- If an object were to freely, from what height would it need to drop to reach a speed of 70.0m / s before reaching the ground?arrow_forwardYou throw a tennis ball straight up. Air resistance can be neglected. (a) The maximum height above your hand that the ball reaches is H. At what speed does the ball leave your hand? (b) What is the speed of the ball when it is a height H/2 above your hand? Express your answer as a fraction of the speed at which it left your hand. (c) At what height above your hand is the speed of the ball half as great as when it left your hand? Express your answer in terms of H.arrow_forward6arrow_forward
- You throw a football straight up. Air resistance can be neglected. (a) When the football is 4.00 m above where it left your hand, it is moving upward at 0.500 m>s. What was the speed of the football when it left your hand? (b) How much time elapses from when the football leaves your hand until it is 4.00 m above your hand?arrow_forwardA parachutist after bailing out falls 50 m without friction. When the parachute opens, it decelerates at 2 m/s2. He reaches the ground with a speed of 3 m/s. At what height, did he bailout? (a) 293 m (b) 111 m (c) 91 m (d) 182 marrow_forwardAn arrow is shot into the air and reaches a maximum height of 55 m, where it stops momentarily and begins to fall back to earth. Find the speed of the arrow when it left the bow.arrow_forward
- The ceiling of a classroom is 3.00 m above the floor. A student tosses an apple vertically upward, releasing it 0.55 m above the floor. What is the maximum initial speed that can be given to the apple if it is not to touch the ceiling?arrow_forwardA student slides for 5.0 m down an icy frictionless ramp whose slope is 30 degrees with respect to horizontal. She starts from rest, but how fast, in m/s is she going at the bottom? O 2.0 5.0 O 7.0 10 O 2.6arrow_forwardH:16) At the same time object A is dropped from a height H, object B begins sliding down a frictionless 45o ramp of the same vertical height H. Just before they reach the floor, which statement below is true? They have the same speeds, but object B reaches the floor first. Object B has a greater speed, and object B reaches the floor first. Object A has a greater speed, and object A reaches the floor first. They have the same speeds, but object A reaches the floor first.arrow_forward
- If you toss a ball upward with a certain initial speed, it falls freely and reaches a maximum height h at a time t after it leaves your hand. Suppose you throw the ball upward with double the initial speed. What new maximum height does the ball reach?
