- A student at the top of a building of height h throws one ball upward with a speed of i and then throws a second ball downward with the same initial speed i. Just before it reaches the ground, is the final speed of the ball thrown upward (a) larger, (b) smaller, or (c) the same in magnitude, compared with the final speed of the ball thrown downward?arrow_forwardSasha stands on the ground and tosses a baseball perfectly vertically up to her friend Helge, who catches it by reaching outside the window of his apartment building. She gives the ball an initial speed of vi= 19.7 m/s, and Helge catches it 1.40 s later when it reaches his hands. If Helge were to drop the baseball from rest at this point, what would be its final speed vf when it reaches Sasha’s hands down below? (She catches the ball at the same height from which she tossed it.)For your limit check, investigate what happens to vf as Sasha’s launch speed gets very large (i.e., as vi→∞). This is my question. I am also trying to figure out what formulas I would use to solve it.arrow_forwardAn attacker at the base of a castle wall 3.95 m high throws a rock straight up with speed 8.20 m/s from a height of 1.50 m above the ground.

He tries to reach the roof of a building nearby, at a distance d = 10 m. (a) That building is 10 m shorter than the one where Bond jumps off.

If yes, for what range of q is this possible?arrow_forwardA skier with a mass of 63.0 kg starts from rest and skis down an icy slope that has a length of 53.0 m at an angle of 32 degrees with respect to the horizontal.

- Chapter 06, Problem 85 Your answer is partially correct. Try again. A water slide is constructed so that swimmers, starting from rest at the top of the slide, leave the end of the slide traveling horizontally. As the drawing shows, one person hits the water 5.00 m from the end of the slide in a time of 0.454 s after leaving the slide. Ignore friction and air resistance, find the height H in the drawing. Water slide H. 5.00 m Number Units 8.404arrow_forwardA ball is thrown straight up from the edge of the roof of a building. A second ball is dropped from the roof a time of 1.12 s later. You may ignore air resistance. If the height of the building is 20.4 m, what must the initial speed be of the first ball if both are to hit the ground at the same time? Consider the same situation, but now let the initial speed v0 of the first ball be given and treat the height h of the building as an unknown. What must the height of the building be for both balls to reach the ground at the same time for v0 = 8.50 m/s. If v0 is greater than some value vmax, a value of h does not exist that allows both balls to hit the ground at the same time. Solve for vmax. If v0 is less than some value vmin, a value of h does not exist that allows both balls to hit the ground at the same time. Solve for vmin.arrow_forwardHenrietta is jogging on the sidewalk at 3.05 m>s on the way to her physics class. Bruce realizes that she forgot her bag of bagels, so he runs to the window, which is 38.0 m above the street level and directly above the sidewalk, to throw the bag to her. He throws it horizontally 9.00 s after she has passed below the window, and she catches it on the run. Ignore air resistance. (a) With what initial speed must Bruce throw the bagels so that Henrietta can catch the bag just before it hits the ground? (b) Where is Henrietta when she catches the bagels?arrow_forward
