Attempting to run out the clock in a basketball game, a player throws the ball straight up from height yo. An opposing player catches the ball coming down, at the same height. How much time was used up while the ball was in the air?

59. ••The violin is a four-stringed instrument tuned so that the ratio of the frequencies of adjacent strings is 3 to 2. (This is the ratio when taken as high frequency to lower frequency.) If the diameter of the E string (the highest fre- quency) on a violin is 0.25 mm, find the diameters of the remaining strings (A, D, and G), assuming they are tuned to intervals of a perfect fifth, they are made of the same material, and they all have the same tension.
You are traveling in a convertible with the top down. The car is moving at a constant velocity of 14.7 m/sdue east along flat ground. You throw a tomato straight upward at a speed of 6.76 m/s. How far has the car moved when you get a chance to catch the tomato?
A ball is thrown upward from the top of a 24 m tall building. The ball’s initial speed is12 m/s. At the instant, a person is running on the ground at a distance of 31 m fromthe building. What must be the average speed of the person if he is to catch the ballat the bottom of the building?
A rubber ball is shot straight up from the ground at 5.40 m/s. A second rubber ball is simultaneously dropped from rest 1.91 m above the ground. How high above the ground are the balls when they collide?
The smal archerfish Dength 20 to 25 cm) lives in brackish waters of Southeast Asia from India to the Philippines. This aptly named creature captures its prey by shooting a stream of water drops at an insect. either flying or at rest. The bug falls into the water and the fish gobbles it up. The archerfish has high accuracy at distances of 1.2 m to 1.5 m, and it sometimes makes hits at distances up to 3.5 m. A groove in the roof of its mouth, along with a curled tongue, forms a tube that enables the fish to impart high velocity to the water in its mouth when it suddenly closes its gill flaps. Suppose the archerfish shoots at a target that is 2.40 m away, measured along a line at an angle of 30.0° above the horizontal. With what velocity must the water stream be launched if it is not to drop more than 5.00 cm verticaly on its path to the target? 22.65 Your response is within 10% of the correct value. This may
A firework is projected from the level ground in such a way that v0y = 10m/s and v0x = 20 m/s.a) Find the time it takes the firework to reach its maximum height reached.b) Since the firework returns to the ground, it has the same initial and final height. Whenthis happens, the time it takes the object to land is twice the time it takes to reach its maximum height. Using this information, find the horizontal and vertical components of the velocity of the firework right as it lands.
KACTICE ANOTHER Near the end of a marathon race, the first two runners are separated by a distance of 45.0 m. The front runner has a velocity of 3.50 m/s, and the second a velocity of 4.20 m/s. (a) What is the velocity of the second runner relative to the first? m/s faster than the front runner. (b) If the front runner is 250 m from the finish line, who will win the race, assuming they run at constant velocity? O The first runner will win. O The second runner will win.

A cannonball is fired at 180 (m/s), straight up in the air, by accident. Quickly realizing the error, the commanding officer orders the gunners to fire another cannonball straight up to hit the one coming down. In order to be safe, the two cannon balls must explode at a given hight of 814 (m). What is the maximum time (in seconds) the second cannonball can be fired after the first, such that the two cannaballs collide, exploding safely above the regiment? (s) How fast (velocity) will the first cannon ball be traveling just before the collision? (m/s) How fast (velocity) will the second cannon ball be traveling just before the collision? (m/s)
