A student sees her physical science professor approaching on the sidewalk that runs by her dorm. She gets a water balloon and waits. When the professor is 2.0 s from being directly under her window 11 m above the sidewalk, she drops the balloon. You finish the story.
An electric skateboarder is travelling west on a path along the river at 5m/s. A brisk walker on the other side of the riverbank is walking east along a path at 3m/s. The two paths are 40m apart. The skateboarder is initially 600m east of the walker. After 60 seconds, how fast is the distance between the skateboarder and the walker changing?

- The sidewalk is 50.0 m long and is moving at 1.25m/s. How long will it take a passenger walking at 1.0m/s relative to the sidewalk, in the opposite direction, to reach the other end of the sidewalk?arrow_forwardAn electric skateboarder is travelling west on a path along the river at 4m/s. A brisk walker on the other side of the riverbank is walking east along a path at 2m/s. The two paths are 40m apart. The skateboarder is initially 200m east of the walker. After 60 seconds, how fast is the distance between the skateboader and the walker changing?arrow_forwardA passenger train driver traveling at 25.0 m/s sees a trolley commuting 5 people is being pushed at a constant 15.0 m/s along the same track and moving in the same direction as the passenger train 200 m away from him. The train driver then applies the brake causing the train to slow down at a rate of 0.100 m/s². If the trolley continues to move forward and the trolley driver plus the passengers immediately react and jump off the trolley as the passenger trains give the signal, will an observer nearby witness a train-trolley collision? Hint: Compute for the time that the train will be able to catch up with the trolley. (Apply quadratic equation)arrow_forward

On St Patrick's Day Romeo drops small green ceramic roses from his balcony to attract Juliet's attention. Juliet is looking out her window when she sees the roses go by. Her security camera measures the time for the each rose to pass the full height of her 1.0 m tall window as 0.123 s. How high above the top of Juliet's window is Romeo's hand? Your Answer: Answer unitsarrow_forwardTwo cars are moving towards an intersection. One car is 150 meters north of the intersection and moving towards the intersection at 20 m/s, while the other is 180 meters west of the intersection and moving towards the intersection at 16 m/s.
