A rock is dropped from a cliff and hits the ground 6.0 seconds later How high is the cliff
A hammer is dropped off a roof of an apartment building that is 80 meters high How long will it take to hit the ground
The hammer will take square-root(2x80/9.8)= 4.04 seconds to hit
the ground.
The distance is related to the time by s=v0t + 1/2 gt^2 where
vo, the initial velocity is=0.
The answer is 4.04 or rounded is 4 seconds.
You are driving down the road and hit a bump which causes your fishing tackle box to bounce out of the bed of your pickup The box decelerates at a rate of 3 ms and skids 24 meters before coming to
A plane is uniformly accelerated from 60 ms to 80 ms in 12 seconds what is the distance traveled by the plane during this period
((60m/s+80m/s)/2)x12s=840m
A jogger runs at an average speed of 5 ms for 3 minutes then finishes with an average speed of 4 ms for 2 minutes What is his average speed in ms for the run
A speed bike tops a hill at 3.50 ms and accelerates steadily down the hill until reaching a speed of 11.4 ms after 4.20 seconds How far did the bike travel during this period
Find the uniformed acceleration that causes a car's velocity to increase from 32 ms to 96 ms in a period of 8.0 seconds
The average uninformed acceleration is (delta-V) / (delta-T). Delta-V = (96 - 32) = 64 m/s. Delta-T = 8.0 seconds. A = (64 m/s) / (8.0 sec) = 8 m/s2
A plane traveling at 80 ms lands on a runway and comes to rest after 10 seconds What was the plane's deceleration
A jogger runs at an average speed of 5 m/s for 3 minutes, then finishes with an average speed of 4 m/s for 2 minutes What is his average speed in m/s for the run
An arrow is shot straight up at an initial velocity of 250 ms How long will it take the arrow to hit the ground
How far does a plane fly in 15 seconds while its velocity is increasing from 75 ms to 145 m s at a uniform rate of acceleration
If it accelerates from 75 m/s to 145 m/s at a uniform rate, then its average speed during
the acceleration is 0.5(145+75) = 110 m/s.
Distance covered in 15 sec at average speed of 110 m/s = (15 x 110) = 1,650 m = 1.65 km.
What is the acceleration of a car that slows down from 60 ms to 40 m s during a period of 10 seconds
A motorcycle traveling at 15 m s accelerates at a constant rate of 4.0 ms over a distance of 50 meters What is the final velocity of the motorcycle
A rifle is shot straight up and the bullet leaves the barrel at a speed of 245 m s How long will it take the bullet to hit the ground
