A Meteorite shooting vertically down into the Earth, weighing 27 pounds and traveling at 130 m/s, is found 22 cm deep in the ground. What was the magnitude of the acceleration necessary to stop the meteorite? ?
here,
intial speed , u = 130 m/s
s = 0.22 m
let the accelration be a
v^2 - u^2 = 2 * a * s
0 - 130^2 = 2 * a * 0.22
solving for a
a = 3.84 * 10^4 m/s^2
the magnitude of accelration is 3.84 * 10^4 m/s^2

53. A Meteorite Strikes On October 9, 1992, a 27-pound meteorite struck a car in Peekskill, NY, leaving a dent 22 cm deep in the trunk. If the meteorite struck the car with a speed of 130 m/s, what was the magnitude of its deceleration, assuming it to be constant?
A car is 162 m from a stop sign and traveling toward the sign at 27 m/s. At this time, the driver suddenly realizes that she must stop the car. If it takes 0.200 s for the driver to apply the brakes, what must be the magnitude of the constant acceleration of the car after the brakes are applied so that the car will come to rest at the stop sign?
The rolling resistance of steel is typically mu_r = .002. If a train weighing 160,000 kg is rolling at 12m/s and the engineer turns off the engine to let the train cruise to a stop, how much time will it take to come to a stop? How far will the train move during this time? What is the drag force on a 1.5 m wide, 1.8 m high car traveling at 20 m/s? A 22 cm diameter bowling ball has...
At the time t = 0 s, an object of mass m = 10.5kg goes through the origin of a reference frame with at velocity x_0 = 12.0 m/s directed along the x axis. A constant force F = 15 N distorted along the y axis is applied to the object. a) Draw a free body diagram of the object. b) Calculate the magnitude of the object's acceleration. c) Calculate the x and y coordinate of the object at the...

A) On Earth (a = 10 m/s/s) you throw a ball downward from the top of a 75 m cliff. The ball takes 3 seconds to strike the ground. How fast was the ball going when you released it? B) A sports car goes racing down the street and skids to a stop. You measure the length of the skid to be 50 m. This car's brakes give it a 4 m/s/s stopping acceleration. How fast was the car going...

Question 2 A car is traveling to the left at 20 m/s and it is accelerating to the left at a constant rate. After 5 seconds of time, the car is traveling to the right at 5 m/s. a. What is the acceleration of the car? b. How far does the car travel over the 5 seconds? Question 3 A stone is thrown upward. When the stone is traveling downward with a speed that is twice that of the initial...
A car is traveling at a constant speed of 27 m/s on a highway. At the instant this car passes an entrance ramp, a second car enters the highway from the ramp. The second car starts from rest and has a constant acceleration. What acceleration must it maintain, so that the two cars meet for the first time at the next exit, which is 2.3 km away?
