Chapter 2, Problem 101GP
A hot-air balloon has just lifted off and is rising at the constant rate of 2.0 m/s. Suddenly one of the passengers realizes she has left her camera on the ground. A friend picks it up and tosses it straight upward with an initial speed of 13 m/s. If the passenger is 2.5 m above her friend when the camera is tossed, how high is she when the camera reaches her?

How long does it take to hit the ground?
A test rocket is fired vertically upward from a well. A catapult gives it initial speed 60
m/s at ground level. Its engines then fire and it accelerates upward at 5.0 m/s² until
it reaches an altitude of 1,100 m. At that point its engines fail and the rocket goes
into free-fall, with an acceleration of g=9.80 m/s².
What is its velocity just before it collides with the Earth? (You will need to consider
the motion while the engine is operating separately from the free-fall motion.)
[Give your answer in m/s to the nearest 0.1 m/s]
A person on a trampoline bounces straight upward with an initial speed of
4. 50 m/s. Take up as the positive y direction. What is the person's velocity when
she returns to her initial height?
-4. 50 m/s
O-4. 50 ŷ m/s

- In the children's book Nuts to You, a young squirrel named Jed is snatched up by a hawk. While in the air Jed manages to go limp, slip through the hawk's talons and fall to the forest floor. The hawk travels horizontally at a speed of 4.86m/s . (You may neglect any effects of air resistance as you answer the following questions). One second after being released, what is the y-component of Jed's velocity?arrow_forwardTwo friends are tossing balls from the main floor of the auditorium to the balcony. One person stands exactly 4.0 m above the other person, and both release and catch the balls at the same height above their feet. The balls are always caught on their way down. The boy on the main floor releases his ball with an initial velocity of 25 m/s [up]. With what velocity should the girl on the balcony throw her ball at the same moment, so that both balls will be caught by the other person at exactly the same timearrow_forwardA red train traveling at 20 m/s and a green train traveling at 40 m/s are headed toward one another along a straight, level track. When they are 950 m apart, each engineer sees the other's train and applies the breaks. The breaks decelerates each train at the rate of 1 m/s˄2. What is the speed (in m/s) of the green train at impact?arrow_forward
- You wake up in a room with no windows. You drop a ball from a height of 1.79 m and it hits the floor 0.242 s after you drop it. This time you suspect you are on a rocket that has just left the surface of the Earth, and is still not too far above the ground. What do you deduce the rockets acceleration to be? 102.6 m/s^2 51.3 m/s^2 70.9 m/s^2 61.1 m/s^2arrow_forwardA ball is projected vertically up from the floor of a room. The ball experiences air resistance that is proportional to speed of the ball. Just before hitting the ceiling the speed of the ball is 10 m/s and its retardation is 2g. The ball rebounds from the ceiling without any loss of speed and falls on the floor 2s after making impact with the ceiling. How high is the ceiling? Take g = 10 m/s².arrow_forwardA person on the top of a roof of a building (100 m) drops a ball. After 2s passed, a person who stands at the base of the same building throws a separate ball in the upward direction with a speed of 20 m/s.

What is the speed of the box as it left your hand?arrow_forwardWhile exploring the canopy of the rainforest in equatorial South America, Anastasia falls from a branch 35.0 meters high.

It so happens that Superman flies by at the instant you release the watermelon. Superman is headed straight down with a speed of 37.0 m/sm/s.How fast is the watermelon going when it passes Superman?arrow_forwardBob proposed Alice to a marriage on the very top of a 30m building. Alice said yes. Bob then put the ring on Alice’s finger. Alice was very happy. She threw her hands up in the air. Unfortunately, the ring slipped from her finger and fell down due to gravity.Bob set up a camera to record the moment. Thus, he look at the footage and determine that the ring was going out of Alice’s hand with speed of vi =10m/s at an angle of θ=30 . The dimension of the building is given below. (a) If the ring were to land on the terrace, how long would it take?(b) If the ring were to land on the Lawn, how long would it take?(c) Where should Bob search for the ring? Terrace or lawn?
