A child on a sled moving at 5 m/s, reaches the bottom of the hill and simply glides along, slowing to a reduced speed of 3 m/s after gliding for 16 m. What is the magnitude of their acceleration (in m/s2) as they slow, rounded to one decimal place?
A particle’s velocity along the x-axis is described byv(t) = A t + B t2,where t is in seconds, v is in meters per second, A = 1.06 m/s2, and B = -0.51 m/s3. What is the distance traveled, in meters, by the particle between times t0 = 1.0 s and t1 = 3.0 s?
While running a marathon, a long-distance runner uses a stopwatch to time herself over a distance of 100 m. She finds that she runs this distance in 18 s. Answer the following by considering ratios, without computing her velocity. a. If she maintains her speed, how much time will it take her to run the next 400 m?
An unidentified flying object (UFO) is observed to travel a total distance of 19000 m, starting and ending at rest, over a duration of 4.23 s. Assuming the UFO accelerated at a constant rate to the midpoint of its journey and then decelerated at a constant rate the rest of the way, what was the magnitude of its acceleration? Express your answer in g s , where 1 g = 9.81 m/s^2.
In problem 11, if the dragstrip is ¼ mile, or 402.3 meters long, at the acceleration of 25.2 m/s2, what is the time that the dragster records for his or her quarter mile run to two decimal places assuming uniform acceleration during the entire length of the track? What was the dragster’s final velocity in miles per hour (two decimal places) when it crossed the finish line and deployed its parachute?
A person standing at the edge of a cliff throws a rock upward from a height of 350ft above ground level with an initial velocity of 65⁢ft/s. What is the velocity of impact when the rock reaches the bottom of the cliff? Round any intermediate calculations, if needed, to no less than six decimal places, and round your final answer to two decimal places. (Hint: Use h(t)=−16t2+65t+350 as the position function, where hh is in feet, tt in seconds. Ignore air resistance.)
If a driver is initially going 21m/s to the left and then slams on the brakes to accelerate at a magnitude of 14.7m/s/s until she comes to a stop. How far did she travel/what was the distance she traveled the moment she started applying the brakes?
From January 26, 1977, to September 18, 1983, George Meegan of Great Britain walked from Ushuaia, at the southern tip of South America, to Prudhoe Bay in Alaska, covering 30 600 km. In meters per second, what was the magnitude of his average velocity during that time period?
The height of a projectile fired straight up in the air with an initial velocity of 64 ft/s is h = 64t - 16t2, where h is height in feet and t is time in seconds. The table represents the data for another projectile. Which projectile goes higher? How much higher? Table Data Time (t) Height (h) 0.5 20 1 32 1.5 36 2 32
A three-toed sloth is the slowest moving land mammal. On the ground, the sloth moves at an average speed of 0.037 m/sec, considerably slower than the giant tortoise, which walks at 0.076 m/sec. After 12 minutes (720 seconds) of walking, how much further would the tortoise have gone relative to the sloth?
The height of an object thrown upward with an initial velocity of 96 feet per second is given by the formula h = −16t2 + 96t, where t is the time in seconds. a) How long will it take the object to reach a height of 144 feet? b) How long will it take the object to return to the point of departure?
The acceleration of a particle along a straight line is defined by a=(2t- 9) m/s^2 , where t is in seconds. At t = 0, s = 1 m and v = 10 m/s. When t = 9 s, determine (a) the particle’s position, (b) the total distance traveled, and (c) the velocity.
