The human body can survive a negative sudden stop if the magnitude of the acceleration is less than 250m/s². If you are in an automobile accident with an initial speed of 105km/h and are stopped by an airbag that inflates from the dashboard, over what distance must the airbag stop you for you to survive the crash?

The speed of a particle moving along a circle of radius r=4 m, is v(t) = 4t, where v is in m/s and t is in s. The magnitude of the total acceleration (in m/s) of the particle at t = 1s is
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.
On a spacecraft two engines fire for a time of 389 s. One gives the craft an acceleration in the x direction of ax = 3.41 m/s^2, while the other produces an acceleration in the y direction of ay = 7.34 m/s^2. At the end of the firing period, the craft has velocity components of vx = 1860 m/s and vy = 4290 m/s. Find the (a) magnitude and (b) direction of the initial velocity. Express the direction as an angle with respect to the +x axis.
It takes earth 365 days to complete one orbit around the sun. Knowing that the magnitude of the average acceleration of the earth experiences is over half an orbit is 3.78×10-3 m/s2 , what is the average speed with which it travels?
Most important in an investigation of an airplane crash by the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board is the data stored on the airplane’s flight-data recorder, commonly called the “black box” in spite of its orange coloring and reflective tape.The recorder is engineered to withstand a crash with an average deceleration of magnitude 3450 g during a time interval of 6.49 ms. In such a crash, if the recorder and airplane have zero speed at the end of that time interval, what is their speed at the beginning of the interval?
You are exploring a planet and drop a small rock from the edge of a cliff. In coordinates where the +y direction is downward and neglecting air resistance, the vertical displacement of an object released from rest is given by y − y0 = 1/2gplanett2, where gplanet is the acceleration due to gravity on the planet. You measure t in seconds for several values of y − y0 in meters and plot your data with t2 on the vertical axis and y − y0 on the horizontal axis. Your data is fit closely by a straight line that has slope 0.300 s2/m. Based on your data, what is the value of gplanet?
A hammer of mass m = 0.475 kg is moving horizontally at a velocity of v = 6.5 m/s when it strikes a nail and comes to rest after driving the nail a distance Δx = 1.2 cm into a board. 1)What is the duration of the impact, in seconds, assuming the acceleration of the hammer was constant? 2)
An airplane makes a gradual 270° turn (heading goes from north to west to south to east) while flying at a constant speed of 212 m/s and maintaining the same altitude. The process takes 15.6 seconds to complete and the radius of the turn is 2105 m. For this turn, the magnitude of the average acceleration of the plane is?
A rocket is fired from rest at x = 0 and travels along a parabolic trajectory described by y2 = [120(10^3)x] m. If the x component of acceleration is ax = (1/4t^2)m/s^2, where t is in seconds, determine the magnitude of the rocket’s velocity and acceleration when t = 10 s.
In an attempt to escape a desert island, a castaway builds a raft and sets out to sea. The wind shifts a great deal during the day and he is blown along the following directions: 2.50 km and 45.0 north of west, then 4.70 km and 60.0 south of east, then 1.30 km and 25.0 south of west, then 5.10 km straight east, then 1.70 km and 5.00 east of north, then 7.20 km and 55.0 south of west, and finally 2.80 km and 10.0 north of east. Use a graphical method to find the castaway’s final position relative to the island.
Does the magnitude of your acceleration have to be greater than 9.8m/s² to leave the ground? explain.
