An aging coyote cannot run fast enough to catch a roadrunner. He purchases on eBay a set of jet-powered roller skates, which provide a constant horizontal acceleration of 15.0 m/s2 (Fig. P3.57). The coyote starts at rest 70.0 m from the edge of a cliff at the instant the roadrunner zips past in the direction of the cliff. (a) Determine the minimum constant speed the roadrunner must have to reach the cliff before the coyote. At the edge of the cliff, the roadrunner escapes by making a sudden turn, while the coyote continues straight ahead. The coyotes skates remain horizontal and continue to operate while he is in flight, so his acceleration while in the air is (15.0i9.80j) m/s2. (b) The cliff is 100 m above the flat floor of the desert. Determine how far from the base of the vertical cliff the coyote lands. (c) Determine the components of the coyotes impact velocity.
Is it possible for velocity to be constant while acceleration is not zero? Explain.
A cricketer throws a ball into the air in vertical motion with an initial speed of 40m/s. Assume acceleration due to gravity is 10m/s2. a) Determine the total upward distance the ball travelled assuming there is no air resistance. b) If the ball travels a total upward distance of 75m with air resistance, determine the additional deceleration due to the air resistance acting on the ball.
A potato is launched vertically upward with an initial velocity of 139 ft/s from a potato gun at the top of an 85-foot-tall building.

(1) Find the velocity of the potato after 0.5 s ft/s (ii) Find the speed of the potato at 0.5 s ft/s (iii) Determine when the potato reaches its maximum height%3D (tv) Find the acceleration of the potato at 0.5 s ft/s²
8) At a certain instant, a ball is thrown downward with a velocity of 8.0 m/s from a height of 40 m.

My question tells me that one stone falls from a cliff, a second one is thrown 3 seconds later, and they both hit the ground at the same time. Initial velocity for 1) 0m/s 2) 58.8m/s Time for 1) t 2) t+3 If I'm trying to solve for the time stone 1 took to hit the ground, shouldn't height (distance) be equal for both? The only difference is their initial velocities and time difference (i.e. t=3) I set both "change in position"-to-"constant acceleration" equations equal to each other, solved for t, and got 2.86 seconds
