Given data: An object falls close to the earth

Two students are discussing the motion of an object as it falls close to the earth. Jerry makes the following statement: "The velocity of an object when it is falling close to the earth never changes because acceleration due to gravity is constant. Susan does not agree with Jerry. Which reason below should Susan give to Jerry to correct his misconception? 1) The velocity of an object falling close to the ground is always increasing because gravity is constantly accelerating that object. 2) The velocity of an object falling close to the ground is always decreasing because gravity is constantly accelerating that object. 3) The velocity of an object falling close to the ground is always increasing because gravity is increasingly accelerating that object. 4) The velocity of an object falling close to the ground is always decreasing because gravity is negatively accelerating that object.

two car with a distance of 100m between them are moving in the same direction with the same speed. At t=0 s , the cars start to apply constant acceleration with the same magnitude but in opposite directions, simultaneously. at the 5th second, the cars are the same position, and one of the cars is stopping. calculate the velocity of the moving car at the 5th second. (ıf you use g ; take g = 10m/s2)
A (field) hockey player is running north at a speed of 8 m⋅s−1. A ball is coming directly towards her from the north at a speed of 18 m⋅s−1. She swings her stick forward, directly north, at a speed of 6 m⋅s−1 measured in her own frame of reference. What is the speed of the ball with respect to the hockey stick? Relative to the hockey stick, the ball is travelling at ____ m⋅s−1.
You attach a meter stick to an oak tree, such that the top of the meter stick is 1.47 meters above the ground. Later, an acorn falls from somewhere higher up in the tree. If the acorn takes 0.231 seconds to pass the length of the meter stick, how high ℎ0 above the ground was the acorn before it fell, assuming that the acorn did not run into any branches or leaves on the way down?h0 = ? meters
QUESTION 3 Here we go again (yes, this set of questions is starting to feel like Groundhog Day). You AGAIN wake up in a strange room, and this time you drop a ball from a height of 1.98 m, and observe that it hits the floor 0.318 s after you drop it. In this case you suspect you are in deep space, far from any planet or star, and that your rocket is accelerating due to the push of its own engines under the floor. In this case, what must the acceleration of your rocket be? A 29.4 m/s^2 B 29.4 m/s^2 C 39.2 m/s^2 D 19.6 m/s^2
Archibald, an aging geezer, is out bicycling one fine afternoon, reliving his glorious youth and oblivious to the world around him. As he approaches a busy intersection, a police officer directing traffic blows his whistle to get Archie’s attention so he’ll slow down and stop. But Archie doesn’t stop; he just speeds right through the intersection as if the traffic cop wasn’t even there. The cop radios one of his colleagues and gets her to stop the old geezer. She gives him a traffic citation for failing to heed the command of a police officer directing traffic. When the case gets to traffic court, Archie explains to the judge that he didn’t hear the officer’s whistle because he is going deaf and cannot hear frequencies above 3000 Hz. The traffic cop informs the judge that his standard issue police whistle emits a frequency of 2100 Hz and he has a certificate to prove it. Thinking quickly (at least for an old geezer) Archie says that it may be true that the police whistle emits a sound…
You ride in a boat on a river flowing at 1.7m/s(in the negative y direction). Suppose you would like the boat to move directly across the river (in the positive x direction) with a speed of 5.5m/s.What is the corresponding speed of the boat's velocity relative to the water?Express your answer to two significant figures and include appropriate units.

A seagull flies at a velocity of 8.5 m/s relative to the air straight into the wind. vSA = 8.5 m/st = 23 mind = 5.8 km A) If it takes the bird 23 min to travel 5.8 km relative to the Earth, what is the velocity of the wind, in meters per second, relative to the Earth? Take the direction of travel of the seagull to be positive. B) If the bird turns around and flies with the wind, how long, in minutes, will it take to return 5.8 km?

(a) Calculate the average speed of the blade tip in the helicopter's frame of reference. (b) What is its average velocity over one revolution? 2. Acceleration is the change in velocity over time. Given this information, is acceleration a vector or a scalar quantity? Explain. 3. A commuter backs her car out of her garage with an acceleration of (a) How long does it take her to reach a speed of 2.00 m/s? (b) If she then brakes to a stop in 0.800 s, what is her deceleration
A ball is thrown at vy0 = unit straight Select an answer right left no direction, the magnitude is zero up down no direction, the answer is a scalar and accelerates due to gravity at a magnitude of 7m/s/s toward the ground. Let's say after 2.6s the ball is 13.7m down from its starting position.
10. MOTION IN TWO DIMENSIONS Which of the following statements is not true about projectile motion? Here are the choices: At the top of its path, only the vertical velocity is zero. At the top of its path, only the vertical velocity is zero. Anywhere along the path of the projectile, its acceleration is constant. Anywhere along the path of the projectile, its acceleration is constant. The acceleration along the path of the projectile has a magnitude of 9.8 m/s2 The acceleration along the path of the projectile has a magnitude of 9.8 m/s squared At the top of its path, the velocity is purely vertical because the horizontal velocity is constant.
