Jane's brother Andrew leaves home for school at 8:00 am. He walks at 3.6 kph. At 8:20 am Jane discovers that Andrew has left his homework at home. She decides to follow him on her bicycle and give him his homework, but she wants to be back home in time for an online test at 9 am. What is the minimum constant speed at which she needs to ride? (Hint: At what time of day will they meet?) Jane must ride at least kph.

A 0.26-kg rock is thrown vertically upward from the top of a cliff that is 32 m high. When it hits the ground at the base of the cliff, the rock has a speed of 31 m/s. A) Assuming that air resistance can be ignored, find the initial speed of the rock. Express your answer using two significant figures. B) Find the greatest height of the rock as measured from the base of the cliff. Express your answer using two significant figures.

So this is the problem I am trying to figure out: A boy tosses a coin straight up to 2.2 m. Suppose the height when the coin leaves his hand is 1.3 m. What was the initial speed of the coin when it left his hand?
An object is thrown upwards from the ground level at a speed of 58m/s. It travels upwards to the highest point of its path and then falls back to the ground.

While standing at the edge of the roof of a building, a man throws a stone upward with an initial speed of 7.00 m/s. The stone subsequently falls to the ground, which is 14 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/s for the acceleration due to gravity. (See the diagram below.) Vyi = = 7.00 m/s- Stone. 14.0 m Vyf a. 15 m/s b. 12 m/s c. 21 m/s d. 24 m/s e. 18 m/s
The fishing boat was moving on a river. The paddle fell into the water as it crossed the bridge. After an hour, the fisherman notices the disappearance of the paddle and turns back, finding his paddle 6 km below the bridge. How fast is the river? (Suppose the speed of the (fisherman is the same in the opposite direction of the water
As a city planner, you receive complaints from local residents about the safety of nearby roads and streets. One complaint concerns a stop sign at the corner of Pine Street and 1st Street. Residents complain that the speed limit in the area (55 mph) is too high to allow vehicles to stop in time. Under normal conditions this is not a problem, but when fog rolls in visibility can reduce to only 155 ft. Since fog is a common occurrence in this region, you decide to investigate. The state highway department states that the effective coefficient of friction between a rolling wheel and asphalt ranges between 0.689 and 0.770, whereas the effective coefficient of friction between a skidding (locked) wheel and asphalt ranges between 0.450 and 0.617. Vehicles of all types travel on the road, from small VW bugs weighing 1210 lb to large trucks weighing 8640 lb. Considering that some drivers will brake properly when slowing down and others will skid to stop, calculate the minimum and maximum…
