- Two children are playing on a 151-m-tall bridge. One child drops a rock (initial velocity zero) at t = 0. The other waits 1.1 s and then throws a rock downward with an initial speed Vo. If the two rocks hit the ground at the same time, what is vo? m/sarrow_forwardA woman backs her van out of her parking space with a constant acceleration of 1.8 m/s2. Assume that her initial motion is in the positive direction. Part A: How long does it take her to reach a speed of 2.1 m/s in seconds? Part B: If she then brakes to a stop in 0.65 s, what is her acceleration in meters per square second?arrow_forwardThe velocity vs time graph for an object is shown. How far has it gone in 4.5 seconds starting at t = 0s? The figure shows the velocity versus time graph for an object. From t = -3 to 0s, the velocity is constant at 45 m/s. From t=0 to 4.5s, velocity decreases linearly from 45 m/s to 0 m/s. 101 m 225 m 150 m 112 marrow_forward

The graph in Fig. E2.9 shows this ball's velocity as a function of time. (a) What are the ball's average speed and average velocity during the first 3.0 s? (b) Suppose that the ball moved in such a way that the graph seg- ment after 2.0 s was –3.0 m/s instead of +3.0 m/s. Find the ball's average speed and average velocity in this case.arrow_forward

- The elevators in the Landmark Tower in Yokohama, Japan are among the fastest in the world. They accelerate upward at 3.125 m/s^2 for 4.0 seconds to reach their final speed. if these elevators start from rest, what is their final speedarrow_forwardTraumatic brain injury such as concussion results when the head undergoes a very large acceleration. Generally, an acceleration less than 800 m/s2 lasting for any length of time will not cause injury, whereas an acceleration greater than 1 000 m/s2 lasting for at least 1 ms will cause injury. Suppose a small child rolls off a bed that is 0.40 m above the floor. If the floor is hardwood, the child’s head is brought to rest in approximately 2.0 mm. If the floor is carpeted, this stopping distance is increased to about 1.0 cm. Calculate the magnitude and duration of the deceleration in both cases, to determine the risk of injury. Assume the child remains horizontal during the fall to the floor. Note that a more complicated fall could result in a head velocity greater or less than the speed you calculate.arrow_forwardsketch a position vs time graph and a velocity vs time graph and an acceleration vs time graph. At time t = 0 you are walking in the positive x direction with a constant speed of 1 m/s. You maintain that speed for 6 s. Then, you decrease your speed uniformly to 0 over a 2 s interval. You rest for 2 s, then turn around and increase your speed uniformly to 2 m/s in 2 s. You continue at that speed until you return to the starting place.arrow_forward
