A ball is thrown down from the top of a building at a height of 60 m at an initial speed of 10m / s, and at the same moment a ball is thrown from the surface of the earth up at a speed of 40m / s What is the height of the distance in which the two balls meet from the surface of the earth
"An object is shot straight up from the ground with an initial velocity of 20m/s. How high above the ground is the object one second after it reaches its maximum height? Neglect air resistance." I got the maxiumum height of 20.41 m but I used it into the y(t) = y0 + v0t - 1/2gt^2 equation and I don't think I got it right :(

*59. ssm Consult Multiple-Concept Example 8 to explore a model for solving this problem. (a) Just for fun, a person jumps from rest from the top of a tall cliff overlooking a lake. In falling through a distance H, she acquires a certain speed v. Assuming free-fall conditions, how much farther must she fall in order to acquire a speed of 2v? Express your answer in terms of H. (b) Would the answer to part (a) be different if this event were to occur on another planet where the acceleration due to gravity had a value other than 9.80 m/s²°? Explain.
A person can survive a feet-first impact at a speed of about 12 m/s (27 mi/h) on concrete; 15 m/s (34 mi/h) on soil; and 34 m/s (76 mi/h) on water. Why the different values for different surfaces?
Sometime in the future, we will develop a space ship which can go up to half the speed of light. On a flight to the nearest star which is 4.2 light years away, we will keep the acceleration up to one g. How long will the trip take? (The trip will have three sections, the first accelerating up to maximum speed, the second at constant speed, and the third decelerating at - g to rest at the destination.)
An ultrasound doppler meter is used to detect motion for an alarm system. The unit emits an ultrasound signal and its echo is detected back at the same unit. If the unit emits a frequency of 100 MHz and is only able to detect a change in frequency of the reflected sound greater than 8.0 kHz, what is the maximum speed that an intruder can travel at relative to the unit whilst remaining undetected?

When a ball is thrown straight up, by how much does its speed change each second? Neglect air resistance. O Decreases by 9.81 m/s every second. Increases by 9.81 m/s every second. O Remains at a constant velocity of 9.81 m/s every second. Its speed doesn't change at all.
An attacker at the base of a castle wall 4 m high throws a rock straight up with speed 7.5 m/s from a height of 1.5 m above the ground.(a) Will the rock exceed the top of the wall?(b) If so, what is its speed when it reaches the top of the wall? (c) If we don’t want the stone to exceed the top of the wall (we want the top of the wall to be the maximum height) what the initial speed that the stone must have?
