A jet plane has a takeoff speed of v = 74 m/s and can move along the runway at an average acceleration of 1.4 m/s². If the length of the runway is 1.8 km, will the plane be able to use this runway safely? O Yes No
Driving along a crowded freeway, you notice that it takes atime t to go from one mile marker to the next. When you increaseyour speed by 7.9 mi>h, the time to go one mile decreases by 13 s.What was your original speed?
In World War II, there were several reported cases of airmen who jumped from their flaming airplanes with no parachute to escape certain death. Some fell about 20,000 feet (6000 m), and some of them survived, with few life- threatening injuries. For these lucky pilots, the tree branches and snow drifts on the ground allowed their deceleration to be relatively small. If we assume that a pilot's speed upon impact was 123 mph (54 m/s), then what was his deceleration? Assume that the trees and snow stopped him over a distance of 3.0 m.
A rocket sled having an initial speed of 150 mi/hr is slowed by a channel of water. Assume that during the braking process, the acceleration a is given by a(v)=-mu v², where v is the velocity and mu is a constant. If it requires a distance of 2000 ft to slow the sled to 15 mi/hr, determine the value of mu?
A ski jumper starts from rest 54.1 m abovethe ground on a frictionless track and fliesoff the track at an angle of 43.8◦above thehorizontal and at a height of 10.8 m above thelevel ground. Neglect air resistance.The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2.What is his speed when he leaves the track?Answer in units of m/s. b) What is the maximum altitude he attainsafter leaving the track?Answer in units of m. c) Where does he land relative to the end of thetrack?Answer in units of m.

A frustrated physics student throws her physics text straight up with a speed of 15 m/s from a 50 m high bridge. How much time would it take to reach the water? Neglect friction. A Honda Civic travels in a straight line along a road. Its distance x from a stop sign is given as a function of time t by the equation x (t) = at^2 -bt^3, where a = 1.50 m/s^2 and b = 0.05 m/s^3. What is the instantaneous velocity of the car at t = 5 s? At what angle does the force F, where Fx = 6.23N and Fy = – 2.38N, makes with the positive x-axis?
