The human body can survive a negative sudden stop if the magnitude of the acceleration is less than 250m/s². If you are in an automobile accident with an initial speed of 105km/h and are stopped by an airbag that inflates from the dashboard, over what distance must the airbag stop you for you to survive the crash?

The NEXT morning, you wake up in a strange room yet again, and this time you drop a ball from a height of 1.18 m above the floor. The ball hits the floor 0.147 s after your drop it. You guess that you must have been taken to an alien planet with gravity different from Earth s. What is this planet s g (that is, the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity on this planet)?
We investigated a jet landing on an aircraft carrier. In a later maneuver, the jet comes in for a landing on solid ground with a speed of 95 m/s, and its acceleration can have a maximum magnitude of 7.97 m/s² as it comes to rest. (a) From the instant the jet touches the runway, what is the minimum time interval needed before it can come to rest? (b) Can this jet land on a small tropical island airport where the runway is 0.800 km long? Yes No (c) Explain your answer.
The car starts from rest and accelerates according to the relationship 0.001V2 + a - 3 = 0 It travels around a circular track that has a radius of 300 meters. Calculate the velocity of the car after it has travelled halfway around the track. What is the car's maximum possible speed?
In 1992, a 14-kg meteorite struck a car in Peekskill, NY, leaving a 20-cm-deep dent in the trunk. If the meteorite was moving at 500 m/s before striking the car, what was the magnitude of its acceleration while stopping? Find the time it takes for the meteorite to come to a complete stop.
You wake up in a strange room and you drop a ball from a height of 1.02 m above the floor. The ball hits the floor 0.319 s after your drop it. You guess that you must have been taken to an alien planet with gravity different from Earths. What is this planets g (that is, the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity on this planet)? 36.0 m/s^2 20.0 m/s^2 10.0 m/s^2 15.0 m/s^2
A man flies a small airplane from Fargo to Bismarck, North Dakota a distance of 180 miles. Because he is flying into --- a head wind, the trip takes him 2 hours. On the way back, the wind is still blowing at the same speed, so the return trip takes only 1 hour 12 minutes. What is his speed in still air, and how fast is the wind blowing? Your answer is his speed equals the wind speed equals
A jet plane comes in for a landing with a speed of 120 m/s. The length of the runway is 500 m. From the instant the plane touches the runway, what is the magnitude of the acceleration needed to stop within the runway? Write your answer in terms of m/s2.
Assume that an intercontinental ballistic missile goes from rest to a suborbital speed of 6.50 Km/s in 60.0 s ( the actual speed and time are classified). What is its average acceleration in m/s2 and multiples of g ( 9.80/s2)?
An astronaut is playing with a ping pong paddle and ball in zero gravity. The astronaut is 12 m from a flat wall and floating toward it at 4 m/s. A ping pong ball bounces back and forth between his paddle and the wall at 11 m/s. Eventually, the astronaut reaches the wall and traps the ball against it. Now treat the “bounce” somewhat realistically. If the bounce lasts 25ms, what is the average acceleration of the ball during this time? Give the magnitude only in m/s^2.
The trap-jaw ant, found throughout tropical South America, catches its prey by very rapidly closing its mandibles around its victim. (Figure 1) shows the speed of one of its mandible jaws versus time in microseconds. What is the magnitude of the maximum acceleration of the ant's mandible? The mass of a trap-jaw ant's mandible has been estimated to be about 1.1×10−7kg1.1×10−7kg. Estimate the maximum force exerted by one mandible.

An initially motionless test car is accelerated uniformly to 135 km/hr in 8.08 seconds before striking a simulated deer. The car is in contact with the faux fawn for seconds, after which the car is measured to be traveling at 87.5 km/hr. What is the magnitude of the average acceleration of the car during the collision?
