A man who is on top of a roof of a high building drops a piece of metallic material. A second piece of metallic material is dropped 3.0 seconds later. How far apart (km) are the materials when the second material has reached a speed of 15.0 m/s
A person on the top of a roof of a building (100 m) drops a ball. After 2s passed, a person who stands at the base of the same building throws a separate ball in the upward direction with a speed of 20 m/s. Assumes the two balls are traveling on the same vertical path.
Will the two balls collide with each other?
If so, what are their velocities as they collide with each other?
You throw an object directly up into the air and then catch it when it comes back down. It hits your hand at a speed of 7 m/s on the way down. What was the initial velocity of the ball? Use a kinematic approach.

- A cat is sleeping on the floor in the middle of a 3.0 m wide room when a barking dog enters with a speed of 1.50 m/s. As the dog enters, the cat immediately accelerates at 0.85 m/s2 toward an open window on the opposite side of the room. The dog is a bit startled by the cat and begins to slow down at 0.10 m/s2 as soon as it enters the room. How far is the cat in front of the dog as it leaps through the window?arrow_forwardA juggler throws balls straight up in the air.

One person stands exactly 4.0 m above the other person, and both release and catch the basketballs at the same height above their feet. The basketballs are always caught on their way down. The boy on the main floor releases his basketball with an initial velocity of 25 m/s [up].

- In a local bar, a customer slides an empty beer mug down the slippery counter for a refill. The bartender is momentarily distracted and does not see the mug, which slides off of the counter and strikes the floor 2.11 m from the base of the counter. If the height of the counter is 1.62 m high, what is the magnitude of the velocity of the mug as it left the counter? Your Answer: Answerarrow_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_forwardAn inquisitive physics student and mountain climber climbs a 47.0-m-high cliff that overhangs a calm pool of water.

- An Osprey can fly horizontally (not diving) at a maximum speed of 70.0 km/hr. The bird takes off from rest at the edge of a cliff, heading east, and accelerates at a rate of 1.21 m/s2. The osprey can decelerate at higher rate of 2.43 m/s2. The Osprey can reach top speeds of about 84 mph. When doing so, it does not flap its wings. Rather, it relies on its gravitational force to accelerate it downwards. a. Assuming that it starts from rest, and assuming that drag forces are slim, how long will it take for the osprey to reach its top speed? b. How far does it travel during this time? c. Near the top speed, drag forces become important, and in fact the terminal velocity is determined by the drag force. Assuming that the osprey's body can be modeled as a cylinder, with its cross-sectional area equal to that of a circle with radius of 10 cm, what is the coefficient of drag C for a hawk?arrow_forwardA distance of 90 meters separates two jetskis at Virginia Beach. Starting at rest, the jetskis accelerate at a constant rate of 0.7 m/s² towards each other. Starting at a midpoint between the two jetskis, a porpoise is seen swimming from one jetski to the other at a constant speed of 18 m/s. The porpoise continues swimming back and forth between the jetskis until they crash together. What is the total distance the porpoise travelled? 158.7 You are given the initial velocity Vo, acceleration a and the distance Ay. You have the speed of the porpoise, so you are looking for time.
