The pilot of a jet transport brings the engines to full takeoff power before releasing the brakes as the aircraft is standing on the runway. The jet thrust remains constant, and the aircraft has a near-constant acceleration of 0.44g. If the takeoff speed is 150 km/h, calculate the distance s and time t from rest to takeoff. Ans: s = _____ m t = _____ s

As the ball falls back toward Earth, the acceleration will cause the ball to slow down by 10 m/s/s. D. At the top of its path, the velocity will be zero. E. At the top of its path, the acceleration will be zero. F. As the ball rises, the speed of the ball will be constant at 10 m/s.
A car is at rest at the top of a driveway that has a slope of 18.4 degrees. Unbeknownst to the owner, the brake of the car is released. (a) Find the acceleration (in m/s/s) of the car down the driveway. m/s/s (b) Find the time (in seconds) it takes the car to reach the street 7.31 m away (as measured along the incline). s
A woodpecker’s brain is specially protected from large decelerations by tendon-like attachments inside the skull. While pecking on a tree, the woodpecker’s head comes to a stop from an initial velocity of 0.600 m/s in a distance of only 2.00 mm. (a) Find the acceleration in m/s^2 and in multiples of g (g=9.80m/s^2). (b) Calculate the stopping time.

If the effects of atmospheric resistance are accounted for, a freely falling body has an acceleration defined by the equation a = 9.81[1 - v ^2 (10 ^-4)] m/s^2, where v is in m/s and the positive direction is downward. If the body is released from rest at a very high altitude, determine (a) the velocity when t = 5 s, and (b) the body’s terminal or maximum attainable velocity (as t S ).

You're an investigator for the National Transportation Safety Board, examining a subway accident in which a train going at 90 km/hkm/h collided with a slower train traveling in the same direction at 24 km/hkm/h . Your job is to determine the relative speed of the collision, to help establish new crash standards. The faster train's "black box" shows that it began negatively accelerating at 2.1 m/s2m/s2 when it was 52 mm from the slower train, while the slower train continued at constant speed. What do you report ?
An experimental rocket designed to land upright falls freely from a height of 2.18 102 m, starting at rest. At a height of 94.3 m, the rocket's engines start and provide constant upward acceleration until the rocket lands. What acceleration is required if the speed on touchdown is to be zero? (Neglect air resistance.)m/s2
Is the object accelerating and if so what direction? A. Yes, to the right B. Yes, to the left C. No is moving at a constant velocity D. No, it is at rest
