You are a good tree climber and were helping your neighbor kid retrieve his pickle ball that was stuck on a tree branch. You estimated the ball is about 5 m above the ground. Once you climbed high enough, you retrieved the ball and tossed it downward at about 2 m/s downward. How long did the kid have to dodge before the ball hits the ground? You can assume the final position to be zero. The pickle ball has negligible amount of air drag. Hint: the ball has a downward initial velocity.

A ball is projected vertically up from the floor of a room. The ball experiences air resistance that is proportional to speed of the ball. Just before hitting the ceiling the speed of the ball is 10 m/s and its retardation is 2g. The ball rebounds from the ceiling without any loss of speed and falls on the floor 2s after making impact with the ceiling. How high is the ceiling? Take g = 10 m/s².
You throw a baseball directly upward at time t = 0 at an initial speed of 14.1 m/s. What is the maximum height the ball reaches above where it leaves your hand? Ignore air resistance and take g = 9.80 m/s². maximum height: At what times does the ball pass through half the maximum height? earlier time at half maximum height: later time at half maximum height: m
A baseball player throws a baseball straight up into the air, in the following way: Starting from a height of 1.0 m above the ground, he accelerates the ball vertically with 30. m/s2 for 0.25 s, then the ball leaves his hand and flies straight up in free fall. Let’s ignore the air resistance. Draw a carefully labeled sketch of the situation. Calculate the velocity of the ball as it leaves the player’s hand. How high does the ball go relative to its initial position (yo=1.0 m)? Shows all work please.
You throw a baseball directly upward at time t=0 at an initial speed of 12.1 m/s. What is the maximum height the ball reaches above where it leaves your hand? Ignore air resistance and take g=9.80 m/s2 At what times does the ball pass through half the maximum height?
A stone is thrown from the top of a 59.4 m high rock. The vertical component of the initial speed of the stone is 19.5 m / s upwards. How long does the stone spend in the air? Suppose the soil at the base of the rock is flat.
A rocket accelerates at 25m/s2 from rest on a frictionless inclined surface. The inclined ramp has a height of 70m and makes a 32 degrees angle above the ground. The rocket stops accelerating at the instant it leaves the incline. If air resistance is negligible, what is the horizontal distance 'R' from the end of the ramp to the point of impact (where it hits the ground)? a) Draw a diagram of this situation and be sure to include the distance 'R' b) Calculate the distance 'R' from the end of the ramp to the point of impact. 1.Draw the clear diagram 2. Give the indicating distance 'R' 3. Show your work 4. Find vertical and horizontal components of velocity when rocket leaves ramp 5. Find distance 'R'
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?
While standing at the edge of the roof of a building, a man throws a stone upward with an initial speed of 5.89 m/s. The stone subsequently falls to the ground, which is 13.1 m below the point where the stone leaves his hand. At what speed does the stone impact the ground? Ignore air resistance and use g = 9.81 m/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity. impact speed: How much time is the stone in the air? elapsed time: m/s
A golf ball is thrown straight up from the edge of the roof of a building. A second golf ball is dropped from the roof a time of 1.18 s later. You may ignore air resistance. Part A If the height of the building is 20.7 m , what must the initial speed be of the first ball if both are to hit the ground at the same time? v= m/s Part B Consider the same situation, but now let the initial speed v0 of the first ball be given and treat the height h of the building as an unknown. What must the height of the building be for both balls to reach the ground at the same time for v0 = 9.00 m/s . h= m
Two balls are thrown from the top of the 5 m tall building. Both are thrown with initial speed of 20 m/s. Ball 1 is thrown horizontally, while ball 2 is thrown straight down. What is the difference in the speeds of the two balls when they touch the ground?
A lunar lander is making its descent to Moon Base I . The lander descends slowly under the retro-thrust of its descent engine. The engine is cut off when the lander is 5.0 m above the surface and has a downward speed of 0.8 m>s.With the engine off, the lander is in free fall. What is the speed of the lander just before it touches the surface? The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1.6 m/s2.
You are on the roof of the lecture hall, 51.8 m above ground. As your physics professor, who is 1.8 m tall, walks towards the hall at a constant speed of 1.2 m/s. If you wish to drop an egg on your professor's head, where should the professor be when you release the egg? Assume egg is in freefall and air resistance is ignored.
