An unidentified flying object (UFO) is observed to travel a total distance of 23000 m, starting and ending at rest, over a duration of 2.59 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.
699 g s
13,715 g s
6,857 g s
1,398 g s
A parachutist jumps out of an airplane and accelerates with gravity to a maximum velocity of 58.8 m/s in 6 seconds. She then pulls the parachute cord and after a 4 second deceleration, descends at 10 m/s for 60 seconds. reaching the ground. From what height did the parachutist jump?
Four seconds after an object is thrown down with an initial velocity of 20 M/S on planet X, it's speed is 80 M/S what is the acceleration of gravity on this planet?
Can someone walk me through solving this equation?
Thank you
