A particle moving along the x-axis has its velocity described by the function m/s, where t is in s. Its initial position is x0 = 1 m at t0 = 0 s. At t = 1 s what are the particle’s (a) position, (b) velocity, and (c) acceleration?
Two cars are driving at the same constant speed on a
straight road, with car 1 in front of car 2. Car 1 suddenly starts
to brake with constant acceleration and stops in 10 m. At the
instant car 1 comes to a stop, car 2 begins to brake with the
same acceleration. It comes to a halt just as it reaches the back of car 1. What was the separation between the cars before they starting braking?
A rock is dropped from the top of a tall building. The rock’s displacement in the last second before it hits the ground is 45% of the entire distance it falls. How tall is the building?
David is driving a steady 30 m/s when he passes Tina, who is sitting in her car at rest. Tina begins to accelerate at a steady 2.0 m/s2 at the instant when David passes.
a. How far does Tina drive before passing David?
b. What is her speed as she passes him?
As a science project, you drop a watermelon off the top of the Empire State Building, 320 m above the sidewalk. It so happens that Superman flies by at the instant you release the watermelon. Superman is headed straight down with a speed of 35 m/s. How fast is the watermelon going when it passes Superman?
