At 9:30 AM, Alexandra is yards away from class and is walking miles per hour towards class. Also at 9:30 AM, Sam is walking towards a class at miles per hour from some unknown distance. They arrive at class at exactly the same time. How many seconds after 9:30 AM did they arrive at class and how far away was Sam from class at 9:30 AM?

You are a student in a science class that is using the following apparatus to determine the value of g. Two photogates are used. (Note: You may be familiar with photogates in everyday living. You see them in the doorways of some stores. They are designed to ring a bell when someone interrupts the beam while walking through the door.) One photogate is located at the edge of a table that is 1.00 m above the floor, and the second photogate is located directly below the first, at a height 0.500 m above the floor. You are told to drop a marble through these gates, releasing it from rest a negligible distance above the upper gate. The upper gate starts a timer as the ball passes through its beam. The second photogate stops the timer when the ball passes through its beam. (a) Prove that the experimental magnitude of free-fall acceleration is given by gexp = (2?y)/(?t)2, where ?y is the vertical distance between the photogates and ?t is the fall time. (b) For your setup, what value of ?t would you expect to measure, assuming gexp is the standard value (9.81 m/s2)? (c) During the experiment, a slight error is made. Instead of locating the first photogate even with the top of the table, your not-so-careful lab partner locates it 0.50 cm lower than the top of the table. However, she does manage to properly locate the second photogate at a height of 0.50 m above the floor. However, she releases the marble from the same height that it was released from when the photogate was 1.00 m above the floor. What value of gexp will you and your partner determine? What percentage difference does this represent from the standard value of g?

A sports car claims that it can start from rest and reach 60 mph(26.8 m/s) in a distance of 33.5 meters. To reach its maximummspeed, it accelerates at this constant rate for 11.25seconds.

a) How many seconds does it take to reach 60 mph?
- I got 1.25 seconds
b) What is the maximum speed of this car?
- Using kinematics I got 120.6 m/s
c) If the mass is 1900 kg, what force must the car provide to keepit traveling at this maximum speed ( Hint: don't forgetfriction)

- I know that Fnet= mass x acceleration, and that gives me 1900 x10.72 = 20,368 N
but this is not taking into account friction. What role doesfriction play and how can I calculate it properly?

d) I was driving this car at a maximum speed on a test track when adeer ran out in front of me. My reaction time was 0.5 seconds,before I hit the brakes. Assuming that the engine is no longerapplying any forward force, and my wheels lock up, how far will Itravel before I come to a stop after seeing the deer (give answerin miles, using: 1 Km = 0.62 miles)?

e) How much time will elapse from the time that I see the deeruntil I stop?
