Solve Physics Problems: Moon Feather Drop, Bike Acceleration & Horse Gallop

  • Thread starter 4everYOURS
  • Start date
In summary, the three of you are struggling to solve three problems involving distance, acceleration, and time. The first problem involves an astronaut dropping a feather on the moon and needing to calculate the time it takes to hit the surface. The second problem involves a bike accelerating and then traveling at a constant speed, and the total distance traveled needs to be determined. The third problem involves a horse cantering away from its trainer and then turning abruptly, with the distance traveled in each stage needing to be calculated. You are looking for someone to provide you with the necessary equations and help to solve these problems.

Ok there are three of us trying to figure out these problems and we just can't seem to figure out any of them so it'd be the greatest thing in the world if some one could enlighten us on what we're doing wrong. Here are the problems:

13. An astronaut drops a feather from 1.1 m above the surface of the moon. If the acceleration of gravity on the moon is 1.62 m/s2 downward, how long does it take the feather to hit the moon's surface?

2. A bike first accelerates from 0.0 m/s to 4.5 m/s in 4.5 s, then continues at this constant speed for another 3.5 s. What is the total distance traveled by the bike?

5. A horse canters away from its trainer in a straight line, moving 150 m away in 18.0 s. It then turns abruptly and gallops halfway back in 4.3 s.

Help would be sooo much appreciated.

13. use the suvat eqn of motion for distance traveled under a constant acceleration.

2. work out the acceleration during the first stage of movement, hence distance travelled.

5. there's no question.

constant acceleration.

You need to use the following formula:
[tex]d = v_0t + \frac{at^2}{2}[/tex]
