Hi I am in physics 1 and am trying to understand this problem. The problem saids a flea jumps vertically up at a speed of 2.1m/s. How high does it reach before it starts to fall back down? I found the seconds it takes to of how long it takes which was 0.21s. But I'm not sure of the distance. Please break this down and explain in detail. Thank you!

In Bosnia, the ultimate test of a young nuns courage used to be to jump off a 400-year-old bridge (destroyed in 1993; rebuilt in 2004) into the River Neretva, 23 m below the bridge. (a) How long did the jump last? (b) How fan was the jumper traveling upon impact with the river? (c) If the speed of sound in air is 340 m/s, how long after the jumper took off did a spectator on the bridge hear the splash?
Hi I am in phyiscs I and it has the problem a runner ran the marathon (approx. 26.1) in 2 hours and 57 min. What was the average speed of the runner in m/s? I understand that I would have to divide the total distance by the total time, but I'm not sure how they changed the miles to meters. Please break it down so I can understand. I tried to solve it how you guys did it but I keep getting another answer. Thank you!
George walks to a friend’s house. He walks 750 meters North, then realizes he walked too far. He turns around and walks 250 meters South. The entire walk takes him 13 seconds. What is his velocity in meters per second? Also, is the acceleration due to gravity negative or positive or it depends? I'm really confused. Please help and explain in an easy to understand.

Directions: Answer the given problem-solving using the step by step procedure. B. A car starts from rest and attains a speed of 50m/s in 15 seconds. How far has the car traveled in 15 seconds? 1. Draw a simple sketch. 2. Identify the known values or given. 3. Identify what is being asked or the unknown value. 4. Determine what equation to be used. 5. Substitute the known values to your equation. What will be your final answer?
Elsa?! Bida-bida. In Arendelle, Queen Elsa loves to show magic tricks to the kids and so, sje begins her show by standing on top of Olaf, a snowman that quickly melts the moment she jumps away from it. Olaf stands 1.63 [m] tall. If Elsa jumps directly upward from Olaf's head and takes 1.94 [s] to rwach a maximum height of 5.37 [m] from where Olaf's head was, how long will it take her to reach the ground from the moment she jumps off Olaf's head? O 2.40 [s] O 3.14 [s] O 1.20 [s] O 0.74 [s]
A stone is thrown straight up from the edge of a reof, 675 feet above the ground, at a speed of 18 feet SEOne per second. A. Remembering that the acceleration due to gravity is -32 feet pET second squared, how high is the stone 2 seconds later? Don't forget to enter the correct units. B.At what time does the stone hit the ground C. What is the velocity of the stone when it hits the ground?
©20. A railroad freight yard switch engine on a straight track trav- els 1000. m to the end of the track, then back 600. m, then forward 300. m. a. What is the switch engine's final displacement from its starting position? b. How far did it travel?
Kenny is climbing the stairs of his apartment building for exercise. Kenny weighs 83 kg and the height of a single step on the staircase is 11 inches. He climbs a flight of stairs in 4.0 seconds. a.) calculate the rate at which the stairs can be climbed considering the given information (stairs per second). b.) How long can kenny sustain this pace (so like, continuously climbing the stairs and not leaping up a bunch of stairs at one instant)? c.) Why does Kenny descend stairs at a faster rate for a nearly unlimited time although very similar forces are exerted descending as they are ascending?(This points to a fundamentally different process for descending versus climbing stairs.)
An airplane decelerates at a uniform rate of 8.0 m/s2 (a = -8.0 m/s2), until it stops after traveling 483 m. Determine: a. how fast was the plane traveling before it began to decelerate? b. Express your answer in scientific notation and in at least 3 significant figures.
