Question

Q2. The Physics Quidditch team is competing against the Chemistry Quidditch team. The Chemistry team all ride Cleansweep Elevens, which can accelerate from 0 to 113 km/h in 10s. a. What is the maximum acceleration achievable on the Cleansweep Eleven? b. You are sticking really close to the Chemistry Seeker and you are both stationary when you see the snitch hovering 100m away. Obviously you, as the Physics Seeker reach the snitch first and win the game. How much time elapses before the Chemistry Seeker reaches you and the snitch? c. The disgruntled Chemistry Seeker (illegally) curses your broom causing you to tumble headlong to the ground from a height of 50m. Assuming no air resistance, how long will your plummet take? How fast is your body traveling as it crashes onto the Quidditch pitch? (Don’t worry, your wounds aren’t life-threatening, and you already won the game… also, magic.) d. One screaming physics fan is so excited by your win that they throw their souvenir snitch straight up in the air and catch it 3 seconds later. How high does this physics fan toss their snitch and what is its velocity when it’s caught ag
