Question A1
An object slides off a frictionless, horizontal table from a height of 1.40 m above the floor. It
strikes the floor a distance of 1.88 m from the base of the table.
a) Calculate the speed with which the object leaves the table.
b)
Calculate the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the object just before it strikes the floor.
A roof worker loses his grip on his box of tools while working on a tall house. His box
slides down the roof. The roof is angled at 29 degrees with the horizontal. The roof is
made of a frictionless material. The box travels 5 m down the roof and then leaves
the edge of it 12 m above the ground.
a). Figure out the box's velocity as it leaves the house's roof?
b). How far from the base of the house does the box hit the ground?
c). By how much does the box clear the yard fence which is 1.8m tall and located

When the elevator is 40 meters above ground level, her friend, standing at ground level, tosses a wrench straight upward with an initial speed of 25 m/s. Take the time when the wrench is tossed as t = 0. For this problem, use g = 10 m/s². a. Draw a labeled picture with symbols and all relevant values. Quantities that are different should be given different symbols, for example y, and Yw. b. Graph the velocities versus time of the elevator and the wrench on the same graph.
