UNIFORMLY ACCELERATED MOTION Problem-Solving

1. A car traveling at 22.4 m/s skids to a stop in 2.55 s. Determine the skidding distance of the car (assume uniform acceleration). 2. A bike accelerates uniformly from rest to a speed of 7.10 m/s over a distance of 35.4 m. Determine the acceleration of the bike. 3. An engineer is designing the runway for an airport. Of the planes which will use the airport, the lowest acceleration rate is likely to be 3 m/s2. The takeoff speed for this plane will be 65 m/s. Assuming this minimum acceleration, what is the minimum allowed length for the runway? 4. If basketball player has a vertical leap of 1.29 m, then what is his takeoff speed and his hang time (total time to move …show more content…

Do you have to move away from your initial position for you not to lose points? Or you can just stay in place, he will not hit you anyway.

C. Target is Lower than Launch point

1. You are located uphill, 4m high. Your target is located downhill at a horizontal distance of 50 m. You have fired at an angle of 350, the bullet’s initial velocity is 170m/s. Will you be able to hit the target? Without changing the initial velocity and the hang time of the bullet, at what angle should you aim the gun for you to hit the target?

2. Your opponent is at a vertical distance of 200 m from you and at a horizontal distance of 70 m away from you. He has fired his cannon at an angle of 250, with an initial velocity of 50m/s. Do you have to move away from your initial position for you not to lose points? Or you can just stay in place, he will not hit you anyway.

3. A soccer ball is kicked horizontally off a 22.0-meter high hill after 3s it lands a distance of 35.0 meters from the edge of the hill. What is the initial velocity of the soccer ball? D. Projectile Dropped from a Moving System

1. A rescue plane wants to drop package isolated mountain climbers on a rocky ridge 235 m below. If the plane is traveling horizontally with a speed of 70m/s. How far in advance of the recipients (horizontal distance) must the goods be dropped? What is the velocity of the package upon reaching the ground?

2. Your avatar is not moving,

    Physics 221 Summer 2012 HOMEWORK #3 Due Monday July 2, 2012 1 James Bond (90 kg), outfitted with perfectly matching skis and skiware, is at the top of a steep slope that a secret spy like him can easily handle. He lets himself go from rest and smoothly slides down the h = 15 m high hill. A big parking lot lies at the bottom of the hill. Since the parking area has been cleared of snow, the friction between the ground and the skis brings our hero to a halt at point D, located at a distance….

    The factors that affect the motion of a falling object Scientific Knowledge When an object falls, many forces are acted upon it: gravity, friction, air resistance and, if in the water, up thrust. When an object starts to fall, gravity over powers air resistance, however, as an object starts to reach terminal velocity (its maximum speed) the opposite forces start to even out until they are equal. Some people believe that if the forces are balanced then the object has stopped moving, meanwhile they….

    Time and Distance Overcome Eula Biss discusses in her essay "Time and Distance Overcome" how the invention of the telephone ultimately resulted in one of the many racist acts in history. Black men were hung every day without even being guilty of charge. She certainly puts a lot of emphasis on describing these hangings which sort of makes her essay quite monotone, but in the end definitely makes this essay a lot more personal. I think that the purpose of this essay is to bring back the racial question….
