Kendra is having her breakfast on a balcony 20m high when she accidentally knocks down a flower pot. A man, 10m away, is innocently walking along the street at a constant velocity of 4 m/s when the pot fell. Will the innocent man be hit by the pot, or will he miraculously be able to avoid the impending accident? The man is 1.7m tall. EXPLAIN AND PROVE YOUR ANSWER.
A man flies a small airplane from Fargo to Bismarck, North
Dakota
a distance of 180 miles. Because he is flying into
---
a head wind, the trip takes him 2 hours. On the way back,
the wind is still blowing at the same speed, so the return
trip takes only 1 hour 12 minutes. What is his speed in still
air, and how fast is the wind blowing?
Your answer is
his speed equals
the wind speed equals

One complaint concerns a stop sign at the corner of Pine Street and 1st Street. Residents complain that the speed limit in the area (55 mph) is too high to allow vehicles to stop in time. Under normal conditions this is not a problem, but when fog rolls in visibility can reduce to only 155 ft. Since fog is a common occurrence in this region, you decide to investigate. The state highway department states that the effective coefficient of friction between a rolling wheel and asphalt ranges between 0.536 and 0.599, whereas the effective coefficient of friction between a skidding (locked) wheel and asphalt ranges between 0.350 and 0.480. Vehicles of all types travel on the road, from small VW bugs weighing 1310 lb to large trucks weighing 8.40 x 10° lb. Considering that some drivers will brake properly when slowing down and others will skid to stop, calculate the minimum and maximum…arrow_forward
