A person on the top of a roof of a building (100 m) drops a ball. After 2s passed, a person who stands at the base of the same building throws a separate ball in the upward direction with a speed of 20 m/s. Assumes the two balls are traveling on the same vertical path. Will the two balls collide with each other? If so, what are their velocities as they collide with each other?
1. The nearest grocery is 60 m, east from your house. You are walking at 1.2 m/s for 15.0 s toward the grocery when it started to rain and you ran back to your house to get an umbrella. It took you another 5.0 s to go back to your house. You start walking again at 1.2 m/s until you reach the grocery. (a) What is your average speed? (b) What is your average velocity?
2. An archer standing on the back of a pickup truck moving at 28 m/s fires an arrow straight up at a duck flying directly overhead. He misses the duck. The arrow was fired with an initial vertical velocity of 49 m/s relative to the truck. (a) For how many seconds will the arrow be in the air? (b) How far will the truck travel while the arrow is in the air? (c) Where, in relation to the archer, will the arrow come down? (Ignore air friction.) Will the archer have to "duck"? Explain.

1. A projectile remains in the air for 6.00 s after it is fired. The horizontal component of its velocity is 100 m/s. (a) How far did it move forward before it hit the ground? (b) How long after firing did it reach the highest point of its path? (c) What was the altitude of the highest point in its path?
Two students are on a balcony 19.5 m above the street. One student throws a ball vertically downward at 16.6 m/s; at the same instant the other student throws a ball vertically upward at the same speed. The second ball just misses the balcony on the way down. (a) What is the difference in their time in air? (b) What is the velocity of each ball as it strikes the ground? (c) How far apart are the balls 0.900 s after they are thrown?
69) A rescue helicopter is hovering over a person whose boat has sunk. One of the rescuers throws a life preserver straight down to the victim with an initial velocity of 1.40 m/s and observes that it takes 1.8 s to reach the water. (a) List the knowns in this problem. (b) How high above the water was the preserver released? Note that the downdraft of the helicopter reduces the effects of air resistance on the falling life preserver, so that an acceleration equal to that of gravity is reasonable.
