A brick is dropped (zero initial speed) from the roof of abuilding. The brick strikes the ground in 1.90 s. You may ignore airresistance, so the brick is in free fall. How tall, in meters, is the building?
A ball is thrown straight up from ground level. It passes a 2-m-high window. The bottom of the window is 7.5 m off the ground. The time that elapses from when the ball passes the bottom of the window on the way up, to when it passes the top of the window on the way back down is 1.3 s
What is the initial speed?
A brick is dropped from the roof of a tall building. After it has been falling for a few seconds, it falls 41.0 mm in a 1.00-ss time interval.What distance will it fall during the next 1.00 s? Ignore air resistance.
