a. How many days will it take a spaceship to accelerate to the speed of light ( 13.0 * 108 m/s) with the acceleration g? b. How far will it travel during this interval? c. What fraction of a light-year is your answer to part b? A light-year is the distance light travels in one year
FIGURE EX2.7 is a somewhat idealized graph of the velocity of blood in the ascending aorta during one beat of the heart. Approximately how far, in cm, does the blood move during one beat?

Julie drives 100 mi to Grandmother’s house. On the way to Grandmother’s, Julie drives half the distance at 40 mph and half the distance at 60 mph. On her return trip, she drives half the time at 40 mph and half the time at 60 mph. a. What is Julie’s average speed on the way to Grandmother’s house? b. What is her average speed on the return trip?
A sprinter can accelerate with constant acceleration for 4.0 s before reaching top speed. He can run the 100 meter dash in 10.0 s. What is his speed as he crosses the finish line?
Larry leaves home at 9:05 and runs at a constant speed to the lamp post seen in FIGURE EX2.3. He reaches the lamppost at 9:07, immediately turns, and runs to the tree. Larry arrives at the tree at 9:10. a. What is Larry’s average velocity, in m/min, during each of these two intervals? b. What is Larry’s average velocity for the entire run?
