11. You are designing an airport for small planes. One kind of airplane that might use this airfield must reach a speed
before takes-off of at least 27.8 m/s (100 km/h), and can accelerate at 2.00 m/s2. a.) If the runway is 150 m long, can
this airplane reach the proper speed to take-off? b.) If not, what minimum length must the runway have?
12. How long does it take a car to cross a 30.0 m wide intersection after the light turns green, if it accelerates from rest
at a constant 2.00 m/s2?

b.) the maximum height reached c.) the position and velocity of the ball after 3 s after it was thrown d.) the time it
takes for the ball to return to the same level after it was thrown
14. A ball is thrown horizontally off a 60 m high building. The ball hits the ground at a distance of 15 m from the base of
the building. Assume that air resistance is negligible.
a. What is the initial horizontal speed of the ball?
b. How much time will it take the ball to hit the ground?
c. How much time will take the ball to hit the ground if it is thrown horizontally with four times its original
speed?
