The train initially stopped in station A and then accelerated uniformly to a top speed 60 km/h. After travelling with the top speed for some times, it decelerated with a uniform acceleration 0.015 m/s² until it came to rest at another station B. Determine (a) the acceleration of the train before it reached the top speed. Give the answer in unit of m/s², (b) the total time for the train in deceleration. (c) the total time for the train travelled at the top speed. (d) the distance between two stations.

1. Andrew and Kevin decide to try out the physics ideas that they are learning and take their baseball pitching machine and a baseball to a 96 feet tall local building. Based on what they have learned the height, s(t), of a baseball, thrown straight up with an initial speed of 80 feet per second from a rooftop 96 feet high is s(t)=-16t^2+80t+96 where t is the elapsed time that the baseball is in the air. The baseball that is pitched miss the rooftop on their way down and eventually strike the ground. a) What is the average velocity of a baseball from t=0 to t=2 seconds? b) What is the velocity of the baseball 2 seconds after it is thrown? c) After how many seconds will the velocity of the baseball reach zero? d) What is the velocity of the baseball t seconds after it is thrown? e) What is the velocity of the baseball as it passes the roof top on the way down?
A student stands at the edge of a cliff and throws a stone horizontally over the edge with a speed of v0 = 16.5 m/s. The cliff is h = 58.0 m above a flat, horizontal beach as shown in the figure. (d) Write the equations for the position of the stone with time, using the coordinates in the figure. (Use the following as necessary: t. Let the variable t be measured in seconds. Do not state units in your answer.) x = y = f) With what speed and angle of impact does the stone land? vf = m/s θ = ° below the horizontal
A red train traveling at 72 miles/hour (mph) and a green train traveling at 100 mph are headed toward one another along a straight, level track. When they are 2500 feet apart, each engineer sees the other's train and applies the brakes. The brakes decelerates each train at the rate of 2.0 meters per second squared. Is their a collision? If so, what is the speed of each train at impact? If not, what is the separation between the trains when they stop? Give the given and solution:

In his 1865 science fiction novel From the Earth to the Moon, Jules Verne described how three astronauts are shot to the Moon by means of a huge gun. According to Verne, the aluminum capsule containing the astronauts is accelerated by ignition of nitrocellulose to a speed of 11 km/s along the gun barrel’s length of 220 m. (a) In g units, what is the average acceleration of the capsule and astronauts in the gun barrel? (b) Is that acceleration tolerable or deadly to the astronauts? A modern version of such gun-launched spacecraft (although without passengers) has been proposed. In this modern version, called the SHARP (Super High Altitude Research Project) gun, ignition of methane and air shoves a piston along the gun’s tube, compressing hydrogen gas that then launches a rocket. During this launch, the rocket moves 3.5 km and reaches a speed of 7.0 km/s. Once launched, the rocket can be fired to gain additional speed. (c) In g units, what would be the average acceleration of the rocket…

One type of engine used in space travel is an ion thruster. These engines produce a low force that results in small acceleration changes. If an ion-thrust engine is used to apply 87 millinewtons [mN] of force on a satellite with a mass of 1.7 megagrams [Mg], what is the acceleration produced in units of meters per second squared [m/s2]?
Suppose you went for a drive along a long, straight road that runs east-west. Let's define east to be the positive x direction. From your home, you drive east at 30. mi/hr to your friends house for 20. minutes, then at 48 mi/hr east for 10. minutes to the grocery store. Finally, you drive west at 60. mi/hr without stopping to get home. How many minutes will it take to drive from the grocery store to your home (at 60. mi/hr)? Note: Your answer should have the correct number of significant figures
