The speed of an object is decreasing. This means а. The velocity and acceleration of the object are in the same direction O b. The velocity and acceleration of the object are in opposite directions O c. The acceleration of the object is zero O d. The velocity and acceleration of the object are perpendicular

A stuntman sitting on a tree limb wishes to drop vertically onto a horse galloping under the tree. The constant speed of the horse is 10.0 m/s, and the man is initially 3.00 m above the level of the saddle. (a) What must be the horizontal distance between the saddle and the limb when the man makes his move? (b) How long is he in the air?
Professional baseball player Nolan Ryan could pitch a baseball at approximately 160.0 km/h. At that average velocity, how long did it take a ball thrown by Ryan to reach home plate, which is 18.4 m from the pitcher’s mound? Compare this with the average reaction time of a human to a visual stimulus, which is 0.25 s.
Clay Matthews, a linebacker for the Green Bay Packers, can reach a speed of 10.0 m/s. At the start of a play, Matthews runs downfield at 45 with respect to the 50-yard line and covers 8.0 m in 1 s. He then fins straight down the field at 90 with respect to the 50-yard line for 12 m, with an elapsed time of 1.2 s. (a) What is Matthews’ final displacement from the start of the play? (b) What is his average velocity?
When we subtract a velocity vector from another velocity vector, the result is: a.an acceleration. b.another velocity. c.a scalar. d.a displacement.
