(Assume that you are approximately 1.70 m tall and that the nerve impulse travels at uniform speed.)arrow_forwardNASA has fired a rocket straight up into the air from ground level with an unknown initial velocity. It reaches a maximum height of 164,000 feet. This happened in Cape Canaveral therefore the rocket is under the acceleration of Earth's gavity in which we all know is -32 ft/sec/sec.

- Q1) The position of a particle traveling along a straight line is s(t) = (t²-3t²+C) ft, where tis in seconds and C is a constant. If s = 4 ft when t= 0, determine the velocity of the particle when t =4 s. What is the total distance traveled during the time interval t = 0 to t = 4 s? Also, what is the acceleration when t = 2 s?arrow_forwardA special racing car starts from rest and accelerates in a straight line with a constant acceleration of 5.8 m/s². After 376 metres, it deploys a parachute which results in a deceleration of kv? where v is the speed of the car in m/s and k is a constant (has a unit of 1/m). If the car's speed slowed down to 37 km/hr 7.5 seconds after the parachute was deployed, determine the constant k and then give your answer to Z = 1000*|k| rounded to two decimal places. Note that |k| means the absolute value of k.arrow_forward
