A runner covers the last straight stretch of a race in 4 s. During that time, he speeds up from 5 m/s to 9 m/s. What is the runner’s acceleration in this part of the race?

Students design a model roller-coaster track. they place a rubber ball at the highest point on the track and let it go. the ball rolls along the track pulled only by the force of gravity. eventually, it comes to a stop. which change to the design will result in the ball moving the greatest distance?

By what factor does the drag force on a car increase as it goes from 65 to 110 km/h?

Two masses are connected by a rope that hangs over a pulley as shown below. the pulley is a uniform cylinder of radius 푅=0.381meters and mass 푀=3.1푘푔. initially 푚"is on the ground and 푚#rests 2.5 meters above the ground. if the system is released, use conservation of energy to determine the speed of 푚#just before it strikes the ground. assume the pulley bearing is frictionless.
