Calculate the G-force acting on a NASCAR racecar during a crash, where the initial velocity is 187 mi/hr, and the vehicle is stopped by a retaining wall in 0.35 seconds. The final velocity is 0 mi/hr. (Be sure to convert (mi/hr) to (m/s). There are 1,609 meters in one mile, and there are 3,600 seconds in one hour.) You will be using the formula for acceleration = (final velocity – initial velocity) divided by the time. Then, you take that value and divide by 9.8 to get the value for the G-force. For example, if a car is traveling at 83.6 m/s and is brought to a final velocity of 0 m/s in .25 seconds, the G-force it experiences is G = ((final velocity – initial velocity)/time)/9.8 = ((0 – 83.6)/.25 ) / 9.8 = 34 G. We take the absolute value for G, i.e., the negative becomes positive.

A ball is thrown straight up with an initial velocity of 19.6 m/s. Assume it experiences a constant acceleration of 9.8 m/s^2 down (due to gravity) throughout the entire motion. The motion we will consider is the one from the time it was thrown upward to the time it returns to its initial height, which will take a total of 4 seconds. (a) find an expression for the ball's acceleration as a function of time (b) sketch the acceleration as...
