vf²= vi² +2as vf² = (19,44)² + 2(9,81)(47) vf = 36,05 m/s to find the t, we can use formula: t = (vf - vi)/a t = (36,05 - 19,44)/9,81 t = 1,693 s. Is it correct?

Homework Statement A car traveling at a constant speed of 24.0m/s passes a trooper hidden behind a billboard. One second after the speeding car passes the billboard, the trooper sets off in a chase with a constant acceleration of 3.0m/s^2. A) How long does it take the trooper to overtake the...

Homework Statement A turtle and a rabbit engage in a footrace over a distance of 4.00km. The rabbit runs 0.500km and then stops for a 90min nap. Upon awakening, he remembers the race and runs twice as fast. Finishing the course in a total time of 1.75h, the rabbit wins the race. A) Calculate...

Homework Statement A Rocket with an engine that causes a net acceleration of 4m/s^2 launches with an initial velocity of 20m/s. The engine fuel lasts for 0.8s. A secondary engine then fires causing a net acceleration of 2m/s^2 for 0.6s How far off the ground is the rocket when the secondary...

Homework Statement A person riding a bike travels at an average velocity of 3m/s for 30min. The person then takes a water break for 15 min. The person finally travels a distance of 450m at an average velocity of 1.5m/s. What is the persons average velocity? 2. Homework Equations [/B] Average...

Homework Statement A commercial claims that a car can stop on a dime (17.9mm). If a car is initially traveling at 13.4m/s, what acceleration would the car experience coming to a stop in that short distance? Homework Equations avg acceleration Coversion The Attempt at a Solution I recognize...

Homework Statement A ball is traveling at 3m/s then bounces off of a tennis racket and returns at 2m/s. If the ball is in contact with the racket for 12ms, what is the average acceleration? Homework Equations average acceleration and conversion a=Vf-Vi/Tf-Ti 1s= 1000ms The Attempt at a...

Homework Statement A straight line is marked in meters in a field. A student begins at the zero position mark and ends at the 50 position mark. However, the student did not walk along the straight line. He uses a wheel that has a circumference of 1m and finds that it turns 100 times as he...

Homework Statement a) A ball is thrown in the -y direction off of a cliff with a velocity of 7m/s. If the ball takes 1.45s to reach the ground, how high off of the ground is the cliff? (Answer: -20m) Homework Equations Vf=Vi+a(t) Displacement=Vi(t)+1/2a(t)^2 Vf^2=Vi^2+2a(Displacement)...

I created this example to see if i can explain how humans walk but I can't. If I'm correct, when we push the ground to move forward we apply a force with the opposite direction (backward). Let's name this force Fp (for push). Because of that force, a friction force is being applied to us with...

Homework Statement The initial speed of a ball up an inclined plane is 3 m/s upwards. The ball reaches its highest point after 1.2 seconds. a) find the acceleration. b) how far has the ball gotten during this time? c) how far has the ball rolled after 0.4 s and after 2.4 seconds? Homework...

Homework Statement Concept Simulation 2.3 provides some background for this problem. A ball is thrown vertically upward, which is the positive direction. A little later it returns to its point of release. The ball is in the air for a total time of 8.21 s. What is its initial velocity? Neglect...

I tried but I can't.
