- You throw an object up with an initial velocity of voy=13 m/s from a height of y=25 m. Part a) How long, in seconds, does it take for the object to reach the ground? Part b) What is the object's final velocity, in meters per second, as it impacts the ground?

Some fell about 20,000 feet (6000 m), and some of them survived, with few life-threatening injuries. For these lucky pilots, the tree branches and snow drifts on the ground allowed their deceleration to be relatively small. Assume a pilot’s speed upon impact was 54 m/s and the trees and snow stopped him over a distance of 7.6 m. Use a coordinate system where down is positive and, assuming constant acceleration, find the pilot’s acceleration after impact, in meters per second squared.arrow_forwardQ1.An electron, in a picture tube of a TV set, travelling in a straight line, accelerates uniformly from speed 4.3x10^4 to 9.0x10^6 m/s along a lenght of 2.3 cm.
