Acar comes to a bridge during a storm and finds the bridge washed out. the driver must get to the other side, so he decides to try leaping it with his car. the side the car is on is 21.4 m above the river, while the opposite side is a mere 2.2 m above the river. the river itself is a raging torrent 69.0 m wide. how fast should the car be traveling just as it leaves the cliff in order just to clear the river and land safely on the opposite side? what is the speed of the car just before it lands safely on the other side?

Explain to someone who knows nothing about fossils the study of invertebrate paleontology and how it scientists understand the history of the earth. be sure your explanation contains a minimum of two complete sentences.

An alligator swims to the left with a constant velocity of 5 \,\dfrac{\text{m}}{\text s}5 s m ? 5, space, start fraction, m, divided by, s, end fraction. when the alligator sees a bird straight ahead, the alligator speeds up with a constant acceleration of 3 \,\dfrac{\text {m}}{\text s^2}3 s 2 m ? 3, space, start fraction, m, divided by, s, start superscript, 2, end superscript, end fraction leftward until it reaches a final velocity of 35 \,\dfrac{\text {m}}{\text s}35 s m ? 35, space, start fraction, m, divided by, s, end fraction leftward. how many seconds does it take the alligator to speed up from 5 \,\dfrac{\text {m}}{\text s}5 s m ? 5, space, start fraction, m, divided by, s, end fraction to 35 \,\dfrac{\text {m}}{\text s}35 s m ? 35, space, start fraction, m, divided by, s, end fraction?

An athlete swings a ball, connected to the end of a chain, in a horizontal circle. the athlete is able to rotate the ball at the rate of 8.13 rev/s when the length of the chain is 0.600 m. when he increases the length to 0.900 m, he is able to rotate the ball only 6.04 rev/s. (a) which rate of rotation gives the greater speed for the ball? 6.04 rev/s 8.13 rev/s (b) what is the centripetal acceleration of the ball at 8.13 rev/s? m/s2 (c) what is the centripetal acceleration at 6.04 rev/s? m/s2
