- An aircraft starts at rest and is accelerated for 14.4 seconds, at which time the aircraft launches. If the distance traveled from the starting point to the launch point was 372.3 m, what was the launch velocity of the aircraft in m/s? Assume the acceleration is constant.

What is the maglev train’s average velocity?arrow_forwardCould I have help with this average speed and velocity problem. I already know the answers"average velocity = 2.7 m/s due east, average speed = 8.0 m/s" but I need a detailed explanantion on how and why because I am not understanding and getting the same answersarrow_forward

It travels at a rate of 96m(i)/(h). How long will it take the second train to catch up to the first?arrow_forward
- A particle is moving with a velocity of 60m/s in the positive x-direction at t = 0s. Between t = 0s andt = 15s, the velocity decreases uniformly to zero. What was the acceleration during this 15s interval? Whatis the signi cance of the sign of your answer?arrow_forwardOn February 15, 2013, a superbolide meteor (brighter than the Sun) entered Earth's atmosphere over Chelyabinsk, Russia, and exploded at an altitude of 25.75km. Eyewitnesses could feel the intense heat from the fireball, and the blast wave from the explosion blew out windows in buildings. The blast wave took approximately 5minutes 30 seconds to reach ground level. (a) What was the average velocity of the blast wave? b) Compare this with the speed of sound, which is 343 m/s at sea level.arrow_forwardAn object with an initial velocity of 3.50 m/s moves east along a straight and level path. The object then undergoes a constant acceleration of 1.80 m/s? east for a period of 5.00 s. How far does the object move while it is accelerating? Answer: m.arrow_forward
- I need help on this problem: You go south of your friend's house 150 miles away at 50.0 MPH. Your friend is not there so you return home, without spending any time there, at 30 MPH. What is your average speed. What is you average velocity?arrow_forwardThe acceleration of a particle moving along a straight line is a = (11 - 1.0s) m/s², where s is in meters. If v = 0 when s = 0, determine the magnitude of the particle's velocity when s = 7.0 m.arrow_forward5r+2r?, 8e?
