A woodpecker’s brain is specially protected from large accelerations by tendon-like attachments inside the skull. While pecking on a tree, the woodpecker’s head comes to a stop from an initial velocity of 0.600 m/s in a distance of only 2.00 mm. (a) Find the acceleration in meters per second squared and in multiples of g, where g = 9.80 m/s2. (b) Calculate the stopping time. (c) The tendons cradling the brain stretch, making its stopping distance 4.50 mm (greater than the head and, hence, less acceleration of the brain). What is the brain’s acceleration, expressed in multiples of g?

An unidentified flying object (UFO) is observed to travel a total distance of 42000 m, starting and ending at rest, over a duration of 2.07 s. Assuming the UFO accelerated at a constant rate to the midpoint of its journey and then decelerated at a constant rate the rest of the way, what was the magnitude of its acceleration? Express your answer in g s , where 1 g = 9.81 m/s^2. 39,207 g s 19,604 g s 3,997 g s 1,998 g s

During each cycle, the velocity v (in meters per second) of a robotic welding device is given by v=3t - 7/4+t^2 , where t is time in seconds. Find the expression for the displacement s (in meters) as a function of t if s = 0 when t = 0
The (c) answer is incorrect, the height the flea gets should be 0.051 m, not 4.95 x 10 ^ -6. Because its initial velocity after accelerating is 1 m / s, and the flea travels approximately 0.051 m before its velocity decreases to 0. Adding 0.051 m to 0.0005 m should get 0.051 m after rounding. Please check and edit the answer again.
A man flies a small airplane from Fargo to Bismarck, North Dakota a distance of 180 miles. Because he is flying into --- a head wind, the trip takes him 2 hours. On the way back, the wind is still blowing at the same speed, so the return trip takes only 1 hour 12 minutes. What is his speed in still air, and how fast is the wind blowing? Your answer is his speed equals the wind speed equals
I am asked the question A bullet shot underwater will experience "viscous drag" and follow this velocity equation: vx(t)=vi*e^−bt where vi=391 m/s and b=0.63 s^−1. The bullet has an initial position xi=409.6 m at ti=0 s. I am supposed to find the position x(0.85s) the max distance traveled and the acceleration after 0.5 sec I know that I am supposed to derive and integrate the equation but am not sure how
