(3) A hot air balloon is rising at a constant speed of 2.14 m/s. One of the passengers, a physics professor, has left his brain on the ground. A concerned student tosses the brain straight upward with an initial speed of 10.23 m/s, hoping the professor will catch it. The professor is unable to catch his brain on its way up but is able to catch it on its way back down. If the professor is 2.56 m above the student's hand at the instant his brain leaves the student's hand, what is the elapsed time between the brain leaving the student's hand and the professor catching the brain? (answer: 1.22 s)

In a classic clip on Americas Funniest Home Videos, a sleeping cat rolls gently off the top of a warm TV set. Ignoring air resistance, calculate the position and velocity of the cat after (a) 0.100 s, (b) 0.200 s, and (c) 0.300 s.
A car is traveling on a straight, level road under wintry conditions. Seeing a patch of ice ahead of her, the driver of the car slams on her brakes and skids on dry pavement for 70 m, decelerating at 6.0 m/s2. Then she hits the icy patch and skids again. The car takes a duration of 85.0 s to come to rest during the second skid. If her initial speed was 50 m/s, what was the magnitude of the deceleration on the ice during the second skid. 1. Which of the following kinematic equations would you use to determine the velocity of the car after skidding on the dry pavement for 70 m? 2. Determine the velocity of the car after skidding on the dry pavement for 70 m. 3. Which of the following kinematic equations would you use to determine the deceleration of the car after skidding to a stop on the icy patch? 4. Determine the magnitude of the deceleration of the car after skidding to a stop on the icy patch.

A jet plane lands with a speed of 100 m/s and can accelerate at a maximum rate of 25.00 m/s? as it comes to rest. (a) From the instant the plane touches the runway, what is the minimum time needed before it can come to rest?

You can perform a popular trick by dropping any peso bill (Ex. 500 peso bill )lengthwise through the thumb and forefinger of a classmate. Tell your classmate to grab the peso bill as fast as possible and he/she can keep the money if he/she catches it. The length of the peso bill is 15.7 cm and the average human reaction time is about 0.20 s. Will your classmate catch the bill and keep the money?
78. In 1998, NASA launched Deep Space 1 (DS-1), a spacecraft that successfully flew by the asteroid named 1992 KD (which orbits the sun millions of miles from the earth). The propulsion system of DS-1 worked by ejecting high-speed argon ions out the rear of the engine. The en- gine slowly increased the velocity of DS-1 by about +9.0 m/s per day. (a) How much time (in days) would it take to increase the velocity of DS-1 by +2700 m/s? (b) What was the acceleration of DS-1 (in m/s²)?
I was standing on the side of a 10-m foot bridge, holding a ball while watching a car approaching the bridge at uniform speed. When the car was 15 meters away from where I was standing, the ball that I was holding slipped in my hand and the car arrived at the bridge when the ball hit the ground. What was the speed of the train? ( Assume that the final velocity of the ball is NOT zero)
A student who aspires to ace his quiz in Phys134 went to a wishing well. He dropped his first 10-peso coin and made a quick wish. Two seconds after he dropped his first coin, he threw another 10-peso coin vertically downward with a speed of 30m/s. How long will it take the second coin to overtake the first?
A hot-air balloon has just lifted off and is rising at the constant rate of 2.5 m/s . Suddenly one of the passengers realizes she has left her camera on the ground. A friend picks it up and tosses it straight upward with an initial speed of 14 m/s . If the passenger is 2.5 m above her friend when the camera is tossed, how high is she when the camera reaches her?
A red train traveling at 20 m/s and a green train traveling at 40 m/s are headed toward one another along a straight, level track. When they are 950 m apart, each engineer sees the other's train and applies the breaks. The breaks decelerates each train at the rate of 1 m/s˄2. What is the speed (in m/s) of the green train at impact?
A hot air balloon has just lifted off and is rising at a constant rate of 2.0 m/s. Suddenly one of the passengers realizes she has left her camera on the ground.

A red train traveling at 72 km/h and a green train traveling at 144 km/h are headed toward each other along a straight, level track.When they are 950 m apart, each engineer sees the other’s train and applies the brakes.The brakes slow each train at the rate of 1.0 m/s2. Is there a collision? If so, answer yes and give the speed of the red train and the speed of the green train at impact, respectively. If not, answer no and give the separation between the trains when they stop
