speed must the second ball have to pass the ball at 100ft from the ground? Show the solutions and the drawing.
A Chinook (King) salmon (Genus Oncorynchus) can jump out of water with a speed of 5.55 m/s. (See Problem 4.9, page 111 for an investigation of how the fish can leave the water at a higher speed that it can swim underwater.) If the salmon is in a stream with water speed equal to 1.65 m/s, how high in the air can the fish jump if it leaves the water traveling vertically upwards relative to the Earth?
