•An egg is thrown straight down at \(1.5 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) from a tall tower. Two seconds \((2\) s) later, a second egg is thrown straight up at \(4.0 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\). How far apart are the two eggs \(4 \mathrm{~s}\) after the second egg is thrown? What is the minimum separation between the eggs and when does it occur? Ignore the effects of air resistance.
Estimate the speed of Earth as it orbits the Sun. Explain any assumptions that you make in your estimation.
A person is driving a car down a straight road. The instantaneous acceleration is increasing with time, and is in the direction of the car's motion. The speed of the car is A. increasing. B. decreasing. C. constant. D. increasing but then decreasing. E. decreasing but then increasing.
Calc Are the units for average velocity \((\Delta x / \Delta t)\) the same as the units for instantaneous velocity \((d x / d t)\) ? Explain your answer.
A car is driving at a speed of \(40 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}\) toward an intersection just as the light changes from green to yellow. If the driver has a reaction time of \(0.75 \mathrm{~s}\) and the braking acceleration of the car is \(-5.5 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\), find the minimum distance \(x_{\min }\) the car travels after the light changes before coming to a stop.
