- QUESTION 2 A boy standing at the edge of a 5.0-m-high balcony, throws a rock vertically straight up in the air with an initial speed of 15 m/s. The rock then hits the ground 5.0 m directly below the balcony. What is the speed of the rock just before it strikes the ground? Assume that g = 9.8 m/s?. а. 14 m/s b. 12 m/s Ос. 18 m/s d. 16 m/s e. 20 m/sarrow_forwardA hare and a tortoise compete in a race over a course 1.00 km long. The tortoise craws straight and steadily at its maximum speed of 0.200 m/s toward the finish line. The hare runs at its maximum speed 8.00 m/s toward the goal for 0.800 km and then stops to tease the the tortoise. How close to the goal can the hare let the tortoise wins in a photo finish? Assume that, when moving, both animals move steadily at their respective maximum speeds. Pls include figures and fbd.arrow_forwardA hare and a tortoise are having a race along a 2.0km track. The tortoise sets off at a constant speed of 1.6 m/s. The hare is confident that they can win, so first do 1000 meters at 5 m/s turns around and sees the hare and so stops and falls asleep for 10 mins. The hare wakes up and then sees the tortoise too close so speeds up again at 5m/s for another 500 meters after which the Hare again decides to sleep for 5 mins being so are in front. The Hare wakes up and sees the Tortoise! He dashes for the finish another 500 meters away at 8 m/s. To no avail as the story goes. By how much did the Tortoise win?arrow_forward

- rocket, on an unknown planet, launches straight upward. Starting from rest, the rocket accelerates until it reaches 25 m/s then maintains that velocity until its boosters shut off. It eventually falls back to the planet. ASSUME: Starting at t = 0, the rocket accelerates upwards a total distance of 10 m, where it reaches an instantaneous velocity of 25 m/s The moment it reaches an instantaneous velocity of 25 m/s, it travels 30 m upward at a constant speed, then the engines cut off. The moment the engines cut off: the rocket is in free fall From the time it initially launches (t = 0) to the time it lands back on the planet is 7 s The acceleration due to gravity is constant on this planet. HOWEVER you may not assume g = 10 m/s2 Air resistance is negligible DETERMINE: The acceleration due to gravity on this planetarrow_forwardBIOLOGY: Falls resulting in hip fractures are a major cause of injury and even death to theelderly. Typically, the hip’s speed at impact is about 2.0 m/s If this can be reduced to 1.3 m/s orless, the hip will usually not fracture. One way to do this is by wearing elastic hip pads.a) If a typical pad is 5.0 cm thick and compresses by 2.0 cm during the impact of a fall, whatconstant acceleration (in m/s 2 ) does the hip undergo to reduce its speed from 2.0 m/s to1.3 m/s?arrow_forward1. Falls resulting in hip fractures are a major cause of injury and even death to the elderly. Typically, the hip's speed at impact is about 2.0m/s. If this can be reduced to 1.3m/s or less, the hip will usually not fracture. One way to do this is by wearing elastic hip pads. (a) If a typical pad is 5.0 cm thick and compresses by 2.0 cm during the impact of a fall, what constant acceleration (in m/s²) does the hip undergo to reduce its speed from 2.0 m s to 1.3m/s (b) The acceleration you found in part (a) may seem rather large, but to assess its effects on the hip fully, calculate how long it lasts. Note: convert cm to m first.arrow_forward

His speed at the bottom is 11 m/s a)What is the length of the incline? b)How long does it take him to reach the bottom?arrow_forwardA ball starts from rest and accelerates at 0.5 m/s² while moving down on a 9 m long inclined plane. 10) When the ball reaches the bottom of this plane, it continues moving with constant velocity along 12 m long horizontal path. Then, it moves up the second inclined surface for 10s and it stops. a) What is the speed of the ball at the bottom of the first inclined plane? b) How long does it take for the ball to reach the bottom of the second inclined plane? c) What is the acceleration in the second inclined plane? d) What is the speed of the ball at the point 8 m away from the bottom of the second inclined plane?
