Two 47. identical pellet guns are fired simultaneously from the edge of a cliff. These guns impart an initial speed of 30.0 m/s to each pellet. Gun A is fired straight upward, with the pellet going up and then falling back down, eventually hitting the ground beneath the cliff. Gun B is fired straight downward. In the absence of air resistance, how long after pellet B hits the ground does pellet A hit the ground?

47.
identical pellet guns are fired simultaneously from the edge of a cliff.
These guns impart an initial speed of 30.0 m/s to each pellet. Gun A is
fired straight upward, with the pellet going up and then falling back
down, eventually hitting the ground beneath the cliff. Gun B is fired
straight downward. In the absence of air resistance, how long after pellet
B hits the ground does pellet A hit the ground?
48. mmh An astronaut on a distant planet wants to determine its accel-
eration due to gravity. The astronaut throws a rock straight up with a ve-
locity of +15 m/s and measures a time of 20.0 s before the rock returns
to his hand. What is the acceleration (magnitude and direction) due to
gravity on this planet?

52. A ball is thrown straight upward. At 4.00 m above its launch point,
the ball's speed is one-half its launch speed. What maximum height
above its launch point does the ball attain?
53. ssm From her bedroom window a girl drops a water-filled balloon
to the ground, 6.0 m below. If the balloon is released from rest, how long
is it in the air?
