- Physics You are on a mysterious planet with a gravitational acceleration of 2.0 m/s2. If you throw a ball straight upward with a speed of 10 m/s, how long will it take for the ball to return to where it was thrown?arrow_forwardI am currently learning about kinematics in my physics class. For one of the questions, it asks me to solve a question that asks me to find the magnitude of acceleration. I have found answers ranging between 3 and 4, but everytime I put my answer into Webassign it is wrong. I was wondering how I would find the magnitude of acceleration given the time and distance. Thank youarrow_forwardYou and a friend ride your bikes to a restaurant across town. Both of you start at the same instant from your house, you riding 10 m/s and your friend riding 12 m/s. During the trip your friend has a flat tire and that takes him 8 minutes to fix. He then continues the trip at the same speed of 12 m/s. If the distance to the restaurant is 10 km, who gets there first?arrow_forward

Unfortunately, you are late getting to the train station. You are running as fast as you can, but 30 meters ahead of you the train begins to pull out. You can run at a maximum speed of 8 m/s and the train is accelerating at 1 m/s². In 50 meters you will reach a barrier. Can you catch up to the departing train? Argue why you should or should not jump onto the moving train?arrow_forward
