Question 12Napoleon fires a warning shot out of his handgun. If the bullet leavesthe gun with an initial speed of 472 m/s and travels straight upward,how much time in seconds does the person firing the gun have tomove out of the way before the bullet hits the ground? (Ignore theeffects of air resistance.)Answer:

A motorcycle starts at t = 0 from rest at x = 0 (the origin) and moves along a straight path (x-axis) with an acceleration of +2.8 m/s2. After travelling for 140 m, the rider slows down the motorcycle at 1.2 m/s2 (still going forward along the path) until its velocity is 16 m/s. At that point, he sees/hits a tree.(a) Find the velocity and the time when the motorcycle reaches x = 140 m.(b) How much time and how far does it take the rider to slow down the motorcycle from its velocity at x = 140 m to its final velocity of 16 m/s?(c) Hence, find the distance between the origin and the tree.(d) Sketch a well-labelled velocity-time graph from t = 0 to the time that the rider reaches the tree. Point out a relation between the graph and the answer in part (c)

At the same moment from the top of a building 3.0 × 10^2 m tall, one rock is droppedand one is thrown downward with an initial velocity of 10 m/s. Both of them experience negligible air resistance. How much EARLIER does the thrown rock strike the ground?
A cannonball is fired at 171 (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 636 (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)
Two students are on a balcony 19.5 m above the street. One student throws a ball vertically downward at 16.6 m/s; at the same instant the other student throws a ball vertically upward at the same speed. The second ball just misses the balcony on the way down. (a) What is the difference in their time in air? (b) What is the velocity of each ball as it strikes the ground? (c) How far apart are the balls 0.900 s after they are thrown?
An elevator without a ceiling is ascending with a constant speed of 10 m/s. a boy on the elevator throws a ball directly upward, from a height of 2.0 m above the elevator floor, just as a elevator floor is 28 m above the ground. The initial speed of the ball with respect to the elevator is 20 m/s. How long (in seconds) does the ball take to return to the elevator floor?
In 1948 United States Air Force pilot Gail halvorsen became known as the Berlin Candy Bomber when he began dropping candy bars and Bubblegum to the children of Berlin. If he was flying with a forward velocity of 100 meters per second at a low altitude of 1000 m how far from the Berlin Wall would he have to release the candy so that it would land in the city?
An object is thrown vertically upwards by a person’s hands. While it is in contact with their hand, the object has an acceleration of ?=(2.00t^2+12.0t) m/s^2, with an initial velocity of zero. It is in contact with the person’s hands for 1.2 s. How high above the point of release does this object go? Ignore the air resistance and height change due to the motion of the hand.
