The average person passes out at an acceleration of 7g (that is, seven times the gravitational acceleration on Earth). Suppose a car is designed to accelerate at this rate. How much time would be required for the car to accelerate from rest, to 60.0 miles per hour? (The car would need rocket boosters!)

- A hippopotamus can run up to 9.86 m/s. Suppose a hippopotamus uniformly accelerates 0.28 m/s² until it reaches a top speed of 9.86 m/s. If the hippopotamus has run 25.1 m, what is its initial speed in m/s? (round your answer to two decimal places; DO NOT include units)arrow_forwardThe average person passes out at an acceleration of 7g (that is, seven times the gravitational acceleration on earth).Suppose the car is designated to accelerate at this rate. How much time would be required for the car to accelerate from rest to 61.3 miles per hour?arrow_forwardA light plane must reach a speed of 32 m/sm/s for takeoff. How long a runway is needed if the (constant) acceleration is 2.7 m/s2m/s2 ? Express your answer using two significant figures.arrow_forward
- A bush baby can leap straight up to a height of 2.1 m off the ground. To reach this height, with what speed would it need to leave the ground, in m/s? Use g = 9.8 m/s2.arrow_forwardAmel goes for a walk with a speed of 3kph. After 30 minutes of walk, his wife follows him. Walking 3.25 km for the first hour, 3.75 km for the second hour, 4 km for the third hour and so on maintaining a speed of .25 km per hour. How many hours does the wife take to catch up to her husband?arrow_forwardA soccer ball starts from rest and accelerates with an acceleration of 0.385 m/s2 while moving down a 8.50 m long inclined plane. When it reaches the bottom, the ball rolls up another plane, where, after moving 14.75 m, it comes to rest. (a) What is the speed of the ball at the bottom of the first plane (in m/s)? (Round your answer to at least two decimal places.) m/s (b) How long does it take to roll down the first plane (in s)? (c) What is the magnitude of the acceleration along the second plane (in m/s?)? m/s2 (d) What is the ball's speed 8.20 m along the second plane (in m/s)? m/s (e) What If? You change the angles of the two inclines in such a manner that the new acceleration down the first incline is a, new down = 2a initiel down and up the second incline is a, new un x initial up, What is the ball's speed 8.20 m up the second plane (in m/s)? 2 m/sarrow_forward
- 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?arrow_forwardA spaceship ferrying workers to Moon Base I takes a straight-line path from the earth to the moon, a distance of 384,000 km. Suppose it accelerates at 20.0 m/s2 for the first 15.0 min. of the trip, then travels at constant speed until the last 15.0 min. when it accelerates at –20 m/s2, just coming to rest as it reaches the moon. (a) What is the maximum speed attained? (b) What fraction of the total distance is traveled at constant speed? (c) What total time is required for the trip?arrow_forwardA startled armadillo leaps upward, rising 0.515 m in the first 0.198 s. (a) What is its initial speed as it leaves the ground? (b) What is its speed at the height of 0.515 m? (c) How much higher does it go? Use g=9.81 m/s2.arrow_forward
- A test rocket is fired vertically upward from a well. A catapult gives it initial speed 60 m/s at ground level. Its engines then fire and it accelerates upward at 5.0 m/s² until it reaches an altitude of 1,100 m. At that point its engines fail and the rocket goes into free-fall, with an acceleration of g=9.80 m/s². What is its velocity just before it collides with the Earth? (You will need to consider the motion while the engine is operating separately from the free-fall motion.) [Give your answer in m/s to the nearest 0.1 m/s]arrow_forwardJulie, who has a mass of 65 kg, is enjoying a day at the local water park with some friends. She waits for her turn at the top of a water slide and then begins sliding down. The topof the water slide is 12 m above the pool and the bottom is 1 m above the pool. How fast is she moving when she reaches the bottom, in m/s? (Round your answer to one decimal place if necessary.)arrow_forwardStarting from rest, a bus leaves a gas station with a constant acceleration of 2 m/s˄2 until it reaches a speed of 10 m/s. The bus then continues to move with this speed (10 m/s) for 5 s. Then the bus decelerates at 2.5 m/s˄2 until it stops. What is the total distance traveled by the bus? (Answer: 95 m)arrow_forward
