An airline pilot begins a trip to duluth from an airport located 1500 km south of duluth. her air speed is 260 m/s, but a wind blows from west to east at 40 m/s that takes her off course if she flies directly north. she has the choice of heading slightly westward so that the wind causes her to end up at duluth or heading due north until she reaches a position directly east of duluth and then heading west into the wind to duluth.

which route takes a shorter time interval?

a) the first route will be shorter.
b) the second route will be shorter.
c) the routes are equal to each other.

Jason and mia are both running in a race. as they approach the finish line, you being the physicist that you are decide to time how long it takes them to reach the end of the race. when you start your stop watch (you can take this as time t = 0 s) you notice that mia is an unknown distance d ahead of jason and both are moving with the same initial velocity v_0. you also notice that jason is accelerating at a constant rate of a_j, while mia is deaccelerating at a constant rate of -a_m. jason and mia meet each other for the first time at time t = t_1. at this time (t = t_1) jason's velocity is two times that of mia's velocity, meaning v_j (t_1) = 2v_m (t_1). a) draw the position vs. time graph describing mia's and jason's motion from time t = 0 to time t = t_1. clearly label your axes and initial conditions on your graph. b) draw the velocity vs. time graph describing mia and jason's motion from time t = 0s to time t = t_1. clearly label your axes and initial conditions on your graph. c) how long from when the stop watch was started at t = 0s did it take mia and jason to meet? express your answer in terms of know quantities v_0, a_m, and a_j. d) when the stop watch started at time t = 0s, how far apart, d, were mia and jason? express your answer in terms of know quantities v_0, a_m, and a_j.

Acave rescue team lifts an injured spelunker directly upward and out of a sinkhole by means of a motor-driven cable. the lift is performed in three stages, each requiring a vertical distance of 11.0 m: (a) the initially stationary spelunker is accelerated to a speed of 4.80 m/s; (b) he is then lifted at the constant speed of 4.80 m/s; (c) finally he is decelerated to zero speed. how much work is done on the 78.0 kg rescue by the force lifting him during each stage

Light from the sun reaches the earth in 8.3 minutes. the velocity is 3.00 x 10^8 m/s. how far is earth from the sun? i know how to get to d = (3 x 10^8 m/s)(498 sec). i just don't know how to get from there to the answer being 1.5 x 10^11 m.
