A hot air balloon has just lifted off and is rising at a constant rate of 2.0 m/s. Suddenly one of the
passengers realizes she has left her camera on the ground. A friend picks it up and tosses it straight
upward with an initial speed of 12 m/s. If the passenger is 2.5 m above her friend when the camera is
tossed, how high is she above her friend when the camera reaches he ?
A juggler throws a bowling pin straight up with an initial speed of 3.2 m/s from an initial height of 2 m. How much time elapses until the bowling pin returns to the same initial height?
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.

- Frogs, with their long, strong legs, are excellent jumpers. And thanks to the good folks of Calaveras County, California, who have a jumping frog contest every year in honor of a Mark Twain story, we have very good data as to just how far a determined frog can jump. The current record holder is Rosie the Ribeter, a bullfrog that made a leap of 2.2 m from a standing start. This compares favorably with the world record for a human, which is a mere 3.7 m. Typical data for a serious leap by a bullfrog look like this: The frog goes into a crouch, then rapidly extends its legs by 15 cm as it pushes off, leaving the ground at an angle of 30° to the horizontal. It’s in the air for 0.49 s before landing at the same height from which it took off. Given this leap, what is the acceleration while the frog is pushing off? How far does the frog jump?arrow_forwardA juggler throws a bowling pin straight up with an initial speed of 6.1 m/s from an initial height of 2.8 m.

- A dancing policeman performs a stunt by tossing his cap vertically upward with an initial speed of 10 m/s and falls back to his head on its way down. How long will it take the cap to reach the highest point of its path?arrow_forwardCan someone please show step by step solution? Thanksarrow_forwardAn 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_forward

Assume that the diver's motion is essentially vertiacal. He leaves the board, which is 3.0m above the water, with a speed of 6.3m/s. (A) How long is the diver in the air, from the moment he leaves the board until he reaches the water? (B) What is the speed of the diver when he reaches water?arrow_forward
- Dong and Rigo are playing their slingshot, both of them shot a pebble vertically upward. Rigo shot after Dong, but while the Dong’s pebble is still on its way up. The initial speeds are such that both pebbles reach their maximum height at the same instant, although these heights are different. Suppose that the initial speed of the Dong’s pebble is 40.6 m/s and that Rigo’s pebble is shot 1.25s after Dong’s, determined the initial velocity of the Rigo’s pebble.arrow_forwardrocket, on an unknown planet, launches straight upward. Starting from rest, the rocket accelerates until it reaches 25 m/s then maintains that velocity until its boosters shut off. It eventually falls back to the planet. ASSUME: Starting at t = 0, the rocket accelerates upwards a total distance of 10 m, where it reaches an instantaneous velocity of 25 m/s The moment it reaches an instantaneous velocity of 25 m/s, it travels 30 m upward at a constant speed, then the engines cut off. The moment the engines cut off: the rocket is in free fall From the time it initially launches (t = 0) to the time it lands back on the planet is 7 s The acceleration due to gravity is constant on this planet. HOWEVER you may not assume g = 10 m/s2 Air resistance is negligible DETERMINE: The acceleration due to gravity on this planetarrow_forwardA two-stage rocket accelerates from rest at +3.57 m/s/s for 6.82 seconds. It then accelerates at +2.98 m/s/s for another 5.90 seconds. After the second stage, it enters into a state of free fall. Determine: the maximum speed the maximum altitude the height of the rocket after 20.0 seconds the total time the rocket is in the air (assuming it is launched from the ground)arrow_forward
