Two balls are thrown from a Keane Hall. One is thrown directly down and the other directly up. Both balls have the same initial speed (just different direction) and both hit the ground below. How does the speed of the two balls relate when they hit the ground? Explain.
Anna is running to the right, as shown. Balls 1 and 2 are thrown toward her by friends standing on the ground. According to Anna, both balls are approaching her at the same speed. Which ball was thrown with the faster speed? Or were they thrown with the same speed? Explain.

One second later you throw a rock(as a projectile) from the ground. The rock and the ball collide at x=32.6m, y=22 m measured from where the rock was thrown. a.) Determine how many second after the tennis ball is released the collision takes place. b.) Determine the velocity of the tennis ball at the time of the collision with the rock. c.) Determine the initial velocity of the rock in its component form.arrow_forwardTrain A is moving with a constant velocity of 10 m/s toward Train B. Train B starts from rest and speeds up toward Train A at a rate of 1.5 m/s/s. If the two trains are 100 m apart at the moment Train B starts from rest: A) How much time does it take for the trains to collide?arrow_forward
- Carla holds a ball 1.5 m above the ground. Daniel, leaning out of a car window, also holds a ball 1.5 m above the ground. Daniel drives past Carla at 40 mph and, just as he passes her, both release their balls at the same instant. Whose ball hits the ground first? Explain.arrow_forwardA rock of mass 0.5 kg is shot straight up in the air at 3 ms 1 from the top of a cliff 20 m high. a) Draw a picture of the situations along with an appropriate coordinate system of your choice. b) Using COE, determine how far above the top of the cliff the rock goes before beginning to fall back down. c) Using COE, determine how fast is the rock moving when it hits the ground at the bottom of the cliff.arrow_forward1. Arthur and Betty start walking toward each other when they are 100. m apart. Arthur has a speed of 3.0 m/s and Betty has a speed of 2.0 m/s. Their dog, Spot, starts by Arthur's side at the same time and runs back and forth between them at 5.0 m/s. By the time Arthur and Betty meet, what distance has Spot run?arrow_forward
- Victoria is standing on a boat, during a perfectly calm day. Initially, both are not moving. Then Victoria walks from one end of the boat to the other. Take the initial time to be before she walks and the final while still walking. b) Compare the final speed of the boat with Victoria’s final speed. Are they the same or different? Why?arrow_forwardMaia and Jorge both held tennis balls 1.5 m above the ground. Maia dropped her tennis ball at the same time Jorge hit his horizontally with a tennis racket. Which of the following statements is true of the behavior of the tennis balls? A. Maia's ball reached the ground before Jorge's ball because Jorge's ball traveled horizontally. B. Both balls reached the ground at the same time, even though Jorge's ball traveled horizontally as well. C. Jorge's ball reached the ground before Maia's ball because the tennis racket made it fall faster. D. Maia's ball reached the ground first because Jorge's ball experienced centripetal force.arrow_forwardThis is a three part problem. A penny is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 10 m/s.
