1) Most of us rode bikes a kid. Did you ever accidentally apply the front brake while riding down a hill and flip over your handlebars? Let's analyze the level of deceleration needed to cause this to happen (at this instant the normal force of the rear tire is zero). Assume the rider is moving down a hill at a constant velocity and att = 0, the rider squeezes the brakes and begins to decelerate. This action results in a force that points in the bi direction and passes through the contact points between the tires and the pavement. Be sure to include your FBD, IRD, and transformation array. b2 30 in. FB 13 in. 23 in.

Hi there. From the attached question, I am wanting to solve for the following:  1. the j component of the initial velocity 2. the force in the i direction at t=3.8s 3. the i component of velocity at t=3.8s Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.

Object #1 of mass 1.41 interacts with object #2 of mass 7.27. These objects interact only with each other and not with any other objects. At time t=9.45 the magnitude of the acceleration of object #1 is 8.30. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of object #2 at time t=9.45? All quantities are given in SI units and the answer should be given as a positive or negative number in Sl units. Only type a number into the answer box, do not type in units.

A basketball player attempts a three-point shot 10.0 m from the basket as shown in the figure below. The player shoots the ball at an angle of 0 = 38.8° from horizontal, and releases the ball at a height of h = 1.92 m. The rim of the basket is at a height of H- 3.05 m. 10.0 m (a) What is the acceleration (in m/s') of the basketball at the highest point in its trajectory? magnitude m/s direction ---Select- (b) At what spoed (in m/s) must the player throw the baskctball so that thc ball gocs through the hoop without striking the backboard? m/s Need Help?

The elevator in an office building, starting from rest at the first floor, is accelerated 0.75 m/sec2 for 5 secs. It continues at constant velocity for 12 secs, more and is then stopped in 3 secs with constant deceleration. If the floors are 3.75 m apart, at what floor did the elevator stop?

A small rocket is launched vertically from rest and it accelerates uniformly at 26 m/s² for a period of 13 s, at which point all of its fuel is used. The rocket then continues to travel freely in the vertical direction until it eventually reaches its maximum altitude, after which it falls to earth. Working to 4 significant figures, calculate for the rocket: (a) Its velocity at the instant when all of its fuel is used. m/s (b) Its altitude at the instant when all of its fuel is used. m (c) (i) The time taken for the rocket to slow from the point it runs out of fuel until it reaches maximum altitude. S (ii) The total time taken to reach its maximum altitude S (d) The maximum altitude reached m (e) Its velocity at the instant just prior to impact with the ground. m/s
