As you are headed to class, your friend leans out the window of your apartment 10 m above you and shouts that you took her car keys rather than your own. Since you are in a hurry, you decide to toss your friend's keys up to her while she drops your keys down to you.You throw the keys just hard enough to reach her outstretched hand. At what height above you will the two sets of keys pass each other?

A group of students celebrate their first year of medical school with a hot-air balloon ride, which is rising upward with a constant speed of 3.0 m/s. When the balloon is 3.50 m above the ground, one of the students who is taking a selfie with the other students accidentally drops her smart phone over the side of the balloon (fortunately with a OtterBox case). With what speed would the phone hit the ground in m/s? Note that the displacement of the phone dropping 3.50 m would be - 3.50 m. For the same situation as Question 9, how long in seconds would the smart phone be in the air before it hits the ground?
Determine the braking distance of car A and B.
student throws a heavy red ball horizontally from a balcony of a tall building with aninitial speed v0. At the same time, a second student throws a lighter blue ball horizontally fromthe same balcony with an initial speed v0 /2. Ignoring air resistance, which of the followingstatements must be true?a. The red ball hits the ground with the greater speed.b. Both balls hit the ground with the same vertical velocity component.c. Both balls hit the ground with the same angle of impactd. The balls reach the ground at the same instant. More than one of the statements can be true.
At the top of a cliff 98 m high, Raoul throws a rock upward with velocity 29 m/s. How much later should he drop a second rock from rest so both rocks arrive simultaneously at the bottom of the cliff?
A cannon sits upon a cliff on VENUS. It fires a small mallard at some unknown angle. ASSUME: The cannon has a muzzle velocity of 37 m/s The cannon has a range of 96 meters The cliff is 8 meters above the ground The mallard takes 8 seconds to travel to the ground The acceleration due to gravity on VENUS is constant but is unknown. DETERMINE: The acceleration due to gravity on VENUS.
Playing jackstone as a kid, you discovered that there is a certain time before the rubber ball falls and you took advantage of this when picking up the stars on the floor. If you threw the ball 2.54m/s up into the air, how fast will it be moving at a height of 15.05cm? How much time has elapsed upon reaching this height?
Alicia throws a red ball straight up into the air, releasing it with velocity vo. As she is throwing it, you happen to pass by in an elevator that is rising with constant velocity vo. At the exact instant Alicia releases her ball, you can reach out of the elevator’s window( this is very fancy elevator!) and gently release a blue ball. Both balls are the same height above the ground at the moment they released. Describe the motion of the two balls as Alicia sees them from the ground. In what ways are the motion of the red ball and the blue ball the same or different?
Anna, driving at 40.0 m/s, enters a one-lane tunnel. She then observes a slow-moving van 205 m ahead traveling at 6.00 m/s. Anna applies her brakes but can accelerate only at -2.50 m/s2 because the road is wet. Will there be a collision? State how you decide. If yes, determine how far into the tunnel and at what time the collision occurs. If no, determine the distance of closest approach between Margareth’s car and the van.
A distance of 60 meters separates two jetskis at Virginia Beach. Starting at rest, the jetskis accelerate at a constant rate of 0.2 m/s2 towards each other.Starting at a midpoint between the two jetskis, a porpoise is seen swimming from one jetski to the other at a constant speed of 16 m/s. The porpoise continues swimming back and forth between the jetskis until they crash together.a) What is the total distance the porpoise travelled? b) what is the speed of the jetskis when they crash together?
Two objects, A and B, are thrown up at the same moment of time from the same level (from the ground). Object A has initial velocity 10.8 m/s; object B has initial velocity 17.4 m/s. How high above the ground is object B at the moment when object A hits the ground? Need help with this question, thank you!
A firework is launched with an initial velocity of 30 m/s at an angle of 65 degrees with respect to the horizontal. The peak height of the firework, just before it explodes. b. The vertical component of the firework’s velocity, just as it reaches the peak of its motion and explodes. c. The horizontal distance traveled by the firework, just as it reaches the peak of its motion and explodes.
Two people each kick identical balls at the same angle. Person A kicks it at three times the speed of person B. How many times higher does A's ball go than B's?
