You throw a baseball directly upward at time t=0 at an initial speed of 12.1 m/s. What is the maximum height the ball reaches above where it leaves your hand? Ignore air resistance and take g=9.80 m/s2 At what times does the ball pass through half the maximum height?
While standing at the edge of the roof of a building, a man throws a stone upward with an initial speed of 6.45 m/s. The stone subsequently falls to the ground, which is 20.1 m below the point where the stone leaves his hand. At what speed does the stone impact the ground? Ignore air resistance and use g = 9.81 m/s² for the acceleration due to gravity. impact speed: m/s How much time is the stone in the air? elapsed time:
You are wearing your rocket pack (m = 73 kg) that accelerates upwards at a constant 10.1 m/s?. While preparing to take pictures of the beautiful view, you drop your camera 6.8 seconds after liftoff. 5.7 seconds after you drop the camera, how far are you from the camera? Assume g = 9.81 m/s/s Give your answer in meters to TWO (2) significant figures.
A 1000·kg weather rocket is launched straight up. The rocket motor provides a constant acceleration for 10·s, then the motor stops. The rocket altitude 14·s after launch is 5200·m. You can ignore any effects of air resistance. (a) What was the rocket's acceleration during the first 10·s? m/s2(b) What is the rocket's speed as it passes through a cloud 5200·m above the ground? m/s
An aircraft performs a maneuver called an "aileron roll." During this maneuver, the plane turns like a screw as it maintains a straight flight path, which sets the wings in circular motion. If it takes it 21 s to complete the circle and the wingspan of the plane is 10.6 m, what is the acceleration of the wing tip? Express your answer in m/s².
Cheetahs have the highest top speed of any land animal, but they usually fail in their attempts to catch their prey because their endurance is limited. They can maintain their maximum speed of 30 m/s for only about 15 s before they need to stop.Thomson’s gazelles, their preferred prey, have a lower top speed than cheetahs, but they can maintain this speed for a few minutes. When a cheetah goes after a gazelle, success or failure is a simple matter of kinematics: Is the cheetah’s high speed enough to allow it to reach its prey before the cheetah runs out of steam?The following problem uses realistic data for such a chase.A cheetah has spotted a gazelle. The cheetah leaps into action, reaching its top speed of 30 m/s in a few seconds. At this instant, the gazelle, 160 m from the running cheetah, notices the danger and heads directly away. The gazelle accelerates at 4.5 m/s2 for 6.0 s, then continues running at a constant speed. After reaching its maximum speed, the cheetah can continue…
A lunar lander is making its descent to Moon Base I . The lander descends slowly under the retro-thrust of its descent engine. The engine is cut off when the lander is 5.0 m above the surface and has a downward speed of 0.8 m>s.With the engine off, the lander is in free fall. What is the speed of the lander just before it touches the surface? The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1.6 m/s2.
In researching the forces that act on flying birds, scientists studied the motion of cockatiels' bodies as they fly in horizontal flight. As the birds beat their wings, their bodies move up and down.

When (if ever) is the velocity zero (enter time in s or 'never')?
You and a couple friends have entered a diving competition during your March Break. You will be diving from the 5m (highest) platform at the University of Toronto Varsity Pool. You know that your acceleration while falling will be the acceleration of gravity, 9.81m/s2 , but you’re wondering about the rate at which you’ll be slowing down once you enter the water – and really – will it hurt. Science has shown us that 2 times the acceleration of gravity is exhilarating (like a roller coaster), but at 3 times the acceleration of gravity most people are uncomfortable. You estimate that it will take 0.64s to stop once you enter the water. You and your friends decide to figure out what your acceleration will be before you commit to making the dive.a) What will your acceleration in the water be?b) Will it hurt?
A typical sneeze expels material at a maximum speed of 58.6 m/s. Suppose the material begins inside the nose at rest, 2.00 cm from the nostrils. It has a constant acceleration for the first 0.250 cm and then moves at constant velocity for the remainder of the distance. What is the acceleration as the material moves the first 0.250 cm (0.250 m)?
