A man flies a small airplane from Fargo to Bismarck, North
Dakota
a distance of 180 miles. Because he is flying into
---
a head wind, the trip takes him 2 hours. On the way back,
the wind is still blowing at the same speed, so the return
trip takes only 1 hour 12 minutes. What is his speed in still
air, and how fast is the wind blowing?
Your answer is
his speed equals
the wind speed equals
A rocket sled having an initial speed of 150 mi/hr is slowed by a channel of water. Assume that during the
braking process, the acceleration a is given by a(v)=-mu v², where v is the velocity and mu is a constant.
If it requires a distance of 2000 ft to slow the sled to 15 mi/hr, determine the value of mu?
A student who aspires to ace his quiz in Phys134 went to a wishing well. He dropped his first 10-peso coin and made a quick wish. Two seconds after he dropped his first coin, he threw another 10-peso coin vertically downward with a speed of 30m/s. How long will it take the second coin to overtake the first?

The elevator can have an acceleration of 7.2 in/s^2 and a deceleration of 3.6 in /s^2 and can reach a maximum speed of 96 in/s^2. Determine the shortest time to take from rest and ending at rest if the elevator is 12 feet/ floor and the person set to reach the 4th floor in secondsarrow_forwardSuppose a skydiver jumps out of a plane 15,000 meters above the ground. It takes him 2.0 seconds to pull the cord to deploy the parachute and another 2.0 seconds for the parachute to be fully deployed. Additionally, in order to land safely on the ground, his parachute must be fully deployed 10.0 seconds before he hits the ground. With this information and assuming there is no additional air resistance or changes in atmospheric density, what is the maximum time into his fall that he can wait to pull the cord in order to make it safely to the ground?arrow_forward
