QI) A projectile is fired vertically with an initial velocity of 200 m/s.
Calculate the maximum altitude h reached by the projectile and the
time t after firing for it to return to the ground. Neglect air resistance
and take the gravitational acceleration to be constant at 9.8 m/s'.
(Ans. h = 2040 m, t = 40.8 s)
Q2) A ball is thrown vertically upward with an initial speed of
80 ft/sec from the base A of a 50-ft cliff. Determine the distance h by
which the ball clears the top of the cliff and the time t after release
for the ball to land at B. Also, calculate the impact velocity Neglect

Q3) A train which is traveling at 80 mi/hr applies its brakes as it
reaches point A and slows down with a constant deceleration. Its
decreased velocity is observed to be 60 mi/hr as it passes a point 1/2
mile beyond A. A car moving at 50 mi/hr passes point B at the same
instant that the train reaches point A. In an unwise effort to beat the
train to the crossing, the driver "steps on the gas." Calculate the
constant acceleration a that the car must have in order to beat the
train to the crossing by 4 sec and find the velocity v of the car as it
reaches the crossing.
