Researchers doing satellite tracking of albatrosses in the Southern Ocean observe a bird maintaining sustained flight speeds of 35 m/s- nearly 80 mph!! This seems surprisingly fast until you realize that the particular bird was flying with the wind, which was moving 23 m/s. What is the bird’s airspeed- its speed relative to the air?

In a classic clip on Americas Funniest Home Videos, a sleeping cat rolls gently off the top of a warm TV set. Ignoring air resistance, calculate the position and velocity of the cat after (a) 0.100 s, (b) 0.200 s, and (c) 0.300 s.
In World War II, there were several reported cases of airmen who jumped from their flaming airplanes with no parachute to escape certain death. Some fell about 20,000 feet (6000 m), and some of them survived, with few life- threatening injuries. For these lucky pilots, the tree branches and snow drifts on the ground allowed their deceleration to be relatively small. If we assume that a pilot's speed upon impact was 123 mph (54 m/s), then what was his deceleration? Assume that the trees and snow stopped him over a distance of 3.0 m.
In 1948 United States Air Force pilot Gail halvorsen became known as the Berlin Candy Bomber when he began dropping candy bars and Bubblegum to the children of Berlin. If he was flying with a forward velocity of 100 meters per second at a low altitude of 1000 m how far from the Berlin Wall would he have to release the candy so that it would land in the city?
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.) Note do not provide hand written solution
A jet plane has a takeoff speed of Vto = 68 m/s and can move along the runway at an average acceleration of 1.9 m/s². If the length of the runway is 2.2 km, will the plane be able to use this runway safely? O Yes O No Defend your answer.
A test rocket is fired vertically upward from a well. A catapult gives it initial speed 60 m/s at ground level. Its engines then fire and it accelerates upward at 5.0 m/s² until it reaches an altitude of 1,100 m. At that point its engines fail and the rocket goes into free-fall, with an acceleration of g=9.80 m/s². What is its velocity just before it collides with the Earth? (You will need to consider the motion while the engine is operating separately from the free-fall motion.) [Give your answer in m/s to the nearest 0.1 m/s]
Could someone please explain? Thank you.
In an experiment, a shearwater (a seabird) was taken from its nest, flown a distance 5040 km away, and released. It found its way back to its nest a time 12.4 days after release. If we place the origin in the nest and extend the +x-axis to the release point, what was the bird's average velocity for the return flight?
Superman needs to save Lois from the clutches of Lex Luthor. After flying for 12 seconds, he is 1900 meters from her. Then at 18 seconds he is 1600 meters from her. What is Superman's average speed? meters per second m/s How far from Lois did Superman start? meters Write an equation to model this situation (used for distance from Lois in meters and s for seconds).
Superman starting from rest has an acceleration of 10m/s2 up. He makes it 127m into theair before he’s exposed to kryptonite and is only under the influence of gravity.(a) How long after take off is Superman exposed to kryptonite?(b) What is Superman’s velocity when he is exposed to the kryptonite?(c) What is the maximum height Superman reaches?(d) What is the total amount of time Superman is in the air?
A child in Yellowstone National Park kicked a rock off a bridge down into a river below. The bridge had a height of 405 meters above the river. If the child kicked the rock with an initial velocity of 2.1 m/s, What was the amount of time required for the rock to hit the river below? How far horizontally from the bridge did the rock travel?
All I need is the letter of correct answer. An airplane must have a velocity of 50 m/s in order to take off. What must the acceleration of the airplane be if it is to take off from a runway 500 m long? A) 2.5 m/s˄2 B) 3.2 m/s˄2 C) 5.0 m/s˄2 D) 10 m/s˄2 15A car with its brakes applied has an acceleration of -1.2 m/s˄2. If its initial velocity is 10 m/s, the distance the car covers in the first 5 second after the acceleration begins is A) 15 m; B) 32 m; C) 35 m; D)47 m.
