To solve the problem of how far a race car moves when a person sneezes for 0.5 seconds while driving at a speed of 108 km/hr, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert the speed from km/hr to m/s The speed of the car is given as 108 km/hr. To convert this to meters per second (m/s), we use the conversion factor: \[ 1 \text{ km/hr} = \frac{1}{3.6} \text{ m/s} \] Alternatively, we can multiply by \( \frac{5}{18} \): ...

A person is standing at the edge of a slow moving river which is 1 km wide. He wishes to return to the camp ground on the opposite side of the river for which he may swim to any point on the opposite bank and then walk for the rest of the distance.

If he swims at the rate of 2 km/hr and walks at the rate of 3 km/hr, the minimum time taken by him is approximately 0.6 hr (b) 0.7 hr (c) 0.8 hr (d) 0.9 hr

A car starts moving rectilinearly first with acceleration alpha=5 m s^(-2) (the initial velocity is equal to zero), then uniformly, and finally, deceleration at the same rate alpha comea to a stop. The time of motion equals t=25 s . The average velocity during this time is equal to =72 km h^(-1) How long does the car move unitromly?

An amusement park ride consist of a large verticle cylinder that spins about its axis first fast enough that any person inside is held up againest the wall when the is mu_(s) and the radius of the cylider is R a. Shown that maximum period of revolation neccessary to keep the person from falling is T = (4 pi^(2) mu_(s) R //g)^(1//2) b. Obtain a numerical value for T taking R = 4.00m and mu_(s) = 0.400 . How many revolations per minute does the cylinder make? c. If the rate of revolation of the cylinder is make to be some what larger what happens to the magnitude of each one of the forces acting on the person ? What happens to the motion of the person ? d. If instead the cylinder rate revolution is made to be somewhat smaller what happens to the magnitude and what happens to the motion of the person ?
