61. At the local grocery store, you push a 14.5-kg shopping cart.
You stop for a moment to add a bag of dog food to your cart.
With a force of 12.0 N, you now accelerate the cart from rest
through a distance of 2.29 m in 3.00 s. What was the mass of the
dog food?
a. You are a newly graduated astronaut preparing for your first trip into space. Plans call for your spacecraft to reach a velocity of 500. m/s after 2.40 minutes. If you weigh 735 N, what force will be exerted on your body? Assume the acceleration is constant.
b. A car is traveling at 25 m/s when the driver spots a large pothole in the road a distance of 30 m ahead. He immediately applies the brakes. If his acceleration is -27 m/s^2, does he manage to stop before reaching the pothole?
A stuntman drives a car of mass 1125 kg east with a speed of 20 m/s.
a. If the car accelerates at a rate of –2 m/s 2 , how long will it take the car to go 50 m?
b. The stuntman drives the car off an 80 m cliff while going 15 m/s. How long will it take the car to land?
c. How far horizontally from the cliff will the car land?
