Songlu loves Vin Diesel and has watched every Fast
and Furious movie, even Tokyo Drift! To get Vin
Diesel's attention on TicTok she decides to redo one
of his movie stunts. Songlu rents a Porsche 911
convertible, pays the extra $10 per day for insurance,
and then drives to Big Bear. When she gets there,
Songlu puts on her parachute and drives at a speed of
215 mph (96.1 m/s) off of a 450 m tall cliff, jumping
out mid air so she can use her parachute on the way
down. How far does Rubbab's rented Porsche 911
land from the base of the cliff?

- Hi there, I need some help. Can anyone walk me through how to complete this problem? I have tried working this out 4 times and each time was wrong. I don't know what I'm doing incorrectly! Entrance and exit ramps for freeways are often circular stretches of road. As you go around one at a constant speed, you will experience a constant acceleration. Suppose you drive through an entrance ramp at a modest speed and your acceleration is 3.0 m/s^2. What will be the acceleration if you double your speed?arrow_forwardI need help with this problem A student in Physics 211 decides to do an experiment. They travel to a city and climb to the roof of a building that is 3.0 x 102 m tall. Then, at the same instant, they drop one rock while a second rock is thrown downward with an initial speed of 16 m/s. Assume both rocks experience negligible air resistance while falling. How much EARLIER does the thrown rock strike the ground? A) 1.1 s B) 1.5 s C) 1.4 s D) they land exactly at the same timearrow_forwardYou throw a baseball directly upward at time t = 0 at an initial speed of 12.1 m/s. What is the maximum height the ball reaches above where it leaves your hand? Ignore air resistance and take g = 9.80 m/s². maximum height: 7.47 At what times does the ball pass through half the maximum height? earlier time at half maximum height: later time at half maximum height: m Sarrow_forward
- A small block has constant acceleration as it slides down a frictionless incline. The block is released from rest at the top of the incline, and its speed after it has traveled 6.00 mm to the bottom of the incline is 3.80 m/sm/s. A). What is the speed of the block when it is 4.60 mm from the top of the incline? Express your answer with the appropriate units.arrow_forwardYou and your family are going on a road trip to visit your recently married cousin in B.C. The total round trip distance is 2100 km. On the way to B.C., you encounter no setbacks and you are able to drive on average at a constant speed. On the way home from B.C., you encounter a snowstorm and your mom has to slow down to avoid getting into an accident. Thus, your average speed decreases by 10 km/h. If the total driving time was 42 hours, what was your average speed on the way to B.C.? Recall distance = speed x time.arrow_forwardAt t = 0, a particle leaves the origin with a velocity of 9 m/s in the positive y direction and moves in the x-y plane with a constant acceleration of (2i - 4j) m/s². At the instant the x coordinate of the particle is 15 m, what is the speed of the particle? Select one: a. 12 m/s b. 14 m/s c. 10 m/s d. 16 m/sarrow_forward
- A small cart is rolling freely on an inclined ramp with a constant acceleration of 0.50 m/s2 in the -x direction. At time t = 0, the cart has a velocity of 2.0 m/s in the +x-direction. If the cart never leaves the ramp, which of the following statements correctly describes the motion of the cart at a time t > 5 s? A. The cart is traveling in the +x-direction and is slowing down. B. The cart is traveling in the +x-direction and is speeding up. C. The cart is traveling in the –x-direction and is slowing down. D. The cart is traveling in the –x-direction and is speeding up.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? Answers: a) v = 3 m/s, b) t = 10 s, c) a = -0.3 m/s² (parallel to that surface and in the downward direction), d) v =2.05 m/sarrow_forwardJeremy is very distraught about all the work he has due for school. One day he just could not take it anymore and decides to jump from the roof of the school. While standing on the edge of the roof Jeremy starts to think. His thoughts turn to his favorite class (physics). He knows that the roof of the school is 11.2 meters above the sidewalk. Jeremy calculates the following: a) His velocity just before he would hit the ground. b) How long it would take for him to hit the ground. c) His velocity after 1.15 seconds. After seeing these answers he decided not to jump. Physics saves another life. What were his answers? (60 ptsarrow_forward
- I am currently learning about kinematics in my physics class. For one of the questions, it asks me to solve a question that asks me to find the magnitude of acceleration. I have found answers ranging between 3 and 4, but everytime I put my answer into Webassign it is wrong. I was wondering how I would find the magnitude of acceleration given the time and distance. Thank youarrow_forwardThe school zone in front of your school has a posted speed limit of 25 mi/h, which is about 11 m/s. Let’s examine the stopping of a car in several different situations. a). The crossing guard holds up her stop sign, and the driver is paying attention well. The car moves at a constant velocity of 11 m/s for 2.3 seconds while the driver reacts, then slows down at a constant rate of -4.5 m/s2 . What is the stopping distance for the car in this situation? b). A child appears to be running into the street ahead. It takes 2.3 seconds for the driver to react and begin to brake, but this time at a rate of -7.5 m/s2 . What is the stopping distance for the car in this situation? c). The driver is looking at her phone and has a total reaction time of 4.6 seconds as the car is moving at a constant speed of 11 m/s. If the driver slams on her brakes and slows down at a rate of -8.2 m/s2 , what is the stopping distance for the car in this situation?arrow_forwardA girl is standing at the edge of a cliff 100. m above the ground. She reaches out over the edge of the cliff and throws a rock straight upward with a speed 8.00 m/s. a) How long does it take the rock to hit the ground? b) What is the speed of the rock the instant before it hits the ground?
