A steel ball is thrown up from the top of a tower of height 125 m with a velocity of 90 m/s . While coming down, it strikes a glass pan, held at half the height of the tower from the ground  and loses 50% of its velocity in breaking the glass. Determine the time taken to reach the maximum height and the velocity with which it will strike the ground and total time taken to reach the ground.  The time taken to reach maximum height in seconds is? The maximum height reached in m is? The time taken by the steel ball from maximum height to the glass pan in seconds  is? The velocity of the steel ball when it  hits the glass pan in m/s  is ? The velocity of the steel ball when it  hits the ground in m/s  is ? The total time taken by the steel ball in seconds is?
An object is thrown into the air with initial velocity v = 5m/s. After being released it is only subject to the acceleration due to gravity a = -9.81m/s2 slowing it down. It will, as you know, eventually stop moving upwards and then begin coming back down towards the person who threw it. At the top most point of its journey, it will be at rest for a brief instant in time. How long from when it was initially thrown until it reaches its highest point in the air?   Please write it out. I can't fully follow along if the solution is typed out
A motorcyclist heading east through a small town accelerates at a constant 4.9 m/s/s after he leaves the city limits (See figure). At time t = 0 s, he is 5.3 m east of the city-limits signpost, moving east at 27 m/s. Where is he when his velocity is = 37 m/s?
