Jeff Bezos just landed on the moon and is conducting an experiment, he drops a hammer from rest from a height of 2.01 m and uses a stopwatch to measure that the hammer takes 1.04 s to hit the ground. 1) Determine the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity on the moon. 2) he then throws the hammer straight up into the Martian sky. If it comes back to his hand in 4.20 s, with what speed did he throw it?

A rocket testing center is conducting tests on a new rocket. The test engineer sets up the rocket horizontally on a cart that runs along a straight track with very little friction. She set up a timer and a radar speed gun at the end of the track. She assumed that the rocket accelerated at constant acceleration. Once the rocket reached the end of the track, the timer reported 11.0 seconds and speed gun reported 100 m/s. How long was the test track?
One of my questions got solved and helped me so much thank you! Here’s another one please. Two trains are 9.82km apart. They travel in opposite directions, to each other. Train A has a speed of 5.87 km/h at departure and an acceleration of 0.29m/s squared. Train B has a speed of 20.3m/s at the start and an acceleration of 0.69m/s squared. B. Determine when the trains meet.
An object is released from rest near and above Earth’s surface from a distance of 10m. After applying the appropriate kinematic equation, a student predicts that it will take 1.43s for the object to reach the ground with a speed of 14.3m/s . After performing the experiment, it is found that the object reaches the ground after a time of 3.2s. What is the final speed of the ball? Assume that the acceleration of the object is constant as it falls.
The first astronaut has landed on Mars. Conducting some physics experiments, she drops a hammer from rest from a height of 2.01 m and uses a stopwatch to measure that the hammer takes 1.04 s to hit the ground. A. Determine the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity on Mars. B. She then throws the hammer straight up into the Martian sky. If she comes back to her hand in 4.20 s, with what speed did she throw it?
Mario rides his motorcycle in going to school. He drives at an average speed of 30 kilometers per hour. The distance between his house and the school is 15 kilometers. Every time he sees his best friend Jessica walking on the road, he invites her for a ride and lowers his speed. On the other hand, he increases his speed when he wakes up late for school. a) If x represents the time it takes Mario to drive to school with the given distance of 15 kilometers, how will you represent the relationship of his speed (y) versus the time (x)?
A car starts from rest and accelerates at a constant 10 m/s2 during aquarter-mile (402 m) race. How fast is the car going at the finish line? I know the answer to this problem is 90 m/s, but I don't know how the book i found it in came to this answer. How am I supposed to solve this problem without knowing either final velocity or time?
A tortoise and a hare are competing in a 1200-meter race. The arrogant hare decides to let the tortoise have a 820-meter head start. When the start gun is fired the hare begins running at a constant speed of 8 meters per second and the tortoise begins crawling at a constant speed of 4.5 meters per second. Which of the following formulas expresses the distance between the tortoise and the hare in meters, d, in terms of the number of seconds, t, since the start gun was fired? Od = 820 - 8t Od = 820 + 3.5t Od = 820 - 3.5t Od = 1200 3.5t Od = 1200 - (8t + 4.5t)
Gaby and her cousin, Fiona, live 45 km apart. Every day, they drive by one another to get to work. Gaby leaves home at 7:00 a.m. and drives at the road speed of 60 km/h. Fiona, however, always leaves home 20 min later and therefore speeds by 10 km/h. Approximately what time will Gaby meet Fiona on the road?
A runner and a cyclist compete in a race over a straight course 20 km long. The runner runs at a steady speed of 10 m/s toward the finish line. The cyclist zips at a speed of 23 m/s toward the finish line for 12 km but upon seeing that he is already far ahead of the runner, he decides to stop and wait for the runner to catch up to him. The runner eventually reaches the cyclist and continues moving toward the finish line. The cyclist waits for a while after the runner passes and then cycles toward the finish line again at 23m/s. Both the cyclist and the runner cross the finish line in the exact same instant. Assume both of them, when moving, move steadily at their respective speeds. (a) How far is the runner from the finish line when the cyclist resumes the race? (b) For how long in time was the cyclist stationery?
A hare and a tortoise are having a race along a 2.0km track. The tortoise sets off at a constant speed of 1.6 m/s. The hare is confident that they can win, so first do 1000 meters at 5 m/s turns around and sees the hare and so stops and falls asleep for 10 mins. The hare wakes up and then sees the tortoise too close so speeds up again at 5m/s for another 500 meters after which the Hare again decides to sleep for 5 mins being so are in front. The Hare wakes up and sees the Tortoise! He dashes for the finish another 500 meters away at 8 m/s. To no avail as the story goes. By how much did the Tortoise win?
Arthur and Betty start walking toward each other when they are 100. m apart. Arthur has a speed of 3.0 m/s and Betty has a speed of 2.0 m/s. Their dog, Spot, starts from Arthur's side at the same time and runs back and forth between them. By the time Arthur and Betty meet, what is Spot's displacement?
A tortoise can run with a speed of 0.11 m/s, and a hare can run 20 times as fast. In a race, they both start at the same time, but the hare stops to rest for 1.0 minutes. The tortoise wins by a shell (40 cm). How long does the race take? What is the length of the race?
