Chapter 2, Problem 31P
ǀ BIO If a pilot accelerates at more than 4g, he begins to “gray out,” but not completely lose consciousness. (a) What is the shortest time that a jet pilot starting from rest can take to reach Mach 4 (four times the speed of sound) without graying out? (b) How far would the plane travel during this period of acceleration? (Use 331 m/s for the speed of sound.)

A high-performance sports car can go from 0 to 100 mph (44.7 m/s) in 7.9s.
a) What is the car's average acceleration?
b) The same car can come to a complete stop from 30 m/s in about 3.2 s. What is its average acceleration?
here is my problem, I need help:
One simple model for a person running the 100 mm dash is to assume the sprinter runs with constant acceleration until reaching top speed, then maintains that speed through the finish line.
If a sprinter reaches his top speed of 11.1 m/sm/s in 2.64 ss , what will be his total time?
Express your answer in seconds.
When jumping, a flea rapidly extends its legs, reaching a takeoff speed of 1.0 m/sm/s over a distance of 0.50 mmmm .
a) What is the flea's acceleration as it extends its legs?
b) How long does it take the flea to leave the ground after it begins pushing off?
