A tortoise and a hare are in a road race to defend the honor of their breed. The tortoise crawls the entire 1000 meters at a speed of 0.2 m/s. The rabbit runs the first 200 meters at 2 m/s, stops to take a nap for 1.3 hours, and awakens to finish the last 800 meters with an average speed of 3 m/s. Who wins the race and by how much time?
A car is traveling on a straight, level road under wintry conditions. Seeing a patch of ice ahead of her, the driver of the car slams on her brakes and skids on dry pavement for 70 m, decelerating at 6.0 m/s2. Then she hits the icy patch and skids again. The car takes a duration of 85.0 s to come to rest during the second skid. If her initial speed was 50 m/s, what was the magnitude of the deceleration on the ice during the second skid.
1. Which of the following kinematic equations would you use to determine the velocity of the car after skidding on the dry pavement for 70 m?
2. Determine the velocity of the car after skidding on the dry pavement for 70 m.
3. Which of the following kinematic equations would you use to determine the deceleration of the car after skidding to a stop on the icy patch?

- Frogs, with their long, strong legs, are excellent jumpers. And thanks to the good folks of Calaveras County, California, who have a jumping frog contest every year in honor of a Mark Twain story, we have very good data as to just how far a determined frog can jump. The current record holder is Rosie the Ribeter, a bullfrog that made a leap of 2.2 m from a standing start. This compares favorably with the world record for a human, which is a mere 3.7 m. Typical data for a serious leap by a bullfrog look like this: The frog goes into a crouch, then rapidly extends its legs by 15 cm as it pushes off, leaving the ground at an angle of 30° to the horizontal. It’s in the air for 0.49 s before landing at the same height from which it took off. Given this leap, what is the acceleration while the frog is pushing off? How far does the frog jump?arrow_forwardIn World War II, there were several reported cases of airmen who jumped from their flaming airplanes with no parachute to escape certain death. Some fell about 20,000 feet (6000 m), and some of them survived, with few life- threatening injuries. For these lucky pilots, the tree branches and snow drifts on the ground allowed their deceleration to be relatively small. If we assume that a pilot's speed upon impact was 123 mph (54 m/s), then what was his deceleration? Assume that the trees and snow stopped him over a distance of 3.0 m.arrow_forwardThe 1992 world speed record for a bicycle (human-powered vehicule) was set by Chris Huber. His time through the measured 200m stretch was a sizzling 6.509 s, at which he commented "Cognito ergo zoom". In 2001, Sam Whittingham's beat Hubert's record by 19.0km/h. What was Whittingham's time through the 200m? (hint: d=rt).arrow_forward
- My pug/bulldog mix, Georgia, who is blind and deaf, gets a whiff of her dinner. As soon as it registers to her that it's dinnertime, she runs 4.12 meters from the middle of our living room to our kitchen, where she is satiated with her grub. If it takes her 4.45 s to get to the kitchen, what was her speed in m/s to the nearest hundredth?arrow_forwardA hippopotamus can run up to 9.86 m/s. Suppose a hippopotamus uniformly accelerates 0.28 m/s² until it reaches a top speed of 9.86 m/s. If the hippopotamus has run 25.1 m, what is its initial speed in m/s? (round your answer to two decimal places; DO NOT include units)arrow_forwardA rocket sled, initially traveling at the rate of v = 160 meters per second, slows down by opening a parachute. During the braking processes, the acceleration is a = -kv, where k = 0.045 per second. How much time is required to slow the sled to 12 meters per second? 58 56 54 52arrow_forward
- A tortoise and a hare are competing in a 1200-meter race. The arrogant hare decides to let the tortoise have a 820-meter head start. When the start gun is fired the hare begins running at a constant speed of 8 meters per second and the tortoise begins crawling at a constant speed of 4.5 meters per second. Which of the following formulas expresses the distance between the tortoise and the hare in meters, d, in terms of the number of seconds, t, since the start gun was fired? Od = 820 - 8t Od = 820 + 3.5t Od = 820 - 3.5t Od = 1200 3.5t Od = 1200 - (8t + 4.5t)arrow_forwardA sprinter runs the length of a running track of length 150 m. To start, she accelerates at 5.0 m/s? for 2.0 seconds and to stop she decelerates at 2.5 m/s2. She is otherwise at a constant velocity. Determine how long it takes in seconds for her to run the length of the running track. O 14 11 19 15 16 18. Previous Page Next Page Page 8 of 14arrow_forwardA runner with a good awareness of her pace runs along a path of unknown length at a speed of 0.275 mi/min and then walks back to her starting point at a speed of 0.0500 mi/min. She neglects to note her time for each part of her path, but does measure the total round trip time to be 60.0 min. How far did she run? Do not include the walking distancearrow_forward
- 6: In World War II, there were several reported cases of airmen who jumped from their flaming airplanes with no parachute to escape certain death. Some fell about 20,000 feet (6000 m), and some of them survived, with few life-threatening injuries. For these lucky pilots, the tree branches and snow drifts on the ground allowed their deceleration to be relatively small. Assume a pilot’s speed upon impact was 54 m/s and the trees and snow stopped him over a distance of 7.6 m. Use a coordinate system where down is positive and, assuming constant acceleration, find the pilot’s acceleration after impact, in meters per second squared.arrow_forwardA pilot ejects from his aircraft and falls 80 m from the ground without friction. Whenhe opens his parachute, he decelerates at 3.5 m/s2. The pilot hits the ground at 5 m/s.How long was the pilot in the air and at what height did he begin his fall?arrow_forwardA startled armadillo leaps upward, rising 0.515 m in the first 0.198 s. (a) What is its initial speed as it leaves the ground? (b) What is its speed at the height of 0.515 m? (c) How much higher does it go? Use g=9.81 m/s2.arrow_forward
