An ice skater with mass = mi goes skating while carrying a bag of sand with initial mass = m0 . At one point, she gives herself a constant initial velocity v0 , and then slowly pours the sand out of the bag at a constant rate κ. Is she speeding up or slowing down? Write out an expression for the velocity as a function of time. How long does it take for her velocity to change by a factor of 2? Your answer can include mi, m0, v0,

A a vs. t graph is drawn for a car moving in one direction. The graph shows a horizontal line at a = 5 m/s2 from t = 0 s to t = 5 s. What is the velocity of the ball at t= 5 s? Assume the car is initially at rest. (Answer is given as 25m/s, just need help knowing how to solve it.)
A box slides down a frictionless ramp and then crosses a 10 cm length of rough patch. The 1.75 kg box is released from rest at a height of 0.688 m. The Rough Patch has a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.640. What is the velocity of the box at the bottom of the ramp? V1 = ? What is the Friction Force when the box is crossing over the Rough Patch? fk = ? What is the acceleration of the box as it is crossing over the Rough Patch? a = ? What is the velocity of the box after it has finished crossing the Rough Patch? V2 = ? For what length of time was the box crossing over the Rough Patch? t = ?
I am doing a free-fall experiment for Physics and I need to make a velocity vs. time graph using the average value of the final velocity. Do you know how I would be able to find the values for the velocity vs. time graph? The average value of the final velocity is 6.21954 m/s. It is question #9.
A single-stage rocket is launched vertically from rest, and its thrust is programmed to give the rocket a constant upward acceleration of 5.8 m/s². If the fuel is exhausted 11 s after launch, calculate the maximum velocity Vmax and the subsequent maximum altitude h reached by the rocket. Answers: Vmax= h= i m/s E
In 1992, a 14-kg meteorite struck a car in Peekskill, NY, leaving a 20-cm-deep dent in the trunk. If the meteorite was moving at 500 m/s before striking the car, what was the magnitude of its acceleration while stopping? Find the time it takes for the meteorite to come to a complete stop.
A car is traveling on a straight-level road when the driver perceives a hazard ahead. After a reaction time of 0.50 seconds, she applies the brakes, locking the wheels. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the road is Hk = 0.60. The car is traveling at 60 kph. Determine the deceleration of the car. A 6.32 m/s^2 B 5.89 m/s^2 7.44 m/s^2 5.27 m/s^2
Legal Physics. In an auto accident, a car hit a pedestrian and the driver then slammed on the brakes to stop the car. During the subsequent trial, the driver's lawyer claimed that he was obeying the posted 35-mph speed limit, but that the legal speed was too high to allow him to see and react to the pedestrian in time. You have been called in as the state's expert witness. Your investigation of the accident found that the skid marks made while the brakes were applied were 280 ft long, and the tread on the tires produced a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.30 with the road. (a) In your testimony in court, will you say that the driver was obeying the posted speed? You must be able to back up your conclusion with clear reasoning because one of the lawyers will surely crossexamine you. (b) If the driver's speeding ticket were $10 for each mile per hour he was driving above the posted speed limit, would he have to pay a fine? If so, how much would it be?
A Bullet with a mass of 5.2 grams is fired out of a rifle. The bullet’s initial velocity is 0 m/sec. Its muzzle velocity is 850 m/sec (in the direction the barrel is pointing). The barrel is 60 cm long. Assume that the acceleration inside the barrel is the same for the entire length of the barrel. What is the acceleration in m/sec2 and what is the time it takes for the bullet to travel down the barrel? (You must solve two simultaneous equations. vf = vi + at ; s= vit + 1/2at2) Acceleration time

After a period of 25 seconds of constant thrust, the spaceship has reached a velocity of the 600 m/s. what is the acceleration? What is the altitude of the spaceship at 25 seconds?
Big Boris (90kg) skates backward, 1.0 meter ahead of small skater Sofia (45 kg) , holding her hand as they travel +3.0 /s . At the 30-second mark, Boris starts pulling Sofia past him, so that by time 32.0 s she is travelling 4.333 m/s along the ice. What was Sofia's average acceleration during this move, relative to the ice? +0.667 /s² +2.167 ™/? +0.135 /s +1.333 m/2 +1.00 /s² +2.0 m/g2
A bird rests on a branch in an aok tree, 12 m above the grassland, as it watches it's young birds. The bird suddenly needs to pass some solid waste .How fast is the solid waste traveling as it hits the grassland? A cat staring at the bird immediately notices something strange being released by the bird. How long does the cat have to react and get out of the way?
An aging coyote (m = 42.1 kg) cannot run fast enough to catch a roadrunner (m = 16.3 kg). He purchases a set of jet-powered roller skates, which proved a constant horizontal acceleration of 15.2 m/s2. The coyote starts at rest 73.2 m from the edge of a cliff at the instant the roadrunner zips past in the direction of the cliff. Hint: their initial positions at the top of the cliff are the same. a. Determine the minimum constant speed the roadrunner must have to reach the cliff before the coyote. b. At the edge of the cliff, the roadrunner escapes by making a sudden turn, while the coyote continues straight ahead. The coyote’s skates remain horizontal and continue to operate while he is in flight, so his acceleration while he is in the air is (15.2i – 9.80j) m/s2. The cliff is 127 m above the flat floor of the desert. Determine how far from the base of the vertical cliff the coyote lands. c. Determine the components of the coyote’s impulse upon impact.
