A jetliner, traveling northward, is landing with a speed of 69 m/s. Once the jet touches down, it has 750 m of runway in which to reduce its speed to 6.1 m/s. Compute the average acceleration (magnitude and direction) of the plane during landing.

A VW Beetle goes from 0 to 60.0 mi/h with an acceleration of

$$+ 2.35 \mathrm { m } / \mathrm { s } ^ { 2 }$$

(a) How much time does it take for the Beetle to reach this speed? (b) A top-fuel dragster can go from 0 to 60.0 mi/h in 0.600 s. Find the acceleration

$$\left( \text { in } \mathrm { m } / \mathrm { s } ^ { 2 } \right)$$

of the dragster .

A dynamite blast at a quarry launches a chunk of rock straight upward, and 2.0 s later it is rising at a speed of 15 m/s. Assuming air resistance has no effect on the rock, calculate its speed (a) at launch and (b) 5.0 s after launch.

A jetliner, traveling northward, is landing with a speed of 69 m/s. Once the jet touches down, it has 750 m of runway in which to reduce its speed to 6.1 m/s. Compute the average acceleration (magnitude and direction) of the plane during landing.

A jogger accelerates from rest to 3.0 m/s in 2.0 s. A car accelerates from 38.0 to 41.0 m/s also in 2.0 s. (a) Find the acceleration (magnitude only) of the jogger. (b) Determine the acceleration (magnitude only) of the car. (c) Does the car travel farther than the jogger during the 2.0 s? If so, how much farther

Suppose a car is traveling at 20.0 m/s, and the driver sees a traffic light turn red. After 0.530 s has elapsed (the reaction time), the driver applies the brakes, and the car decelerates at

$$7.00 m/s^2.$$

What is the stopping distance of the car, as measured from the point where the driver first notices the red light?
