Bones break roughly and an acceleration of 206 m/s^2. That is, if you fall and decelerate from your fall at rate greater than 206 m/s^2 your bones can break. If you're a motorcycle racer and get thrown vertically in the air 2.9 m, how thick (cm) should your protective padding be such that you are not likely to break any bones. Only consider the vertical motion, since most racers slide when they hit the ground. (cm)

At a basketball match, a player used his head to (unintentionally) deflect a ball straight up, and 0.5 seconds later, it came back down and struck the player on the head a second time. Give your answer to 2 significant figures. Use g = 10. m/s2 . (a) Find the initial vertical speed v0 of the ball in units of m/s. (b) Find the maximum height hmax that it reached assuming the head of the player is 2m above the ground.
An object moves in along the x-axis with an acceleration given by: a = 9t (m/s2). The position of the object at t=0.0 is 5 m, and its velocity at t=0.0 s is 7 m/s. Calculate the position at t=8 s.
A projectile is launched with an initial velocity of (3m/s)i+(2 m/s)j. Neglect air resistance.(a) What is its velocity at the top of its trajectory? (b) What is its acceleration at the top of its trajectory? Be certain that each of your answers is in the form of a vector.
A pilot is flying a plane at 220 m/s and an altitude of 500 meters. If she needs to deliver supplies via air drop, how far away from the target should she release the cargo? The cargo's parachute slows the average acceleration of gravity to 0.75 m/s2. Answer in kilometers.(In reality, a parachute significantly reduces the terminal velocity, so it won't accelerate very long. But let's keep it simple and assume the cargo accelerates the whole way.)

An object is initially 20 meters above the ground. It is thrown upward at a speed of 4.7 m/s at an angle of 60 degrees from the horizontal. What is the horizontal component of its velocity, in m/s, at impact (when it reaches the ground)?
A rocket starts from rest and moves upward from thesurface of the earth. For the first 10.0 s of its motion, the vertical accelerationof the rocket is given by ay = 12.80 m/s32t, where the+y-direction is upward. What is the height of the rocket above the surface of the earth at t = 10.0 s?
A ball is thrown from the ground with an initial velocity of 20 m/s at an angle of 30 degrees above the horizontal. Ignoring air resistance, calculate the maximum height reached by the ball and the horizontal distance it travels before hitting the ground. Assume the acceleration due to gravity, g, is 9.8 m/s² and take the direction of upward motion as positive.
Falcons are excellent fliers that can reach very high speeds by diving nearly straight down. To pull out of such a dive, a falcon extends its wings and flies through a circular arc that redirects its motion. The forces on the falcon that control its motion are its weight and an upward lift force—like an airplane—due to the air flowing over its wings. At the bottom of the arc, as shown, a falcon can easily achieve an acceleration of 15 m/s2. A falcon starts from rest, does a free-fall dive from a height of 30 m, and then pulls out by flying in a circular arc of radius 50 m. Which segment of the motion has a higher acceleration?A. The free-fall diveB. The circular arcC. The two accelerations are equal.
