A cyclist travels from point A to point B in 10 min. During the first 2.0 min of her trip, she maintains a uniform acceleration of 0.051 m/s2. She then travels at constant velocity for the next 5.0 min. Next, she decelerates at a constant rate so that she comes to a rest at point B 3.0 min later.

Starting from rest at home plate, a baseball player runs to first base (90 ft away). He uniformly accelerates over the first 10.7 ft to his maximum speed, which is then maintained until he crosses first base. If the overall run is completed in 3.4 seconds, determine his maximum speed, the acceleration over the first 10.7 feet, and the time duration of the acceleration. t = 0 Answers: Vmax a = 10.7 t= i i i 79.3' t = 3.4 sec ft/sec ft/sec² sec
A cyclist travels from point A to point B in 10 mm. During the first 2.0 mm of her trip, she maintains a uniform acceleration of 0.090 m/s². She then travels at constant velocity for the next 5.0 nun. Next, she decelerates at a constant rate so that she cons to a rest at point B 3.0 mm later. (a) Sketch the velocity- versus-tine graph for the trip.
A car starts from rest and reaches a velocity of 18.0 m/s in 12.0 seconds. The car then continues traveling at a constant velocity for 20.0 seconds. At the end of the 20.0 seconds, the car uniformly decelerates at .600 m/s2 and finally comes to rest. How far did the car travel from start to finish ?
A turtle and a rabbit engage in a footrace over a distance of 4km. The rabbit runs 0.5km and then stops for a 90-min nap. Upon awakening, he remembers the race and runs twice as fast. Finishing the course in a total time of 1.75h, the rabbit wins the race. Calculate the average speed of the rabbit
Elana walks at a speed of 1.3 m/s into a train terminal and realizes that her train is already pulling out of thestation. She starts running with an acceleration of 3.0 m/s^2 in a straight line toward the train, which has a10 m head start and moves with a constant leisurely velocity of 2.0 m/s in the same direction. If she runswith this acceleration for 2.0 s and then maintains her speed, how long (total time) does it take her to reachthe train? How far does she have to run to reach the train?
You are standing on a circular track that is 315 m long. You begin jogging at the start line and keep jogging until you complete one full lap and stop at the same point you started at. - What is the total distance you travel? - What is your final displacement? A world class sprinter ran 200 m in 21.75s. What was her average speed? (m/s)
A peregrine falcon drops from rest off the top of the StantecTower, which is 250.8 m tall. It accelerates in the downwarddirection due to gravity at a rate of 9.81 m/s2 (assume no airresistance).a) How long did it take the peregrine falcon to reach the ground? b) What is its velocity after 2.75 s?
On your wedding day you leave for the church 30.0 minutes before the ceremony is to begin, which should be plenty of time since the church is only 10.0 miles away. On the way, however, you have to make an unanticipated stop for construction work on the road. As a result, your average speed for the first 15 minutes is only 5.0 mi/h. What average speed do you need for the rest of the trip to get you to the church on time?
Now let’s apply our definition of average velocity to a swimming competition. During one heat of a swim meet, a swimmer performs the crawl stroke in a pool 50.0 mm long, as shown in (Figure 1). She swims a length at racing speed, taking 24.0 ss to cover the length of the pool. She then takes twice that time to swim casually back to her starting point. Find (a) her average velocity for each length and (b) her average velocity for the entire swim. c) If the swimmer could cross a 15 kmkm channel maintaining the same average velocity as for the first 50 mm in the pool, how long would it take?
The elevator starts on the first floor then accelerates 2.46 ft/ss for 5 sec and continues for 12 sec in constant velocity then stops in constant acceleration in 3 sec. The building has 20 floors and each floor is 12.3 ft away from the other. What floor did the elevator stop?
Glenda has a height of 1.83 meters measured from the ground surface. She then lifts a rock and throw it straight upward giving it an upward acceleration coming from rest of 35.0 m/s2 for 64 cm. the ball was released 2.20 m above the ground. How high above the ground does the rock go? Compute the time she must get out of its way before it returns exactly at her height.
