- While moving from her third-storey apartment, a university student decides to lower her couch through her window using ropes. During the process, the ropes snap and the couch, which is 12.0 m above the ground, falls to the ground below. Her friends, who are both 1.50 m tall, notice the accident when the couch is directly above them. Determine the time they have to get out of the way.arrow_forwardYou are driving down the highway late one night at 20 m/s when a deer steps onto the road 40 m in front of you. Your reaction time before stepping on the brakes is 0.50 s, and the maximum deceleration of your car is 12 m/s2. How much distance is between you and the deer when you come to a stop? distance: m What is the maximum speed you could have and still not hit the deer? maximum speed:arrow_forwardTwo cars are driving, car 1 has initial position -3500m, initial velocity -55m/s and acceleration +1.25m/s2, car 2 has initial position +4100m, initial velocity -35 m/s and acceleration +0.75m/s2; a) How much time until they collide? b) What is the x location where they collide, and the final velocity of each car?arrow_forward
- Two cars are heading towards one another. Car A is moving with an acceleration of aA = 7 m/s2. Car B is moving with an acceleration of aB = -4 m/s2. The cars are initially at rest and separated by a distance d = 2300 m on the x-axis. At what time, in seconds, do the cars meet? What is the displacement, in meters, of Car A? What is the displacement, in meters, of Car B? Now assume that both cars start with an initial velocity. Car A's initial velocity is v0A = 23 m/s and Car B's initial velocity is vB = -17 m/s. At what time, t2 in seconds, do they meet?arrow_forwardAn electron is moving in a straight line with a initial speed of3E5 m/s. It then undergoes an accelerates 8E14m/ s. How long will it take to reach a speed of 5.4E 5m/s?arrow_forward4. You wake up in a strange room, with opaque walls, and no visible doors or windows. you drop a ball from a height of 1.12 m and it hits the floor 0.191 s after you drop it. This time you suspect you are on a rocket that has just left the surface of the Earth, and is still not too far above the ground. What do you deduce the rocket s acceleration to be? 71.2 m/s^2 61.4 m/s^2 98.0 m/s^2 51.6 m/s^2arrow_forward
- You are driving down the highway late one night at 20 m/s when a deer steps onto the road 35 m in front of you. Your reaction time before stepping on the brakes is 0.50 s, and the maximum deceleration of your car is 10 m/s?. How much distance is between you and the deer when you come to a stop?arrow_forwardA police car gets passed by a car traveling at a constant speed of 150.0 km/hr. The police car accelerates from rest at 5.00 m/s2, the moment the two cars are side by side. How long does it take the police officer to catch the car?arrow_forwardA billiard ball was set in motion on a counter by your mischievous little cousin who wanted the ball to hit your foot. To avoid your attention he set the ball in motion with a slow speed of 1.0 m/s (how did he know this unit?!) from a counter that is 1.1 m tall. Fortunately he missed. How long did it take to hit the floor?arrow_forward
