A car traveling at 35 m/s suddenly runs out of gas while driving
up a 7° incline. How long will it take for the car to stop after it
runs out of gas (if it doesn't use its brakes and there is no
friction)? How far will it travel before it stops?
To Merge into the highway you need to increase your speed from 50 km/h to 100
km/h. If your car can accelerate at 8.0 m/s², what should the minimum length of the
ramp be? (report your answer in meters)

- The next two questions are going to deal with Superman’s home planet of Krypton. Here on Earth, an athletic man can do a standing jump of about 1.5 m. On the moon, where gravity is 6 times weaker, an athletic man can do a standing jump of about 9.0 m. Originally, Superman was said to be able to “leap tall buildings with a single bound”. Based on this expression, let’s assume that Superman can jump 200 m here on Earth. Using this information, what is the gravitational acceleration, g, of Krypton?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?

Before the state legislature votes on funding for the project, they would like you to prepare a report on the benefits of upgrading the elevators. One of the numbers that they have requested is the time it will take the elevator to go from the ground floor to the 102nd floor observatory. They are unlikely to approve the project unless the new elevators make the trip much faster than the old elevators. If state law mandates that elevators cannot accelerate more than 23.90 m/s2 or travel faster than 19.3 m/s, what is the minimum time in which an elevator can travel the 373 m from the ground floor to the observatory floor? minimum travel time: ?arrow_forwardOn the surface of Mars, the acceleration due to gravity is 3.7m/s2.

- When a car is moving at x miles per hour and the driver decides to slam on the brakes, the car will travel x + 1/20 x2 feet. (The general formula is f (x) = ax + bx2, where the constant a depends on the driver’s reaction time and theconstant b depends on the weight of the car and the type of tires.) If a car travels 175 feet after the driver decides to stop, how fast was the car moving?
