The hare awakes to find that the slow tortoise (Vtortoise 0.13451 feet/second) is only d = 4.4882 inches away from the finish line! The tortoise is already at his maximum speed and will finish the race at constant velocity. The hare on the other hand starts from rest and using constant acceleration motion manages to end the race in a tie, despite the fact that he has to cover a distance of D= 40.50 meters!

1. During Men’s Basketball conditioning, the team must run 200m in 32 seconds to make the coach happy. What average velocity must they have? If the center of the basketball team does the first 100 m in 20s, what must his average velocity be for the last 100m in order to make the 32s?(show work)
Does acceleration depend on the speed of an object? Why or why not? Give an example of a slow object having a larger acceleration than a fast object. Can anyone think of an example of an object moving in such a way so that it is accelerating while having zero velocity?
Assume that an MX missile goes from rest to a suborbital velocity of 9.50 km/s in 50.0 s (the actual speed and time are classified). What is its average acceleration in m/s2? What is its average acceleration in multiples of g?
Can an objects acceleration be in the opposite direction to its motion? Explain.
True or false? An object with a large acceleration must have a large velocity. Acceleration describes what, with respect to velocity? Acceleration describes how fast or slow the velocity is changing. Is that related to the value of the velocity? Does it matter how big/small the velocity is? So is the statement true? Alternatively, for a true/false problem see if you can think of a counter-example.

Osama was testing his new car by racing with his fiend Adam, Osama was driving at 54.0 mile/hr, enters a one-way narrow subway. Osama then observed a Truck 100 m ahead traveling at a low constant speed 3.00 m/s. Osama used his brakes but can accelerate only at -2.00 m/s2 because the road was wet. Will there be an accident? Explain. If yes,4 Page 5 of 8at what time the accident occurs and how far into the subway. If no, determine the distance of closest approach between Osama’s car and the Truck. (1mile=1609m).
A student is running to catch the campus shuttle bus, which is at a stopped at the bus stop. Thestudent is running at a constant speed of 6.00 m/s; she can’t run any faster. When the student isstill 60.0 m from the bus, it starts to pull away. The bus moves with a constant acceleration of0.180m/s 2 . d) What is the minimum speed the student must have to catch up with the bus? For what timeand distance does she have to run in this case?
A derrick boat approaches a two mile marker 100m ahead at a velocity of 28.5 m/s . The pilot reduces the throttle, slowing the boat with a constant acceleration of -3.40 m/s^2. How long i seconds does it take the boat to reach the marker? What is the velocity in m/s of the boat when it reaches the marker? Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.
When last we left our friend Wile E. Coyote (SuperGenius), was peeling himself off a canyon wall and none the worse for wear. This time, he has obtained an Acme^ TM rocket-powered dragster with the AcmeTM Premium Parachute Braking System (patent pending)Starting from restthe dragster accelerates at a constant rate of 36.4 m/s ^ 2 for 14 seconds. At this point, the coyote realizes that he has passed the Road Runner and so he instantly cuts off the engine and deploys his braking system - which doesn't work. He therefore travels an additional distance of 1800 m at constant velocity until again becoming one with a canyon wall. Determine: (a) The total time for Wile E. Coyote's motion described above; on (b) The total distance covered by Wile E. Coyote's motion described above ; (c) The average velocity for Wile E. Coyote's motion described above.
An object moving with a negative velocity and a positive acceleration would be what? speeding up in a negative direction or slowing down in a negative direction or speeding up in a positive direction or slowing down in a positive direction and why? Thank you.
