Suppose you drop a rock into a dark well and, using precision equipment, you measure the time for the sound of a splash to return. (a) Neglecting the time required for sound to travel up the well, calculate the distance to the water if the sound returns in 2.0000 s. (b) Now calculate the distance taking into account the time for sound to travel up the well. The speed of sound is 332.00 m/s in this well.

You are driving along at a constatnt speed of 26 m/s and you look down at your phone to read a text message for 2.5 seconds. How many meters does the car travel while you are not looking?
Traffic shock wave. An abrupt slowdown in concentratedtraffic can travel as a pulse, termed a shock wave, along theline of cars, either downstream (in the traffic direction) or upstream,or it can be stationary shows a uniformlyspaced line of cars moving at speed v = 25.0 m/s toward a uniformlyspaced line of slow cars moving at speed vs = 5.00 m/s.Assume that each faster car adds length L = 12.0 m (car lengthplus buffer zone) to the line of slow cars when it joins the line, and assumeit slows abruptly at the last instant. (a) For what separation distanced between the faster cars does the shock wave remainstationary? If the separation is twice that amount, what are the (b)speed and (c) direction (upstream or downstream) of the shock wave?

At 12 am, train A sets off due west at a fixed speed of s mph. Train B sets off due east from the same station 2 hours later traveling 10 mph faster than train A. The trains are 300 miles apart at 7 am, what is the speed of train A?
a prisoner, 1.80 meters in height was discharged in consideration due to his advanced in age. in order to receive full pardon he must run as fast as he can towards the country boarder 100meters from the prisoners position to be totally free. unknown to the prisoner he was not meant to be discharged alive due to the heinous crimes he has committed. an archer with an exceptional accuracy hidden from the prisoner was 15meters behind him. as soon as the prisoner started running at a rate of a=0.012t an arrow was released 30seconds after the prisoner moved from rest, from a 2 meter high at an angle of 30degrees above horizontal aiming at the middle of his body for a sure kill (neglecting air resistance).What should be the initial velocity of the arrow if the prisoner was dead before reaching the country boarder? What was the distance from the country boarder to the Dead prisoner?
The speed of propagation of the action potential (anelectrical signal) in a nerve cell depends (inversely) on thediameter of the axon (nerve fiber). If the nerve cell connectingthe spinal cord to your feet is 1.1 m long, and the nerveimpulse speed is 18 m/s, how long does it take for the nervesignal to travel this distance?
