Question

You throw a rock off of a cliff in the horizontal direction with a velocity, v. One second later you throw an identical rock with the same
velocity, v, in the horizontal direction.
What is true about the distance between the two rocks beginning after you throw the second one?
Whether the distance between the rocks will increase or decrease depends on the velocity v with which they are thrown.
> The distance between the rocks will increase as time passes.
It depends on the height of the cliff.
The distance between the rocks will stay the same as time passes.
It cannot be determined.
The distance between the rocks will decrease as time passes.

You can perform a popular trick by dropping any peso bill (Ex. 500 peso bill )lengthwise through the thumb and forefinger of a classmate. Tell your classmate to grab the peso bill as fast as possible and he/she can keep the money if he/she catches it. The length of the peso bill is 15.7 cm and the average human reaction time is about 0.20 s. Will your classmate catch the bill and keep the money?

Two locomotives 70 kilometers apart are travelling on the same track towards each other, Engine A moves at 22 kilometers per hour east and engine B moves at 13 kilometersper hour west. At the instant both trains begin moving, an annoying mutant fly beginsflying from engine A towards engine B at 33 kilometers per hour . The instant it touchesB, it turns around and flies back. It goes on this way until the two locomotives collideand the mutant fly is finally squashed. So, before its untimely demise, a) what is the total distance the fly flew? b) the time it took till it was eliminated and c) the average velocity of the fly? how can i find this please

A man in the back row of 1510 of a theatre wishes to hit a statue in front of the theatre screen with a ball. The statue stands 2 meters tall and the baller is sitting in an elevated seat, 10 meters above the floor the statue stands on. The horizontal distance from the spit baller to the statue is 10 meters. The time of flight of the spit ball is 0.6 seconds given an initial ball speed of 15m/s. Find the velocity of the ball when it is fired.
two friend 50m apart are walking towards each other in a straight road. Man A is walking at a speed of 0.25m/s while the Man B is walking at 0.8m/s. If a pigeon above man A flies towards man B at a constant speed of 5 m/s and flies back again to man A when it is above man B. This goes on until two friends meet. Assuming that there is no speed loss every time the pigeon changes its direction. Determine the total distance that the pigeon flew?
15. Your car is traveling behind a jeep. Both are moving at the same speed, so the velocity of the jeep relative to you is zero. A spare tire is strapped to the back of the jeep. Suddenly the strap brcaks, and the tire falls off the jeep. Will your car hit the spare tire before the tire hits the road? Assume that air resistance is absent. (a) Yes. As long as the car doesn't slow down, it will hit the tire. (b) No. The car will not hit the tire before the tire hits the ground, no matter how close you are to the jeep. (c) If the tire falls from a great enough height, the car will hit the tire. (d) If the car is far enough behind the jeep, the car will not hit the tire. 16. The drawing shows two cars traveling in different directions with different speeds. Their velocities are: VAG = velocity of car A relative to the Ground = 27.0 m/s, due east VuG = velocity of car B relative to the Ground = 21.0 m/s, due north The passenger of car B looks out the window and sees car A.

Car A was traveling east at high speed when it collided at point O with car B , which was traveling north at 45 mi/h. Car C , which was traveling west at 60 mi/h, was 32 ft east and 10 ft north of point O at the time of the collision. Because the pavement was wet, the driver of car C could not prevent his car from sliding into the other two cars, and the three cars, stuck together, kept sliding until they hit the utility pole p. Knowing that the weights of cars A, B, and C are, respectively, 3000 lb, 2600 lb, and 2400 lb, and neglecting the forces exerted on the cars by the wet pavement, solve the problems indicated.Knowing that the coordinates of the utility pole are xp= 46 ft and yp = 59 ft, determine (a) the time elapsed from the first collision to the stop at P,(b) the speed of car A.
