A subway car leaves station A; it gains speed at the rate of 4ft /s2 for 6 s and then at the rate of 6ft /s2 until it has reached the speed of 48 ft/s. The car maintains the same speed until it approaches station B; brakes are then applied, giving the car a constant deceleration and bringing it to a stop in 6 s. The total running time from A to B is 40s. Determine the distance between stations A and B.arrow_forward4) You were leisurely flying your F-18 when you encounter an alien aircraft. The alien was flying at an altitude of 3 km while you were at an altitude of 600 m. You begin to increase your speed at a rate of 2.0 m/s?. You are traveling at a speed of 750 km/h at the instant when 0 = 45° and at the same instant the alien has a constant velocity of 1,500 km/h. a) Determine the velocity and acceleration vectors (in m/s and m/s², respectively) of the alien as observed by you. [Ans. to Check: VB/A = 208.4 įm/s] b) Determine the time rate of change of the vector r that is between you and the alien ship in m/s. In other words, find r. [Ans. to Check: i = 147.32 m/s] Hint: Do not forget about your ability to dot in different directions to eliminate variables from the equation. c) Calculate the angular velocity of the spaceship relative to you in rad/s. d) Determine the radial and angular accelerations in m/s? and rad/s².

Question #2 A race car, traveling at constant speed, makes one lap around a circular track of radius rin a time t. The circumference of a circle is given by C= 2nr. Which one of the following statements concerning this car is true? a) The displacement of the car does not change with time. b) The instantaneous velocity of the car is constant. c) The average speed of the car is the same over any time interval. d) The average velocity of the car is the same over any time interval. e) The average speed of the car over any time interval is equal to the magnitude of the average velocity over the same time interval. Question #3 A turtle and a rabbit are to have a race. The turtle's/ 10 average speed is 0.9 m/s. The rabbit's average speed is 9 m/s. The distance from the starting line to the finish line is 1500 m. The rabbit decides to let the turtle run before he starts running to give the turtle a head start. What, approximately, is the maximum time the rabbit can…arrow_forward
