Question 1, chap 2, sect 7. part 1 of 1 10 points

A ranger in a national park is driving at 46 km/h when a deer jumps onto the road 86 m ahead of the vehicle. After a reaction time of t s, the ranger applies the brakes to produce an acceleration of −3.8 m/s2. What is the maximum reaction time al-

lowed if the ranger is to avoid hitting the deer? Answer in units of s.

Question 2, chap 2, sect 7. part 1 of 2 10 points

A car starts from rest and travels for 7.1 s with a uniform acceleration of +2.2 m/s2. The driver then applies the brakes, causing a uniform acceleration of −1.6 m/s2. a) If the brakes are applied for 2.3 s, how

fast is the car going at the end of the braking period? Answer in units of m/s.

Question 3, chap 2, sect 7. part 2 of 2 10 points

b) How far has it gone from its start? Answer in units of m.

Question 4, chap 2, sect 9. part 1 of 2 10 points

A ball is dropped from rest at point O (height unknown). After falling for some time, it passes by a window of height 2.6 m and it does so during time tAB = 0.3 s. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 .

The ball accelerates all the way down; let vA be its speed as it passes the window’s top A and vB its speed as it passes the window’s bottom B. How much did the ball speed up as it passed

the window; i.e., calculate ∆vdown = vB −vA ? Answer in units of m/s.

Question 5, chap 2, sect 9. part 2 of 2 10 points

Calculate the speed vA at which the ball passes the window’s top. Answer in units of m/s.

Question 6, chap 2, sect 4. part 1 of 5 10 points

Find the average velocity in the time inter- val 1 s to 4 s. Answer in units of m/s.

Question 9, chap 2, sect 4. part 4 of 5 10 points

Find the average velocity in the time inter- val 4 s to 8 s. Answer in units of m/s.

Question 10, chap 2, sect 4. part 5 of 5 10 points

Find the average velocity in the time inter- val 0 s to 9 s. Answer in units of m/s.

Question 11, chap 2, sect 6. part 1 of 1 10 points

A tennis ball with a speed of 6.8 m/s is thrown perpendicularly at a wall. After strik- ing the wall, the ball rebounds in the opposite direction with a speed of 4.3 m/s. If the ball is in contact with the wall for

0.015 s, what is the average acceleration of the ball while it is in contact with the wall? Answer in units of m/s2.

Question 12, chap 2, sect 9. part 1 of 2 10 points

A ball is thrown upward. Its initial ver- tical speed is 10.9 m/s and the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 , as shown in the figure below. Neglect: Air resistance.

Question 14, chap 2, sect 4. part 1 of 2 10 points

A person travels by car from one city to another. She drives for 23.2 min at 67.7 km/h, 9.6 min at 84.7 km/h, 50.4 min at 45.5 km/h, and spends 17.4 min along the way eating lunch and buying gas. Determine the distance between the cities

along this route. Answer in units of km.
