Question: A sperm whale can accelerate at about 0.120 m/s when swimming on the surface of the ocean. How far will a sperm whale travel if




A sperm whale can accelerate at about 0.120 m/s when swimming on the surface of the ocean. How far will a sperm whale travel if it starts at a speed of 0.700 m/s and accelerates to a speed of 2.44 m/s? Assume the whale travels in a straight line. distance traveled: mClasses are canceled due to snow, so you take advantage of the extra time to conduct some physics experiments. You fasten a large toy rocket to the back of a sled and take the modified sled to a large, flat, snowy field. You ignite the rocket and observe that the sled accelerates from rest in the forward direction at a rate of 15.5 m/s for a time period of 3.10 s. After this time period, the rocket engine abruptly shuts off, and the sled subsequently undergoes a constant backward acceleration due to friction of 4.15 m/s-. After the rocket turns off, how much time does it take for the sled to come to a stop? time: S By the time the sled finally comes to a rest, how far has it traveled from its starting point? distance traveled: mA small bag of sand is released from an ascending hotair balloon whose constant. upward velocity is 0.3. : 2.65 ms. Knowing that at the time of the release the balloon was TL?) m above the ground, determine the time '1." it takes for the bag to reach the ground from the moment of its release. Use 3 = 9.81 mfsz. You attach a meter stick to an oak tree. such that the top of the meter stick is 1.2}I meters above the ground. Later, an acorn falls from somewhere higher up in the tree. If the acorn takes 0.266 seconds to pass the length of the meter stick, how high I10 above the ground was the acorn before it fell, assuming that the acorn did not run into any branches or leaves on the wag.r down
