- 9) Generic Villain, in an airplane, is chasing Generic Hero who is driving a car. The speed of the airplane is 147 m/s and the speed of the car is 51.0 m/s. If the Villain, at an altitude of 1.00E2 m, wants to drop a bomb on the Hero (and assuming the airplane is in level flight) how far should they be away from the car when they do so? (If you care, the hero gets away with some generic special effects and, you know, turning...) (434 m)arrow_forward14. The speed of a nerve impulse in the human body is about 100 m/s. If you accidentally stub you toe in the dark, estimate the time it takes the nerve impulse to travel to your brain. (Assume that you are approximately 1.70 m tall and that the nerve impulse travels at uniform speed.)arrow_forwardA distance of 60 meters separates two jetskis at Virginia Beach. Starting at rest, the jetskis accelerate at a constant rate of 0.2 m/s2 towards each other.Starting at a midpoint between the two jetskis, a porpoise is seen swimming from one jetski to the other at a constant speed of 16 m/s. The porpoise continues swimming back and forth between the jetskis until they crash together.a) What is the total distance the porpoise travelled? b) what is the speed of the jetskis when they crash together?arrow_forward
