You are on a planet that has an acceleration due to gravity of g = 7.0 m/s² and want to jump safely into the methane lakes below after leaping from a 11.2 meter high-cliff. If there is a ledge right at the bottom of this cliff that you want to avoid, so as to land safely in the liquid methane, that is 1.13 m wide, and assuming your initial velocity is directed entirely along the x-axis, how fast (in m/s) do you need to be running in order to land in the liquid methane?

On the moon, the gravitational acceleration is 1/6 x g of Earth. If you shoot a golf ball on the moon with a launch angle of 25 degrees and an initial velocity of 22 m/s, how high is its peak height? How many times higher did it go than it would have on Earth?

On a planet very similar to Earth, but slightly denser, where acceleration due to gravity is 10 m/s2, a projectile is fire vertically from a height of 100 meters with an initial velocity of 40 m/s. Its position above the ground after t seconds is given by h(t) = 100 + 40t − 5t2 meters. Find the maximum height the projectile attains.
OK, this is the last time for one of these crazy adventures. THIS time, though, there is a window in the floor, and you can see that you re in a rocket which has just taken off from the surface of an alien planet. By taking careful measurements out that window you determine that the rocket is accelerating upward at 9.60 m/s^2. When you drop a ball from a height of 1.20 m, it hits the floor 0.362 s later. What is the value of g for the alien world below you? 16.5 m/s^2 8.7 m/s^2 28.1 m/s^2 18.4 m/s^2
At a particular instant, a hot air balloon is 50.3 m above a horizontal field and descending at a rate of 3.5 m/s. At this instant, a girl throws a ball horizontally (relative to herself) with an a speed of 12.3 m/s. When the balloon lands on the ground, how far is she from where the ball landed? Express your answer in meters and neglect air resistance.
You are going on an outing, and you are driving your car at 25m/s when you need to quickly reduce the car's speed to 12m/s to round a curve in a highway going to Mabini. If the deceleration has a magnitude of 8m/s^2, how far does your car travel while reducing the speed? And what is the time needed to round the curve?
Suppose you are an intrepid interplanetary explorer and you've landed on the remote planet, Gorzag. Your task is to determine the free-fall acceleration on the surface of Gorzag, which has no atmosphere. All you have is a space rock, a stop watch, and a laser range finder (a tool to measure distance). You find a nearby cliff and make the following measurements: the height of the cliff is 55m, and when you drop the rock off the cliff it takes 40s for the rock to hit the ground below. Show your work.

The gravitational acceleration on Mars is nearly 3.8 m/s2. Air resistance is negligible. You are standing on top of a cliff and dropping a briefcase wrench. Choosing the positive direction to be up, and the point t=0 to be the moment when you drop the key, please answer the following questions paying particular attention to the signs.(a) What is the function expressing the velocity (directional speed) of the key? v(t)=
Imagine that you are in a car that is traveling up a bridge that is inclined at an angle of 8.5 degrees from the horizontal. The car's speed is 51.0 mi/hr (22.80 m/s). At time t = 0 you open your window and illegally drop a soda can from your rest frame over the edge of the bridge. Your height above ground level is 93.0 m At what angle does the can strike the ground (in degrees)? This is the angle which the can's velocity vector makes with the horizontal just before hitting the ground. What is the speed of the can just before it hits the ground?
Make a motion chart for a cannonball launched with an initial speed of 20m/s. Neglect drag and the initial height of the cannonball. After the ball lands on the ground enter zero for all speeds and heights if necessary. Use regular metric units (ie. meters).
