- A person stands at the edge of a deck that is 40.0 m above the ground and throws a rock straight up that reaches a height of 15 m above the deck. a) With what velocity was it thrown? b)The rock mises the deck on the way down. With what velocity does it hit the ground?arrow_forwardA baseball is thrown upward from the starting point (x and y zero) at an upward velocity component of 20 m/s and a horizontal velocity component of 25 m/s. a) Find the displacement and velocity of the ball after 3s. b) How much time is required to reach the highest point? c) How high above the starting point is it at the highest point? a) How time is taken for the ball to return to it’s original height? b) How far has it travelled horizontally when it reaches it’s original height?arrow_forwardA ball is thrown vertically upward with a speed of +16.0 m/s. (a) How high does it rise? m (b) How long does it take to reach its highest point? (c) How long does the ball take to hit the ground after it reaches its highest point? (d) What is its velocity when it returns to the level from which it started? m/sarrow_forward
- A large boulder is ejected vertically upward from a volcano with an initial speed of 40.8 m/s. Air resistance may be ignored. A) At what time after being ejected is the boulder moving at a speed of 19.0 m/s upward? B) At what time is it moving at a speed 19.0 m/s downward? C) When is the displacement of the boulder from its initial position zero? D) When is the velocity of the boulder zero?arrow_forwardThe question is attachedarrow_forwardAn inquisitive physics student and mountain climber climbs a 51.0-m-high cliff that overhangs a calm pool of water. He throws two stones vertically downward, 1.00 s apart, and observes that they cause a single splash. The first stone has an initial speed of 2.02 m/s. (a) How long after release of the first stone do the two stones hit the water? S (b) What initial velocity must the second stone have if the two stones are to hit the water simultaneously? magnitude m/s direction downward (c) What is the speed of each stone at the instant the two stones hit the water? first stone m/s second stone m/sarrow_forward
- You are on the roof of the physics building, 46.0 m above the ground. Your physics professor, who is 1.80 m tall, is walking alongside the building at a constant speed of 1.20 m/s. (a) If you wish to drop an egg on your professor's head, how far from the building should the professor be when you release the egg? Assume that the egg is in free fall. (b) What is the impact velocity of the egg on the professor’s head?arrow_forwardA man drives a motorcycle off a horizontal roof to a neighboring rooftop to another building. The second roof is 6 meters lower and 10 meters away. Ignoring air resistance, how long is the motorcycle in the air? What is the minimum initial speed needed to reach the other building? What direction is the man's velocity point relative to the horizontal roof just before he lands? Assume initial speed found in earlier answer.arrow_forwardThe basketball bounces straight back up off the ground and reaches a maximum height of 4.00m. a)With what speed did the ball leave the ground? (It is perfectly natural for this to be less than the speed it had before it hit the ground.) The basketball hoop is 3.05 m above the ground. The ball will pass the position of the hoop twice –once on the way up and a second time on the way down. b)Determine the ball's velocity (magnitude and direction) as it reaches the height of the hoop on its way down.arrow_forward
- A ball is thrown upward from roof top, 90 m above the ground. The ball rises, then falls and hits the ground. Ignore air resistance. a) What is the initial velocity of the ball, if it takes the ball 9.4 s to hit the ground? b) What is the maximum height reached by the ball?arrow_forwardA stone is thrown from the top of a building with an initial velocity of 20.0 m/s straightupward. The building is 50.0 m high, and the stone just misses the edge of the roof on its waydown.(a) Determine the time at which the stone reaches its maximum height.(b) Determine the maximum height above the rooftop reached by the stone.(c) Determine the time at which the stone returns to the level of the thrower.(d) Determine the velocity of the stone when it reaches the level of the thrower.(e) Determine the acceleration of the stone at the instant it reaches the maximum height.(f) Determine the velocity and position of the stone at t = 5.00 sarrow_forwardA cargo helicopter, descending steadily at a speed of 3.8 m/s, releases a small package. Let upward be the positive direction for this problem. (a) If the package is 94 m above the ground when it is dropped, how long does it take for the package to reach the ground? (a) What is the initial velocity of the package? How does it compare to that of the helicopter? What is its sign? What about the magnitude and sign of the acceleration? s(b) What is its velocity just before it lands? (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)arrow_forward
