Chapter P.1, Problem 5P
Animal Athletes
Different animals have very different capacities for running. A horse can maintain a top speed of 20 m/s for a long distance but has a maximum acceleration of only 6.0 m/s2, half what a good human sprinter can achieve with a block to push against. Greyhounds, dogs especially bred for feats of running, have a top speed of 17 m /s, but their acceleration is much greater than that of the horse. Greyhounds are particularly adept at turning corners at a run.
Figure 1.1
If a horse starts from rest and accelerates at the maximum value until leading its top speed, how much time elapses, to the nearest second?
A. 1 s
B. 2 s
C. 3 s
D. 4 s

A child is playing with a ball on a level surface. She gives the ball a push to get it rolling, then the ball rolls a short distance before coming to a stop. Which of the following explains why the ball slows to a stop?
a. the child stopped pushing it
b. the speed is proportional to the force
c. there must have been some force on the ball opposing the direction of motion
d. the net force on the ball was zero, so it wanted to remain stationary
The Cooper’s Hill Cheese-Rolling and Wake is an annual event held in England where a wheel of cheese is rolled down a hill while people chase after it competing on who can catch it first. If the hill has a height of 69.6 m and the cheese starts at rest, what is the cheese’s velocity at the bottom of the hill? Ignore friction.
