You are driving a car along a straight road at 133 kph. Suddenly, you saw a cat crossing the road and you apply the brakes decelerating the car at a constant rate of -49.5 m/s2. If your reaction time is 1.75 seconds, what is the shortest stopping distancefrom the moment you see the cat? Illustrate the problem.
1. Falls resulting in hip fractures are a major cause of injury and even death to the elderly. Typically, the hip's speed at impact is about 2.0m/s. If this can be reduced to 1.3m/s or less, the hip will usually not fracture. One way to do this is by wearing elastic hip pads. (a) If a typical pad is 5.0 cm thick and compresses by 2.0 cm during the impact of a fall, what constant acceleration (in m/s²) does the hip undergo to reduce its speed from 2.0 m s to 1.3m/s (b) The acceleration you found in part (a) may seem rather large, but to assess its effects on the hip fully, calculate how long it lasts. Note: convert cm to m first.
Nerve impulses in giant axons ofthe squid can travel with a speed of 25.0 m>s. How fast is this in(a) ft>s and (b) mi>h?
In World War II, there were several reported cases of airmen who jumped from their flaming airplanes with no parachute to escape certain death. Some fell about 20,000 feet (6000 m), and some of them survived, with few life- threatening injuries. For these lucky pilots, the tree branches and snow drifts on the ground allowed their deceleration to be relatively small. If we assume that a pilot's speed upon impact was 123 mph (54 m/s), then what was his deceleration? Assume that the trees and snow stopped him over a distance of 3.0 m.
2/44 The driver of a car, which is initially at rest at the top A of the grade, releases the brakes and coasts down the grade with an acceleration in feet per sec- ond squared given by a = 3.22 0.004v2, where u is the velocity in feet per second. Determine the veloc- ity VB at the bottom B of the grade. A 600' υ B

A landscape architect is planning an artificial waterfall in a city park. Water flowing at 1.70 m/s will leave the end of a horizontal channel at the top of a vertical wall h = 2.35 m high, and from there it will fall into a pool (Fig. P3.42). (a) Will the space behind the waterfall be wide enough for a pedestrian walkway? (b) To sell her plan to the city council, the architect wants to build a model to standard scale, which is one-twelfth actual size. How fast should the water flow in the channel in the model?

A student at the top of a building of height h throws one ball upward with a speed of vi and then throws a second ball downward with the same initial speed vi. 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 pilot ejects from his aircraft and falls 80 m from the ground without friction. Whenhe opens his parachute, he decelerates at 3.5 m/s2. The pilot hits the ground at 5 m/s.How long was the pilot in the air and at what height did he begin his fall?
