Suppose a person drops 20.0 m (about 5 floors) from a burning building and onto an air bag. (a) What will be the person's maximum speed during their fall?
(b) Repeat for a drop of 40.0 m.
A startled armadillo leaps upward, rising 0.586 m in the first 0.204 s. (a) What is its initial speed as it leaves the ground? (b) What is its speed at the height of 0.586 m? (c) How much higher does it go? Use g=9.81 m/s2.
A ball is dropped (from rest) from a window and hits the ground with a speed of 7.0m/s.
If the ball were dropped from double the height, what would be its speed (in m/s) when it hits the ground?
