Chapter 11.3, Problem 11.83P
A training airplane has a velocity of 126 ft/s when it lands on an aircraft carrier. As the arresting gear of the carrier brings the airplane to rest, the velocity and the acceleration of the airplane are recorded; the results are shown (solid curve) in the figure. Determine by approximate means (a) the time required for the airplane to come to rest, (b) the distance traveled in that time.

A body moves along a linear path and its rate of change of velocity varies with time and is written as a=2-3t, where t is the time in second. After 5 second, from start of observation its velocity is determined to be 20 m/s. After 10 second from start of observation, the body is at 85 m far from the origin. Determine the following:a. Rate of change of velocity and velocity at the start of motion.b. Distance from the origin at the start of observationc. Time after start of observation in which the velocity becomes zero.
A frictionless toy car is placed on a ramp, which is inclined at an unknown angle (theta) with respect to the horizontal. Starting from rest, the car is allowed to roll freely down the ramp. After time (t), the car has traveled a distance (P) down the ramp and is moving with speed v(f).
Express the speed of the car at time (t) and the angle (theta) in terms of the given variables and g, the acceleration due to gravity. Your answers may or may not include all of the given variables.
A train travels between two stations 792 m apart in a minimum time of 41 seconds. If the train accelerates and decelerates at 2.4 m/s, starting from rest at the first station and coming to a stop at the second station, what is the maximum speed?
