A sports car accelerates from rest to 95 km/h in 4.3 s. What is its average acceleration in ?
Estimate (a) how long it took King Kong to fall straight down from the top of the Empire State Building (380 m high), and (b) his velocity just before 鈥渓anding.鈥
In a putting game, the force with which a golfer strikes a ball is planned so that the ball will stop within some small distance of the cup, say 1.0 m long or short, in case the putt is missed. Accomplishing this from an uphill lie (that is, putting the ball downhill, see Fig. 2鈥47) is more difficult than from a downhill lie. Assume that on a particular green, the ball constantly decelerates atgoing downhill and atgoing uphill to see why. Suppose you have an uphill lie 7.0 m from the cup. Calculate the allowable range of initial velocities you may impart to the ball so that it stops in the range 1.0 m short to 1.0 m long of the cup. Do the same for a downhill lie 7.0 m from the cup. What, in your results, suggests that the downhill putt is more difficult?

Can the velocity of an object be negative when its acceleration is positive? What about vice versa? If yes, give examples in each case.
In the design of a rapid transit system, it is necessary to balance the average speed of a train against the distance between station stops. The more stops there are, the slower the train鈥檚 average speed. To get an idea of this problem, calculate the time it takes a train to make a 15.0-km trip in two situations: (a) the stations at which the trains must stop are 3.0 km apart (a total of 6 stations, including those at the ends); and (b) the stations are 5.0 km apart (4 stations total). Assume that at each station the train accelerates at a rate ofuntil it reaches, then stays at this speed until its brakes are applied for arrival at the next station, at which time it decelerates at. Assume it stops at each intermediate station for 22 s.
