An alpha particle (the nucleus of a helium atom) travels along the inside of a
straight hollow tube 2.0m long which forms part of a particle accelerator.
O (a) If one assumes uniform acceleration, what is the acceleration of the
particle, if it enters at a speed of 1.0 x 104 m/s and leaves at 5.0 x 106 m/s?
O (b) How long is it in the tube?
Traffic shock wave. An abrupt slowdown in concentrated traffic can travel as a pulse, termed a shock wave, along the line of cars, either downstream (in the traffic direction) or upstream, or it can be stationary. The figure shows a uniformly spaced line of cars moving at speed v = 27.0 m/s toward a uniformly spaced line of slow cars moving at speed vs = 5.30 m/s. Assume that each faster car adds length L = 13.0 m (car length plus buffer zone) to the line of slow cars when it joins the line, and assume it slows abruptly at the last instant. (a) For what separation distance d between the faster cars does the shock wave remain stationary? If the separation is twice that amount, what are the (b) speed and (c) direction (upstream or downstream) of the shock wave?
A driver in Spain is on a street that has a posted speed limit of vm=75 km/hr and is traveling above the speed limit by vc=28 km/hr. A SUV pulls out of a garage into the street in front of the driver d=24 m in front if of the driver and stops there. The driver immediately brakes and begins decelerating at a rate of ab=4.9 m/s^2. How fast in meters per second is the driver traveling when he hits the SUV in front of him?

- External stimuli are communicated to the brain by means of electrical signals propagating along nerve cells at a speed of approximately 25 m/s. Similarly, electrical messages are sent at the same speed from the brain along nerve cells to the muscles.
