Water drops fall from the edge of a roof at a steady rate. A fifth drop starts to fall just as the first drop hits the ground. At this instant, the second and third drops are exactly at the bottom and top edges of a 130.-cm-tall window. How high (in m) is the edge of the roof?
You attach a meter stick to an oak tree, such that the top of the meter stick is 2.072 meters above the ground. Later, an acorn falls from somewhere higher up in the tree. If the acorn takes 0.151 seconds to pass the length of the meter stick, how high ℎ0above the ground was the acorn before it fell, assuming that the acorn did not run into any branches or leaves on the way down?
A student standing on the ground throws a ball straight up. The ball leaves the student's hand with a speed of 11.0 m/sm/s when the hand is 2.10 mm above the ground
How long is the ball in the air before it hits the ground? (The student moves her hand out of the way.)
