We investigated a jet landing on an aircraft carrier. In a later maneuver, the jet comes in for a landing on solid ground with a speed of 95 m/s, and its acceleration can have
a maximum magnitude of 7.97 m/s² as it comes to rest.
(a) From the instant the jet touches the runway, what is the minimum time interval needed before it can come to rest?
(b) Can this jet land on a small tropical island airport where the runway is 0.800 km long?
Yes
No
(c) Explain your answer.
The infamous chicken is dashing toward home plate with a speed of 5.7 m/s when he decides to hit the dirt. The chicken slides for 1.2 s, just reaching the plate as he stops (safe, of course). (a) What are the magnitude and direction of the chicken’s acceleration? (b) How far did the chicken slide?

- As the first human astronaut to land on a distant planet, you are standing on the edge of a small cliff. You toss a small experiment apparatus straight up in the air and it reaches a maximum height of 3.0 m above the cliff. The apparatus then falls to the bottom of the cliff, landing a distance 10 m below its initial position. Given that the acceleration due to gravity on the exoplanet is a = -5.6j m/s?, how long did it take for the apparatus to get from the top of its trajectory to the bottom of the cliff?
