    A cyclist starts from rest and rides in a straight line, increasing speed so that her wheels have a constant angular acceleration of 2.0 rad/s2 around their axles. She accelerates until her wheels are rotating at 8.0 rad/s. If the radius of a tire is 0.31 meters, how far has the cyclist traveled? Answer in m (#10.9.5)

    A paratrooper is initially falling downward at a speed of 27.9 m/s before her parachute opens. When it opens, she experiences an upward instantaneous acceleration of 73 m/s2. (a) If this acceleration remained constant, how much time would be required to reduce the paratrooper's speed to a safe 5.20 m/s? (Actually the acceleration is not constant in this case, but the equations of constant acceleration provide an easy estimate.) (b) How far does the paratrooper fall during this time interval?

    A paratrooper is initially falling downward at a speed of 29.1 m/s before her parachute opens. When it opens, she experiences an upward instantaneous acceleration of 67 m/s2. (a) If this acceleration remained constant, how much time would be required to reduce the paratrooper's speed to a safe 5.50 m/s? (Actually the acceleration is not constant in this case, but the equations of constant acceleration provide an easy estimate.) (b) How far does the paratrooper fall during this time interval?

    4. A bicyclist makes a trip that consists of three parts, each in the same direction (due north) along a straight road. During the first part, she rides for 22 minutes at an average speed of 7.2 m/s. During the second part, she rides for 36 minutes at an average speed of 5.1 m/s. Finally, during the third part, she rides for 8.0 minutes at an average speed of13.0 m/s. (a) Make an x vs time graph and plot the...

    The typical reaction time for most drivers is approximately 2.0 s. This includes 1.0 s to identify the danger and 1.0 s to react to the danger. A deer jumps onto the road when a vehicle is travelling 29.2 m/s. When the brakes are applied, the vehicle decelerates at -5.70 m/s2. Using the typical reaction times described above, what distance, in metres, will the car travel before coming to a complete stop? Answer to the nearest whole number. Include only...

    A bicyclist is finishing his repair of a flat tire when a friend rides by with a constant speed of 3.1 m/s . Two seconds later the bicyclist hops on his bike and accelerates at 2.5 m/s^2 until he catches his friend. (a) How much time does it take until he catches his friend (after his friend passes him)? (b) How far has he traveled in this time? (c) What is his speed when he catches up?
