A tennis player tosses a tennis ball straight up and
then catches it after 2.00 s at the same height as the
point of release.
(a) What is the acceleration of the ball while it is in
flight?
(b) What is the velocity of the ball when it reaches
its maximum height?
(c) Find the initial velocity of the ball.
(d)Find the maximum height it reaches.
Two children are playing on two trampolines. The first child bounces up one-and-a-half times higher than the second child. The initial speed up of the second child is 4.0 m/s(a) Find the maximum height the second child reaches.
(b) What is the initial speed of the first child?
(c) How long was the first child in the air?
The 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.
