(c) This result does not really make sense. If the runner starts at 9.00 m/s and decelerates at 2.00 m/s22.00 m/s2, then she will have stopped after 4.50 s. If she continues to decelerate, she will be running backwards.

(b) −15×102m/s2−15×102m/s2. This is about 3 times the deceleration of the pilots, who were falling from thousands of meters high!

(a) 32.6 m/s232.6 m/s2

(b) 162 m/s162 m/s

(c) v>vmaxv>vmax, because the assumption of constant acceleration is not valid for a dragster. A dragster changes gears, and would have a greater acceleration in first gear than second gear than third gear, etc. The acceleration would be greatest at the beginning, so it would not be accelerating at 32.6 m/s232.6 m/s2 during the last few meters, but substantially less, and the final velocity would be less than 162 m/s.

(b) v=0m/sv=0m/s. Unknown is distance yy to top of trajectory, where velocity is zero. Use equation v2=v02+2ay−y0v2=v02+2ay−y0 because it contains all known values except for yy, so we can solve for yy. Solving for yy gives

v 2 − v 0 2 = 2a y − y 0 v 2 − v 0 2 2a = y − y 0 y = y 0 + v 2 − v 0 2 2a = 0 m + 0 m/s 2 − 13.0 m/s 2 2 − 9.80 m /s 2 = 8.62 m v 2 − v 0 2 = 2a y − y 0 v 2 − v 0 2 2a = y − y 0 y = y 0 + v 2 − v 0 2 2a = 0 m + 0 m/s 2 − 13.0 m/s 2 2 − 9.80 m /s 2 = 8.62 m

Dolphins measure about 2 meters long and can jump several times their length out of the water, so this is a reasonable result.

(a) Car A is traveling faster at the checkpoint because it must go past the speed of car B to reach the same distance.

(b) i. Yes, the equation is consistent with the answer because the speed of car A is only a constant away from the correct answer. ii. Yes, the equation makes sense because V=2 V 0 V=2 V 0 .

(c)

The figure shows velocity v graphed as a function of position x. The plot of V sub A is linear, with a positive slope, starting at the origin and ending at a maximum velocity of 2 times v sub 0 at velocity v sub zero. The plot of V sub B is a constant at velocity v sub zero.
