The first astronaut has landed on Mars. Conducting some physics experiments, she drops a hammer from rest from a height of 2.01 m and uses a stopwatch to measure that the hammer takes 1.04 s to hit the ground. A. Determine the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity on Mars. B. She then throws the hammer straight up into the Martian sky. If she comes back to her hand in 4.20 s, with what speed did she throw it?
A cyclist is initially at rest at the origin. At t=0 she starts to accelerate at a constant rate, along a straight road reaching a velocity of 4.00 m/s after 12.0 seconds. 12.0 seconds after starting a prairie dog runs across her path and the cyclist hits the brakes, producing a new constant acceleration. 13.0 seconds after starting, the cyclist has a velocity of 1.50 m/s .
What is the acceleration, a1a1, of the cyclist in the first part of the motion, between t = 0 and 12s?
What is the acceleration of the cyclist, a_2 , in the second part of the motion between t = 12 and 13s?
What is her average acceleration in this 13-s interval?
What is the position of the cyclist at 13s, x_13?
A rocket accelerates upward from rest, due to the first stage, with a constant acceleration of a1= 76 m/s^2 for t1= 47s. The first stage then detached and second stage fires, providing a constant acceleration of a2= 46 m/s^2 for the time interval t2= 109s. (A) Enter an expression for the rocket's speed, v1, at time t1 in terms of the variable provided. (B) Enter an expression for the rocket's speed, v2, at the end of the second period of acceleration, in terms of the variable provided in the problem statement. (C) Using your expression for speeds v1 and v2, calculate the total distance traveled, in meters by the rocket from launch until the end of the second piece of acceleration.
