Chantal travels by bike at a constant speed on a flat path. It slows down by climbing a hill. At the top of the coast, the path is again flat and it accelerates to resume its initial cruising speed. Then, going down the coast, she accelerates. Finally, being again in front of a hill to climb, it takes advantage of its speed and lets itself slide without pedaling to the complete stop (zero speed). Sketch the graph of Chantal's speed according to time

A student at the top of a building of height h throws one ball upward with a speed of i and then throws a second ball downward with the same initial speed i. Just before it reaches the ground, is the final speed of the ball thrown upward (a) larger, (b) smaller, or (c) the same in magnitude, compared with the final speed of the ball thrown downward?
A ball starts from rest and accelerates at 0.5(H) m/s2 while moving down an inclined plane 9.00 m long. When it reaches the bottom, the ball rolls up another plane, where it comes to rest after moving 15.0 m on that plane. (a) What is the speed of the ball at the bottom of the first plane? (b) During what lime interval does the ball roll down the first plane? (c) What is the acceleration along the second plane? (d) What is the balls speed 8.00 m along the second plane?
Songlu loves Vin Diesel and has watched every Fast and Furious movie, even Tokyo Drift! To get Vin Diesel's attention on TicTok she decides to redo one of his movie stunts. Songlu rents a Porsche 911 convertible, pays the extra $10 per day for insurance, and then drives to Big Bear. When she gets there, Songlu puts on her parachute and drives at a speed of 215 mph (96.1 m/s) off of a 450 m tall cliff, jumping out mid air so she can use her parachute on the way down. How far does Rubbab's rented Porsche 911 land from the base of the cliff? O 832 m O 614 m O 1,230 m O 921 m
6. A crazy, young boy on a sled is able to get up to an incredible speed of 22.5 m/s (yes, he is wearing a helmet!) along a frictionless horizontal surface while he approaches an icy hill with a vertical height of 11 m, as shown. He makes it to the top, and then flies off horizontally from the ledge of the hill. How far from the base of the hill does the boy land? 225 mis Figure 1
8. A person standing on a 25-m high ledge atop a cliff drops a rock. At the same time, another person at the base of the cliff throws another rock straight upward at a speed of 15 m/s. Assume that air resistance is negligible and g = 9.8 m/s². How high from the base of the cliff will the two rocks meet?
2. As you drive your car along a country road at night, a deer jumps out of the woods and stands in the middle of the road ahead of you. This occurs just as you are passing from a 55 mi/h zone to a 50 mi/h zone. At the 50 mi/h speed-limit sign, you slam on the car's brakes, causing them to lock up, and skid to a stop inches from the startled deer. As you breathe a sigh of relief, you hear the sound of a police siren. The policeman proceeds to write you a ticket for driving 56 mi/h in 50 mi/h zone. Because of your preparation in physics, you are able to use the 25 m long skid marks that your car left behind as evidence that you were not speeding. The coefficient of kinetic friction between automobile tires and dry concrete is 0.80. How fast were you going before you slammed on the brakes? (44 mi/h
I need help with this problem A student in Physics 211 decides to do an experiment. They travel to a city and climb to the roof of a building that is 3.0 x 102 m tall. Then, at the same instant, they drop one rock while a second rock is thrown downward with an initial speed of 16 m/s. Assume both rocks experience negligible air resistance while falling. How much EARLIER does the thrown rock strike the ground? A) 1.1 s B) 1.5 s C) 1.4 s D) they land exactly at the same time

1. In 1992, a 14-kg meteorite struck a car in Peekskill, NY, leaving a 20-cm-deep dent in the trunk. If the meteorite was moving at 500 m/s before striking the car, what was the magnitude of its acceleration while stopping?
5. A supply plane needs to drop a package of food to scientists working on a glacier in Greenland. The plane flies 100 m above the glacier at a speed of 150 m/s. How far short of the target should it drop the package?
