- While strolling downtown on a Saturday Afternoon, you stumble across an old car show. As you are walking along an alley toward a main street, you glimpse a particularly stylish Alpha Romeo pass by. Tall buildings on either side of the alley obscure your view, so you see the car only as it passes between the buildings. Thinking back to your physics class, you realize that you can calculate the cars acceleration. You estimate the width of the alleyway between the two buildings to be 4 m. The car was in view for 0.5 s. You also heard the engine rev when the car started from a red light, so you know the Alpha Romeo started from rest 2 s before you first saw it. Find the magnitude of its acceleration.arrow_forwardTwo children who are bored while waiting for their flight at the airport decide to race from one end of the 20-m-long moving sidewalk to the other and back. Phillippe runs on the sidewalk at 2.0 m/s (relative to the sidewalk). Renee runs on the floor at 2.0 m/s. The sidewalk moves at 1.5 m/s relative to the floor. Both make the turn instantly with no loss of speed. a. Who wins the race? b. By how much time does the winner win?arrow_forwardA child, who is L = 41 m from the bank of a river, is being carried helplessly downstream by the river's swift current of 1.0 m/s. As the child passes a lifeguard on the river's bank, the lifeguard starts swimming in a straight line until she reaches the child at a point downstream. a.) If the lifeguard can swim at a speed of 2.0 m/s relative to the water, how long does it take her to reach the child? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. b.)How far downstream does the lifeguard intercept the child? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.arrow_forward
- David is buying a jet boat this summer and spending a lot of time zooming around. One place he plans on going is to the Plate River above Albany, NY. The current is 4 m/s south and the river is 200m wide. the boat will move at 20 m/s at full throttle, his only setting. A. how quickly will he cross the river if he heads straight across?B. how far downstream will he end up if he does so?C. if he wants to go straight across, what angle upstream should he use?arrow_forwardAn object is released from rest at a height of h. During the final second of its fall, it traverses a distance of 38m. Determine h. I would like to know the solution but also maybe an explanation on how I would know what process to take. For the last second, I was able to find that final vf = 38m/s. That is vf = deltax/deltat, or 38m/1s. I plugged it in to vf2 = vo2 + 2a(deltax), since I think that vf shouldn't change for h, but I got the wrong answer. Please explain.arrow_forwardA movie stunt is designed such that the stuntman is to run across and directly off a rooftop onto the roof of the next building, which is 3.6 m below and 5.9 m away from the building the stuntman runs on. a. How long does it take for the stuntman to fall to the same height as the roof of the shorter building? b. Can the stuntman successfully make the jump if he runs at 4.8 m/s?arrow_forward
