A cyclist sprints at the end of a race to clinch a victory. She has an initial velocity of 11.5 m/s and accelerates at a rate of 0.500m/s2 for 7.00 s. (a) What is her final velocity? (b) The cyclist continues at this velocity to the finish. If she is 300 m from the finish line when she starts to accelerate, how much time did she save? (c) The second-place winner was 5.00 m ahead when the winner started to accelerate, but he was unable to accelerate, and traveled at 11.8 m/s until the finish line. What was the difference in finish time in seconds between the winner and runner-up? How far back was the runner-up when the winner crossed the finish line?
(a) Calculate the height of a cliff if it takes 2.35 s for a rock to hit the ground when it is thrown straight up from the cliff with an initial velocity of 8.00 m/s. (b) How long a time would it take to reach the ground if it is thrown straight down with the same speed?

| A Thomson's gazelle can run at very high speeds, but its acceleration is relatively modest. A reasonable model for the sprint of a gazelle assumes an acceleration of 4.2 m/s² for 6.5 s, after which the gazelle continues at a steady speed. a. What is the gazelle's top speed? b. A human would win a very short race with a gazelle. The best time for a 30 m sprint for a human runner is 3.6 s. How much time would the gazelle take for a 30 m race? c. A gazelle would win a longer race. The best time for a 200 m sprint for a human runner is 19.3 s. How much time would the gazelle take for a 200 m race?
A Flea in Flight In this problem, you will apply kinematic equations to a jumping flea. Take the magnitude of free-fall acceleration to be -9.80 m/s2. Ignore air resistance. A flea jumps straight up to a maximum height of 0.420 m. What is its initial velocity vias it leaves the ground? How long is the flea in the air from the time it jumps to the time it hits the ground?
You are driving down a straight road at night in your McLaren MCL34 Formula 1 racecar at an entirely illegal speed of 98 m/s when Bambi and Thumper jump onto the road in front of you. Because you were texting while driving (also illegal), your reaction time is a rather slow; 1.3 seconds before your foot touches the brake. How far did you travel during this time? O a. 98 m O b. 127 m O c. 101 m O d. 134 m O e. 112 m Clear my choice
A student is running to catch the campus shuttle bus, which is at a stopped at the bus stop. Thestudent is running at a constant speed of 6.00 m/s; she can’t run any faster. When the student isstill 60.0 m from the bus, it starts to pull away. The bus moves with a constant acceleration of0.180m/s 2 . d) What is the minimum speed the student must have to catch up with the bus? For what timeand distance does she have to run in this case?
Which of the following is a motion diagram between t = 5.00 s and t = 9.00 s? a. options in atttachemnt b. What is the acceleration between t = 5.00 s and t = 9.00 s? If the acceleration is to +x-direction, enter a positive value and if the acceleration is to –x-direction, enter a negative value. anser in m/s^2
The initial velocity of a jet is 230 m/s eastward. The pilot ignites the afterburners, and the jet accelerates eastward at a constant rate for 2.40 s. The final velocity of the jet is 335 m/seastward. What was the jet's displacement during the time it was accelerating? ?m
Wags decides to go on another adventure. He begins by traveling east for 100m. He then moves 75 m in a direction 60◦ west of south. Finally, he accelerates at a rate of 2.5 m/s2, from rest, directly north. How far is he from his starting location 10seconds after he began accelerating? - I know we have to find the displacement but then what?
