7. Sally is driving at a constant speed of 25 m/s on a straight horizontal road. She sees an obstacle on the road ahead and applies the brakes! The wheels lock causing the car to slide forward. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the road is 0.40, how long does it take the car to come to a complete stop?
. In the movie The Rocketeer, a teenager discovers a jet-powered backpack in an old barn. The backpack allows him to fly at incrediblespeeds. In one scene, however, he uses the backpack to rapidly accelerate an old pickup truck that is being chased by “bad guys.” Hedoes this by bracing his arms against the cab of the pickup and firing the backpack, giving the truck the acceleration of a drag racer. Isthe physics of this scene “Good,” “Bad,” or “Ugly”? Explain.
1. A pitcher throws a baseball with mass 0.2 kg straight upward with an initial speed of 20.0 m/s. Calculate the speed (in m/s) of the baseball at a height of 15.0 m above the pitcher’s hand.
To promote their new album, Black Pink decided to launch a satellite into orbit that will intercept all airwaves and play their songs worldwide. To do this, he needs to mount a 200 [kg] satellite onto a 850 [kg] rocket. It blasts off vertically from a launch pad with a constant net upward acceleration of 3.80 [m/s2 ]. When it has reached a height of 680 [m], the satellite was released, and the rocket blew up shortly after, due to a system failure. Assume that the satellite was not damaged after the explosion. (a) What is the maximum height that the satellite will reach above the launch pad? (b) How much time will elapse after system failure before the satellite comes crashing down the launch pad? (c) How fast will the satellite be moving just before it crashes?
Your friend Travis claims to have set the new world speed record for riding a unicycle. His top speed, he says, was 55 m/s. Do you believe him? Explain.
46. A basketball player jumps straight up for a ball. To do this, he lowers his body 0.300 m and then accelerates through this distance by forcefully straightening his legs. This player leaves the floor with a vertical velocity sufficient to carry him 0.900 m above the floor. (a) Calculate his velocity when he leaves the floor. (b) Calculate his acceleration while he is straightening his legs. He goes from zero to the velocity found in part (a) in a distance of 0.300 m. (c) Calculate the force he exerts on the floor to do this, given that his mass is 110 kg.
Nakyum and Alex are on a trip to Bohol Philippines. Suddenly the car runs out of fuel then stops (Picture A). Alex volunteers to push the car to the side of the road. He pushes it hard, but he can't move the car. A bystander helps him then the car accelerates (Picture B). Questions are on the photo attached:

A basketball player of mass m=88.4 kg jumps straight up for a ball. To do this, he lowers his body d1=0.44 m, then he accelerates through this distance by forcefully straightening his legs. This player leaves the floor with a speed sufficient to carry him d2=0.56 m above the floor. Write an expression for the speed v with which the basketball player leaves the floor. Write an expression for the speed v with wiich the basketball player leaves the floor. Write an expression for the acceleration, a, of the basketball player during the leg-straightening. Write an expression for the force upward force, FN, exerted on the basketball player by the floor during the leg straightening. What is the magnitude, in newtons, of the force FN while the player is straightening his legs?

a) What effect does horizontal velocity have on time of flight for a particle undergoing projectile motion over level ground with no drag? Explain. b) Two cars that are otherwise identical except that one has twice the mass of the other drive side by side and begin to brake at the same instant. Both cars come to rest having stopped with the friction force alone. Which car requires a greater distance to stop? Explain.
