- QUESTION 2 The NEXT morning, you wake up in a strange room yet again, and this time you drop a ball from a height of 1.42 m above the floor. The ball hits the floor 0.430 s after your drop it. You guess that you must have been taken to an alien planet with gravity different from Earth s. What is this planet s g (that is, the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity on this planet)? A 24.6 m/s^2 B 15.4 m/s^2 C 7.7 m/s^2 D 11.6 m/s^2arrow_forward1. A train leaves the station on a 50 km commute. The train must make a 60-second stopevery 1.0 km to pick up and drop off passengers. The train accelerates at 2.0 m/s2, then cruises at90 km/h, and then decelerates at 5.0 m/s2 between stops.(a.} How many stops does the train make?(b.} How long does it take for the train to get from one stop to the next?(c.} What is the total time for the entire commute?arrow_forward10. A person is driving along a straight highway at a speed of 22.0 m/s when the traffic light which is 41.0 m ahead turns yellow. Because of his "reaction time", there is a delay of 0.11 s before the man steps on the brake. The car then slows with a deceleration of 4.40 m/s2. By how much distance does the driver miss the traffic light line? 50 ssi sf60 sf60 60 ssf60%arrow_forward
- C. Solve the complete solution (given, unknown, formula, solution) for the following problemsarrow_forward2. You decide to enjoy the lovely Santa Barbara weather by taking a ride in your car along the coast. (a) Driving on 101, you pass by an accident. How far does your car travel forward during the 1 second that you take to look at the accident on the side of the road, if you're going with 100 km/h? (b) Then, you drive up a hill at a constant speed of 40 km/h and return down the hill at a speed of 60 km/h. What is the average speed for the round trip?arrow_forwardA treasure hunter follows a map moving 25 km [N], 37 km [W 37 degrees S], 63 km [E 65 degrees S] and finally 15 km [N 17 degrees E]. If his average for the entire trip was 45 km/hr, calculate: a. The total time for the trip; and b. The average velocity of the triparrow_forward
- You are driving your car along a country road at a speed of 23.6 m/s. As you come over the crest of a hill, you notice a farm tractor 25.0 m ahead of you on the road, moving in the same direction as you at a speed of 10.0 m/s. You immediately slam on your brakes and slow down with a constant acceleration of magnitude 7.20 m/s2. How far is the tractor in front of you when you finally stop?arrow_forwardGaby and her cousin, Fiona, live 45 km apart. Every day, they drive by one another to get to work. Gaby leaves home at 7:00 a.m. and drives at the road speed of 60 km/h. Fiona, however, always leaves home 20 min later and therefore speeds by 10 km/h. Approximately what time will Gaby meet Fiona on the road?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
- While driving at 45.0 mi/hr (20.1 m/s) on a straight portion of Route 9 West, Randi notices that the traffic light has turned red at the intersection directly ahead. Randi applies his brakes, slows his car down at a steady rate, and brings his car to rest, while traveling the 60.0 m distance to the stop line (at the red light). 21. While he is slowing down, the acceleration of Randi's car has a magnitude of A. 6.73 m, В. 16.9 m 2. 169 m/: А. С. 33,8 т D. 9.80 m E. 3.37 m / 22. How much time passes as Randi's car slows down from 45.0 mi/hr to 0 m/s? A. 20.68 s. B. 5.97 s. C. 2.66 s. D. 2.99 s. E. 0.596 s. 23. While Randi's car is slowing down, his car's acceleration is A. directed straight down towards the Earth's center. B. equal to zero. C. directed straight upwards. D. directed parallel to the car's velocity. E. directed antiparallel to the car's velocity.arrow_forwardAn object moves so that its position depends on time as x=+12m-(4m/s)t+(1m/s^2)t^2. Which statement is not true?arrow_forwardAn electron is moving in a straight line with a initial speed of3E5 m/s. It then undergoes an accelerates 8E14m/ s.
