A certain elevator cab has a total run of $$190\,m$$ and a maximum speed of $$305\,m/min$$, and it accelerates from rest and then back to rest at $$1.22\,m/s^{2}$$. What is the total time duration of this run?
In the figure, a red car and a green car, identical except for the colour, move toward each other in adjacent lanes and parallel to the $$x-$$axis. At time $$ t = 0$$, the red car is at $$x_{r}=0$$, and the green car is at $$x_{g} =220\,m$$. If the red car has a constant velocity of $$20\,km/h$$, the cars pass each other at $$x = 44.5\,m$$, and if it has a constant velocity of $$40\, km/h$$, they pass each other at $$x = 76.6\, m$$. What is the constant acceleration of the green car?
Catapulting mushrooms.Certain mushrooms launch their spores by a catapult mechanism. As water condenses from the air onto a spore that is attached to the mushroom, a drop grows on one side of the spore and a film grows on the other side.The spore is bent over by the drops weight,but when the film reaches the drop, the drops water suddenly spreads into the film and the spore springs upward so rapidly that it is slung off into the air. Typically, the spore reaches a speed of 1.6m/s in a 5.0 $$\mu$$ m launch; its speed is then reduced to zero in 1.0 mm by the air. Using those data and assuming constant accelerations, find the acceleration
in terms of $$g$$ during the speed reduction?
