It was once recorded that a Jaguar left skid marks that were 290 m in length. Assuming that the Jaguar skidded to a stop with a constant acceleration of -3.90 m/s2, determine the speed of the Jaguar before it began to skid.

Vf= 47.6 m/s

A kangaroo is capable of jumping to a height of 2.62 m. Determine the takeoff speed of the kangaroo.

Vf= 7.17 m/s

A bullet is moving at a speed of 367 m/s when it embeds into a lump of moist clay. The bullet penetrates for a distance of 0.0621 m. Determine the acceleration of the bullet while moving into the clay. (Assume a uniform acceleration.)

a= 1,084,452.5 m/s^2

A bullet leaves a rifle with a muzzle velocity of 521 m/s. While accelerating through the barrel of the rifle, the bullet moves a distance of 0.840 m. Determine the acceleration of the bullet (assume a uniform acceleration).

a= 161,572 m/s^2

A plane has a takeoff speed of 88.3 m/s and requires 1365 m to reach that speed. Determine the acceleration of the plane and the time required to reach this speed.

a= 2.86 m/s^2 t= 30.9 s

A feather is dropped on the moon from a height of 1.40 meters. The acceleration of gravity on the moon is 1.67 m/s2. Determine the time for the feather to fall to the surface of the moon.

t= 1.29 s

What is the speed of a rocket that travels 9000 meters in 12.12 seconds?

v= 742.6 m/s

After an impact involving a non-functioning satellite, a paint chip leaves the surface of the satellite at a speed of 96 m/s. After 17 seconds, how far has the chip landed?

x= 1632 m

An airplane accelerates from rest down a runway at 3.20 m/s2 for 32.8 s until it finally lifts off the ground. Determine the distance traveled before takeoff.

x= 1721.3 m

An engineer is designing the runway for an airport. Of the planes that will use the airport, the lowest acceleration rate is likely to be 3 m/s2. The takeoff speed for this plane will be 65 m/s. Assuming this minimum acceleration, what is the minimum allowed length for the runway?

x= 704.2 m
