1. A student writes on the board "A bird is diving straight down (no horizontal motion) at a rate of -10 m/s when it catches its prey". The negative sign could mean that the bird is flying backward very fast, seems impossible for that given rate. Is the student wrong or not? What has the student actually described for the negative sign? Explain your answer.

A person standing 28 m from the base of a vertical cliff throws a ball with a speed of 38 m/s aimed directly at a point 6 m above the base of the cliff. a) How long does it take the ball to reach the cliff? tend = Help Enter b) Neglecting air resistance, find the height on the cliff (measured from the release point) at which the ball hits. H = Help Enter c) How fast is the ball moving when it reaches the cliff? Vend = m/s Help Enter d) At what time would the ball reach its maximum vertical height? Note: Depending on the random numbers generated in this problem, the ball may hit the cliff before it actually reaches this height. yma = Help Enter e) At what horizontal distance from the person would the ball reach its maximum height?
