- A bet between friends results in a coin toss. If the coin is tossed from a height of 1.3m and had a hang time of 1.7s. What was the initial velocity of the coin? How high did the coin go?
Time which coin is in air during its upward motion is half of the hang time. It is 0.85 s.

- Omar throws a rock down with speed 14 m/s from the top of a tower. The rock hits the ground after 6.8 s. What is the height of the tower? (air resistance is negligible)While standing at the edge of the roof of a building, a man throws a stone upward with an initial speed of 6.61 m/s. The stone subsequently falls to the ground, which is 17.3 m below the point where the stone leaves his hand. At what speed does the stone impact the ground? Ignore air resistance and use ?=9.81 m/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity. A) Impact speed: _________________________ m/s B) How much time is the stone in the air? elapsed time: ____________ sA fox locates rodents under the snow by the slight sounds they make. The fox then leaps straight into the air and burrows its nose into the snow to catch its meal. If a fox jumps up to a height of 77 cm, calculate the speed at which the fox leaves the snow and the amount of time the fox is in the air. Ignore air resistance. speed: time:
