A glider is gliding through the air at a height of 416 meters with a speed of 45.2 m/s. The glider

There's not enough information to find an answer.

I think the idea here is that in descending (416 - 278) = 138 meters,
the glider gives up some gravitational potential energy, which
becomes kinetic energy at the lower altitude. This is all well and
good, but we can't calculate the difference in potential energy
without knowing the mass of the glider.

A 4 kg and 6 kg bowling ball are dropped from the same height at the same time. The two balls strike the ground at the same time

Ray Of Light [21]

The force of gravity on objects is proportional to the mass of each object.

(That's a big part of the reason why, when you eat more and your mass
increases, you weigh more.)

The forces of gravity between the Earth and the 6kg ball are 50% greater
than the forces of gravity between the Earth and the 4kg ball.

(The gravitational forces between the 4kg ball and the 6kg ball, or between
both bowling balls and you, are so small that they may be ignored.)

What is the acceleration experienced by a car that takes 10s to reach 27m/s from rest

Lerok [7]

|acceleration| = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

Change in the car's speed = (27 - 0) = 27 m/s
Time for the change = 10 sec

|acceleration| = (27 m/s) / (10 s) = 2.7 m/s² .

That's the magnitude of the car's acceleration.
We don't know anything about its direction.
