- The speed of a nerve impulse in the human body is about 100 m/s. If you accidentally stub you toe in the dark, estimate the time it takes the nerve impulse to travel to your brain. (Assume that you are approximately 2.00 m tall and that the nerve impulse travels at uniform speed.)arrow_forwardAn object moving with uniform acceleration has a velocity of 14.5 cm/s in the positive x-direction when its x- coordinate is 3.02 cm. If its x-coordinate 2.70 s later is -5.00 cm, what is its acceleration?arrow_forwardThe velocity of a particle is given by v(t) =t² – 2t. The position of the particle at the time t = 0 is S(0) = 0. 1. Find a formula for the position S(t) at time t. 2. Find the displacement of the object on [0,3]. 3. Find the total distance traveled by the particle on [0,3].arrow_forward

It continues thereafter in a straight line but slows down at a rate proportional to the square root of its instantaneous velocity. If two minutes after the tow line breaks, the velocity is 9 m/s, how far does it move before coming to rest?arrow_forwardAssume you are driving a car at a constant speed of 76 km/h. Suddenly you see a deer standing on the highway and you must put on the brakes. Your reaction time (time elapsed between the moment you see the deer and your foot hitting the brakes) is 0.118 s. The brakes provide an acceleration with a magnitude of 4 m/s2, and a direction opposite the initial velocity. How do you find the total distance traveled?arrow_forward
- An object initially at rest experiences an acceleration of 1.80 m/s2 for 5.70 s then travels at that constant velocity foranother 9.80 s. What is the magnitude of the object's average velocity over the 15.5 s interval?arrow_forwardThe velocity of a particle traveling in a straight line is given by v = (6t – 3t²) m/s, where t is in seconds. If s = 0 when t = 0, determine the particle's deceleration and position when t = 5 s. How far has the particle traveled during the t = 5 s time interval, and what is its average speed?
