You are standing at rest at a bus stop. A bus moving at a constant speed of 5.00 m/s passes you. When the rear of the bus is 19.0 m past you, you realize that it is your bus, so you start to run toward it with a constant acceleration of 0.960 m/s2. Part A How far would you have to run before you catch up with the rear of the bus? Express your answer with the appropriate units. Part B How fast must you be running then? Find the final speed just as you reach the bus. Express your answer with the appropriate units. Submit Request Answer Part C Would an average college student be physically able to accomplish this? Yes No You are standing at rest at a bus stop. A bus moving at a constant speed of 5.00 m/s passes you.

A 15.0 kg stone slides down a snow-covered hill, leaving point A at a speed of 10.0 m/s. There is no friction on the hill between points A and B, but there is friction on the level ground at the bottom of the hill, between B and the wall. After entering the rough horizontal region, the stone travels 100 m and then runs into a very long, light spring with force constant 2.0 N/m. The coefficients of kinetic friction between the stone and the horizontal ground is 0.2 . A. What is the speed of the stone when it reaches point B? (3 marks) B. How far will the stone compress the spring? (6 marks)

A 13.0 kg stone slides down a snow-covered hill (Figure 1), leaving point A at a speed of 12.0 m/s. There is no friction on the hill between points A and B, but there is friction on the level ground at the bottom of the hill, between B and the wall. After entering the rough horizontal region, the stone travels 100 m and then runs into a very long, light spring with force constant 2.10 N/m. The coefficients of kinetic and static friction between the stone and the horizontal ground are 0.20 and 0.80 , respectively. Figure 1 of 1 Part A What is the speed of the stone when it reaches point B? Express your answer in meters per second to three significant figures. v2 = m/s Submit Request Answer Part B How far will the stone compress the spring? Express your answer in meters to three significant figures. x = Submit Request Answer Part C Will the stone move again after it has been stopped by the spring? yes no
