A 51.5-g Super Ball traveling at 28.5 m/s bounces off a brick wall and rebounds at 15.5 m/s. A high-speed camera records this event. If the ball is in contact with the wall for 4.15 ms, what is the magnitude of the average acceleration of the ball during this time interval? m/s2

A jet plane lands with a speed of 92 m/s and can accelerate at a maximum rate of 4.30 m/s2 as it comes to rest. (a) From the instant the plane touches the runway, what is the minimum time needed before it can come to rest? s (b) Can this plane land on a small tropical island airport where the runway is 0.800 km long? Yes No

A car starts from rest and travels for 6.0 s with a uniform acceleration of +2.9 m/s2. The driver then applies the brakes, causing a uniform acceleration of 1.0 m/s2. If the brakes are applied for 2.0 s, determine each of the following. (a) How fast is the car going at the end of the braking period? m/s (b) How far has the car gone? m

A certain freely falling object, released from rest, requires 1.55 s to travel the last 26.5 m before it hits the ground. (a) Find the velocity of the object when it is 26.5 m above the ground. (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer. Let the positive direction be upward.) m/s (b) Find the total distance the object travels during the fall. m

A student throws a set of keys vertically upward to his fraternity brother, who is in a window 3.70 m above. The brother's outstretched hand catches the keys 1.30 s later. (Take upward as the positive direction. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) (a) With what initial velocity were the keys thrown? m/s (b) What was the velocity of the keys just before they were caught? m/s
