Parachute opens-a drag racer-starting from rest : A drag racer, starting from rest, speeds up for 402 m with an acceleration of +21.0 m/s2. A parachute then opens, slowing the car down with an acceleration of -5.75 m/s2. How fast is the racer moving 2.90 102 m after the parachute opens?

How long did it take the car to cover that distance : A car originally at 14 m/s ( about 50 kph) covered a distance of 250 m. If its speed at the end of trip is 20 m/s ( about 72 kph), how long did it take the car to cover that distance

Maximum temperature reached during the compression : 19 g of helium gas are placed in a cylinder with a movable piston. The gas is compressed very slowly from a state of ( p1 = 5atm; v1 = 32 10^3m3) to a state of (p2 = 17atm; v2 = 9 10^3m3 ). The compression is such that the system moves along a str..
