A typical sneeze expels material at a maximum speed of 44.9 m/s. Suppose the material begins inside the nose at rest, 2.00 cm from the nostrils. It has a constant acceleration for the first 0.250 cm and then moves at constant velocity for the remainder of the distance.
How long does it take to move the 2.00-cm distance in the nose?
A car starts from rest at t = 0 s, and speeds up with a constant acceleration of 1.81 m/s2 for 6.00 s. Then it continues with a uniform speed for another 6.00 s. Finally, it speeds up with a constant acceleration of 2.02 m/s2 until it reaches a speed of 18.0 m/s.
(a) How long does it take for the car to reach a speed of 18.0 m/s? Time is measured from the beginning at t = 0 (b) What is the total displacement of the car?
A volleyball starts from rest and accelerates with an acceleration of 0.405 m/s2 while moving down a 8.75 m long inclined plane. When it reaches the bottom, the ball rolls up another plane, where, after moving 15.00 m, it comes to rest.
