Question

1.the speed of a nerve impulse in the human body is about 100 m/s. if you accidentally stub your toe in the dark. estimate the time it takes the nerve impulse to travel to your brain if the average height for humans are 1.7 m *

2.the cheetah can reach a top speed of 114 km/h. while chasing its prey in a short sprint, a cheetah starts from rest and runs 45m in a straight line, reaching a final speed of 72 km/h. what is the cheetah's average acceleration during the short sprint?

3.a certain car is capable of accelerating at a rate of 0.6 m/s^2. How long does it take for this car to go from a speed of 55 mi/h to a speed of 60mi/h. (be cautious of the units) *

4.an object moving with uniform acceleration has a velocity of 12cm/s in the positive x-direction when its x-coordinate is 3cm. if its x-coordinate 2s later is -5cm, what is its acceleration? *

5.a truck covers 40 m in 8.5 s while uniformly slowing down to a final velocity of 2.8 m/s. determine the truck's original speed. *
