A hockey player is standing on his skates on a frozen pond when an opposing player, moving with a uniform speed of 4.0 m/s, skates by with the puck. After 1.40 s, the first player makes up his mind to chase his opponent. If he accelerates uniformly at 0.10 m/s2, determine each of the following. take him to catch his opponent? (Assume the player with the puck remains in motion at constant speed.) (a) How long does S (b) How far has he traveled in that time? m

As a science project, you drop a watermelon off the top of the Empire State Building, 320 m above the sidewalk. It so happens that Superman flies by at the instant you release the watermelon. Superman is headed straight down with a speed of 37.0 m/sm/s.How fast is the watermelon going when it passes Superman?

An inquisitive physics student and mountain climber climbs a 51.0-m-high cliff that overhangs a calm pool of water. He throws two stones vertically downward, 1.00 s apart, and observes that they cause a single splash. The first stone has an initial speed of 2.06 m/s. (b) What initial velocity must the second stone have if the two stones are to hit the water simultaneously?
A bus is traveling with a uniform velocity of 20 m/s. At the instant it passes a car at rest, the car starts to accelerate at 4 m/s² in the same direction as the velocity of the bus. (a) After how many seconds will the car overtake the bus? (b) How far will the car travel before overtaking the bus?
Wellington Wildcat is rushing to get to a parade in time to be the grand marshal. He’s standing in theback of a flatbed truck while McFogg the Dog races at 25 m/s towards town. Suddenly, McFogg sees atiny maple leaf in the road 55 m ahead, and, being a proud Canadian, slams on the brakes to protect thesacred totem. Since McFogg is known to ride the brakes like a real jerk, let’s assume his reaction time tohit the breaks is essentially zero.A. Can McFogg actually stop before the truck reaches the leaf? The coefficients of friction betweenrubber tires and dry concrete are: μs = 1.00, μk = 0.80. When answering this question, be sure toinclude a free-body diagram representing the truck and its stellar mascots as a single object.B. Now here’s the real serious question: Is it possible for McFogg to stop short of the leaf such thatWellington does not slip and slide into the back of the truck cab? The coefficients of friction forWellington’s shoes on the bed of the truck are: μs = 0.60, μk =…
