Bob has just finished climbing a sheer cliff above a beach and wants to figure out how high he climbed. All he has to use, however, is a baseball, a stopwatch, and a friend on the ground with a long measuring tape. Bob is a pitcher, and knows that the fastest he can throw the ball is v0 = 81.0 mph. Bob starts the stopwatch as he throws the ball (with no way to measure the ball's initial trajectory) and watches carefully. The ball rises and then falls, and after t₁ = 0.710 s, the ball is once again level with Bob. Bob cannot see well enough to time when the ball hits the ground. Bob's friend then measures that the ball landed a distance of x = 365 ft from the base of the cliff. How high up is Bob if the ball started from exactly 5 ft above the edge of the cliff? Vo height of the cliff: 5 ft

Archibald, an aging geezer, is out bicycling one fine afternoon, reliving his glorious youth and oblivious to the world around him. As he approaches a busy intersection, a police officer directing traffic blows his whistle to get Archie’s attention so he’ll slow down and stop. But Archie doesn’t stop; he just speeds right through the intersection as if the traffic cop wasn’t even there. The cop radios one of his colleagues and gets her to stop the old geezer. She gives him a traffic citation for failing to heed the command of a police officer directing traffic. When the case gets to traffic court, Archie explains to the judge that he didn’t hear the officer’s whistle because he is going deaf and cannot hear frequencies above 3000 Hz. The traffic cop informs the judge that his standard issue police whistle emits a frequency of 2100 Hz and he has a certificate to prove it. Thinking quickly (at least for an old geezer) Archie says that it may be true that the police whistle emits a sound…
