1. How many seconds would it take a werewolf to accelerate from rest to its top speed of 11 m/s over a distance of 11 meters?
Added by Antonio V.
Step 1
We can use the equation: \[ v^2 = u^2 + 2as \] where: \( v = 11 \, m/s \) (final velocity) \( u = 0 \, m/s \) (initial velocity, as the werewolf starts from rest) \( a \) = acceleration \( s = 11 \, m \) (distance) Show more…

One of the fastest land animals of North America is the pronghorn antelope. If a pronghorn antelope accelerates from rest in a straight line with a constant acceleration of 1.7 m/s², how much time does it take for the antelope to reach a speed of 22 m/s?

One of the fastest land animals of North America is the pronghorn antelope. If a pronghorn antelope accelerates from rest in a straight line with a constant acceleration of $1.7 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$, how much time does it take for the antelope to reach a speed of $22 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} ?$
Suppose that motion studies of a runner show that the maximum speed she can maintain for a period of about 10 seconds is 12 m/s. If in a 100-meter dash, this runner accelerates with a constant acceleration until she reaches this maximum speed and then maintains this speed for the rest of the race, what acceleration is required if her total time is 11 seconds?
