A motorist suddenly notices a stalled car and slams on the brakes, decelerating at the rate of 6.3 m/s2. Unfortunately this isn't good enough, and a collision ensues. From the damage sustained, police estimate that the car was moving at 15 km/h at the time of the collision. They also measure the skid marks from the motorist's car to be 28 m long.

a. How fast was the motorist going when the brakes were first applied?

b. How much time elapsed from the initial braking to the collision?

Your starship, the aimless wanderer, lands on the mysterious planet mongo. as chief scientist-engineer, you make the following measurements: a 2.50-kg stone thrown upward from the ground at 14.0 m/s returns to the ground in 5.70 s ; the circumference of mongo at the equator is 2.20Γ—10^5 km ; and there is no appreciable atmosphere on mongo. (a) the starship commander, captain confusion, asks for the following information: what is the mass of mongo? (b) if the aimless wanderer goes into a circular orbit 2.20Γ—10^4 km above the surface of mongo, how many hours will it take the ship to complete one orbit? (c) an unmanned spacecraft is in a circular orbit around the moon, observing the lunar surface from an altitude of 44.0 km . to the dismay of scientists on earth, an electrical fault causes an on-board thruster to fire, decreasing the speed of the spacecraft by 23.0 m/s . if nothing is done to correct its orbit, with what speed (in km/h) will the spacecraft crash into the lunar surface?
