"A jet plane is cruising at 320 m/sm/s when suddenly the pilot turns the engines up to full throttle. After traveling 4.8 km , the jet is moving with a speed of 400 m/sm/s.
What is the jet's acceleration, assuming it to be a constant acceleration?
Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units."
I am having issues setting up word problems to begin solving. Need an easier method or technique to help deciper these.
I need help with Q4. I can't figure out what equation I should use to find the velocity. I think it would be a combination of the velocity formulas for x and y but I'm not sure. My 4 simplified equations are:
1. Vxf = Vxi
2. (delta)x = Vxi * (delta)t
3. Vyf = 9.8 m/s^2 * (delta)t
4. (delta)y = 1/2(9.8 m/s^2) * (delta)t^2
For my data I have:
(delta)y = 0.6604 meters
(delta) t = 0.367 seconds
I don't need the answer or a long explanation, I really just can't figure out what equation/formula I need to use to find "the velocity of your object as it rolls off the incline and enters free-fall."
A polar bear starts at the North Pole. It travels 1.0 km south, then 1.0 km east, and then returns to its starting point. This trip takes 0.75 hr. a) What was the bear's average speed? b) What was the bear's average velocity?

- Very large accelerations can injure the body, especially if they last for a considerable length of time. One model used to gauge the likelihood of injury is the severity index (??), defined as ??=?^5/2?. In the expression, ?t is the duration of the acceleration, but ?a is not equal to the acceleration. Rather, ?a is a dimensionless constant that equals the number of multiples of ?g that the acceleration is equal to. In one set of studies of rear-end collisions, a person's velocity increases by 17.5 km/h17.5 km/h with an acceleration of 30.5 m/s230.5 m/s2 . Let the +?+x direction point in the direction the car is traveling. What is the severity index for the collision?

It reaches a maximum height of 164,000 feet. This happened in Cape Canaveral therefore the rocket is under the acceleration of Earth's gavity in which we all know is -32 ft/sec/sec.

- You are on the planet Neptune and want to determine the acceleration due to gravity, g. You have a stopwatch and a toy gun that can launch a ping pong ball vertically upwards with an initial velocity of 7.5 m/s. Describe, in words, how you would perform an experiment to determine the acceleration due to gravity. Be sure to describe the variables you would measure, the equations you would use and the assumptions you would make. Make sure to include a diagram of the physical situation, label the unknown and known quantities with units, coordinate system in your answer.arrow_forwardA car drives around a circular track of diameter 161 m at a constant speed of 47.4 m/s. During the time it takes the car to travel 256 degrees around, what is the magnitude of the car s average acceleration? Hint: Do not calculate instantenous accelleration. Instead calculte the average acceleration over the fraction of a complete lap. Average acceleration equals change in velocity divided by change in time, and that this is a two-dimensional situation so you'll have to calculate the x and y components of the average acceleration first and then figure out the magnitude.
