A cyclist moves with a speed 2 m/s, then
accelerates at 1.2 m/s2 after a distance 25m.
Then the final speed of the cyclist is;
8 cm/s
8 m/s
8 m
64 m/s
None of them is correct
Someone standing at the edge of a cliff throws one ball straight up and another ball straight down at the same initial speed. Neglecting air resistance, the ball to hit the ground below the cliff with the greatest speed will be the one initially thrown
a) Upward
b) Downward
c) They will both hit with the same speed.
A rock is thrown from a bridge 21 m above water with an initial speed of 14 m/s. Assuming negligible air resistance, what is the speed that the rock hits the water with, in meters per second?

- A stone is vertically thrown upward at 10 m/s. (a) How long will it take the stone to return to the point of release? (b) What will its velocity be when it hits the thrower's hand? (c) How high will it rise?arrow_forwardIn the absence of air resistance, if a ball is thrown vertically upward with a certain initial speed, on returning to its original level it will have the same speed. When air resistance is a factor, will the ball be moving faster, the same, or more slowly than its throwing speed when it gets back to the same level? Why? (Physicists often use a “principle of exaggeration” to help them analyze a problem. Consider the exaggerated case of a feather, not a ball, because the effect of air resistance on the feather is more pronounced and therefore easier to visualize.)arrow_forwardA baseball is thrown vertically upward with an initial velocity of 9 m/s.
