  • Collision
    motion2_4 The two bodies, whose initial distance is 240 m, move evenly against each other consistently. The first body has an initial velocity of 4 m/s and an acceleration of 3 m/s2, the second body has an initial speed of 6 m/s and an acceleration of 2 m/s2. Fin
  • Brakes
    pneu The braking efficiency of a passenger car is required to stop at 12.5 m at an initial speed of 40 km/h. What is the acceleration braking by brakes?
  • Abyss
    Mountain Stone was pushed into the abyss: 2 seconds after we heard hitting the bottom. How deep is the abyss (neglecting air resistance)? (gravitational acceleration g = 9.81 m/s2 and the speed of sound in air v = 343 m/s)
  • Train speed
    train_freight_7 The train speed is decreased during 50 sec from 72 km/h to 36 km/h. Assuming that the train movement is equally slowing, find the the acceleration and the distance that it travels at.
