A baseball is hit with a bat and, as a result, its direction is completely reversed and its final speed becomes half of the original speed. If the actual contact with the bat lasts 0.60 s, what is the ratio of the final speed to the magnitude of the average acceleration?
An object has an initial velocity of 15 m/s. How long must it accelerate at a constant rate of 3 m/s square before it's final velocity is equal to twice it's initial velocity?
A baseball is hit almost straight up into the air with a speed of 24 m/s . Estimate how long it is in the air. Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
The brakes are applied to a moving car, causing it to uniformly slow down. While slowing, it moves a distance of 40.0 m in 7.00 s to a final velocity of 2.05 m/s, at which point the brakes are released. (a) What was its initial speed (in m/s), just before the brakes were applied? i have tried so many ways to solve this and i cant please explain
Formula One racers speed up much more quickly than normal passenger vehicles, and they also can stop in a much shorter distance. A Formula One racer travelling at 90 m/sm/s can stop in a distance of 110 mm. What is the magnitude of the car's acceleration as it slows during braking? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
A bungee jumper reaches a speed of 40 m/s just as the cord begins to stretch. If the time of stretch is 4s, what is the magnitude of the jumpers average deceleration?
The driver of a truck slams on the brakes when he sees a tree blocking the road. The truck slows down uniformly with an acceleration of -5.60 m/s2 for 4.20 s, making skid marks 62.4 m long that end at the tree. With what speed does the truck then strike the tree?
In 1967, New Zealander Burt Munro set the world record for an Indian motorcycle, on the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, with a maximum speed of 183.58 mi/h. The one‐way course was 5.00 mi long. Acceleration rates are often described by the time it takes to reach 60.0 mi/h from rest. If this time was 4.00 s, and Burt accelerated at this rate until he reached his maximum speed, a. how long did it take Burt to complete the course? b. Sketch position vs time, velocity vs. time, and acceleration vs. time graphs for the race.
A police car gets passed by a car traveling at a constant speed of 150.0 km/hr. The police car accelerates from rest at 5.00 m/s2, the moment the two cars are side by side. How long does it take the police officer to catch the car?
The speed of a nerve impulse in the human body is about 100 m/s. If you accidentally stub you toe in the dark, estimate the time it takes the nerve impulse to travel to your brain. (Assume that you are approximately 2.00 m tall and that the nerve impulse travels at uniform speed.)
The driver of a car slams on the brakes when he sees a tree blocking the road. The car slows uniformly with acceleration of -5.40 m/s2 for 4.15 s, making straight skid marks 63.3 m long, all the way to the tree. With what speed (in m/s) does the car then strike the tree? m/s
Rocket-powered sleds are used to test the responses of humans to acceleration. Starting from rest, one sled can reach a speed of 444 m/s in 1.80 s and can be brought to a stop again in 2.15 s. Find the acceleration of the sled as it is braking and compare it to the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity.
