A student performs an experiment to determine the distance moved and velocity of a projectile as a function of time. A 1.00-kg object is initially at rest. The student applies a force of 19.6 N through a distance of 0.50 m to propel the object straight upward. It has an initial speed v and reaches a peak height h above the launch point. What is the average acceleration of the object from rest to v?

A man pushes an object to the right and exerts a force which has a horizontal compotent of F = 33 N. A horizontal frictional force has a magnitude of f = 15 N which opposed the horizontal component of the fushing force. The mass of the object is m = 31 kg. Write an expression for the magnitude of the acceleration of the object. If the object starts at rest what is the speed in meters per second at t = 2.00s? If the man stops pushing the object at t = 2.00s and the firctional force is constant what is the distance in meters does to object slide before coming to a rest?
While standing at the edge of the roof of a building, a man throws a stone upward with an initial speed of 6.71 m/s. The stone subsequently falls to the ground, which is 16.7 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: S

A small rocket is launched straight up. When at a height of 5.0km and velocity of 200.0m/s, it releases its booster and enters free fall. Neglecting air friction, what is the velocity of the rocket at a height of 6.0km on its way up? 143m/s 200m/s 244m/s 397m/s
A test rocket is fired vertically upward from a well. A catapult gives it initial speed 60 m/s at ground level. Its engines then fire and it accelerates upward at 5.0 m/s² until it reaches an altitude of 1,100 m. At that point its engines fail and the rocket goes into free-fall, with an acceleration of g=9.80 m/s². What is its velocity just before it collides with the Earth? (You will need to consider the motion while the engine is operating separately from the free-fall motion.) [Give your answer in m/s to the nearest 0.1 m/s]
A baseball player throws a baseball straight up into the air, in the following way: Starting from a height of 1.0 m above the ground, he accelerates the ball vertically with 30. m/s2 for 0.25 s, then the ball leaves his hand and flies straight up in free fall. Let’s ignore the air resistance. Draw a carefully labeled sketch of the situation. Calculate the velocity of the ball as it leaves the player’s hand. How high does the ball go relative to its initial position (yo=1.0 m)? Shows all work please.
You throw a 19.6-N rock vertically into the air from ground level. You observe that when it is 10.0 m above the ground, it is traveling at 20.0 m/s upward. What is the rock's initial speed as it left the ground? 32.4 m/s O 14.0 m/s 24.4 m/s 30.4 m/s O 17.3 m/s
A rocket-powered hockey puck moves on a horizontal frictionless table. The figure shows the graphs of vx and vy, the x- and y-components of the puck’s velocity. The puck starts at the origin. What is the magnitude of the puck’s acceleration at t = 5 s?
A student launches a small rocket which starts from rest at ground level. At a height h=1.04km, the rocket reaches a speed of vf=391m/s. At that height, the rocket runs out of fuel, so there is no longer any thrust propelling it. After the rocket's engine turns off at a height of h=1.04km, it continues to move upward due to the velocity that it reached. What is the rocket's acceleration, in meters per squared second, during the period from engine shutoff until it returns to the ground? Ignore air resistance.
Chapter 06, Problem 85 Your answer is partially correct. Try again. A water slide is constructed so that swimmers, starting from rest at the top of the slide, leave the end of the slide traveling horizontally. As the drawing shows, one person hits the water 5.00 m from the end of the slide in a time of 0.454 s after leaving the slide. Ignore friction and air resistance, find the height H in the drawing. Water slide H. 5.00 m Number Units 8.404
