Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 102DQ

Suppose that a freely falling object falls from a roc position and is equipped with an odometer. What equation is most appropriate for determining the distance fallen each second? Do the readings indicate equal or unequal distances of fall for successive seconds? Explain.

Starting from rest (stationary), an object experiences constant acceleration. From the time the acceleration starts, it travels 1.72 x 105km (in the positive direction) in 1 hour. What is the value of this acceleration? Give your answer in m/s2
Albert runs 34 m to the right in 10 s. Isaac runs 17 m to the left in5 s. (a) Is Albert’s speed greater than, less than, or equal to Isaac’sspeed? (b) Is Albert’s velocity equal to Isaac’s velocity? Explain.
How would you I solve the determine the acceleration from the values given for arad and atan problem below?

  • Hi, I need help with this physcis problem. I've gone over it multiple times and can't firgure it out. Anyway you can help?   A car, initially at rest, accelerates at a constant rate of 2 m/s2 due east (choose east as the positive direction; round your answer to the nearest meter per second; include units)What is its velocity after 1 second? What is its velocity after 2 seconds? What is its velocity after 3 seconds? What is its velocity after 4 seconds? What is its velocity after 5 seconds? What is its velocity after 9 seconds?  If instead a car accelerates at a constant rate of 5 m/s2 due eastWhat is its velocity after 1 second? What is its velocity after 2 seconds? What is its velocity after 3 seconds? If instead a car accelerates at a constant rate of 5 m/s2 due westWhat is its velocity after 1 second?
    A 62.3kg astronaut throws a 2.20 lbs package with an acceleration of 0.98 m/s2. If the astronaut was pushed back with a distance of 3.25m, how much farther is the package from the starting position? How long has it been since the astronaut pushed the package? Now let's throw an astronaut for variety's sake.
    To throw a baseball, the pitcher winds up, starting the ball from rest. They then accelerate the ball through a displacement of 3.4 m before releasing the ball at 46 m/s. Question A: Calculate the constant acceleration necessary to achieve this ball velocity. Give your answer in m/s^2 Question B: How many g's is this? (By what factor would you need to multiply Earth's gravity g = 9.8 m/s^2 to achive the same acceleration?
