Two children are playing on a 151-m-tall bridge. One child drops a rock (initial velocity zero) at t = 0. The other waits 1.1 s and then throws a rock downward with an initial speed Vo. If the two rocks hit the ground at the same time, what is vo? m/s
The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of a planet depends on the mass and size of the planet; therefore, other planets will have accelerations due to gravity other than 9.8 m / s2. Imagine an astronaut standing on an alien planet, which has no atmosphere, and throws a stone with a velocity of 7.35 m / s in a horizontal direction, dropping it at a height of 1.40 m above the surface of the planet. The rock hits the surface at a horizontal distance of 9.50 m from the astronaut. Find the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity, in m / s2, on this alien planet.
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 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 are on the roof of a Physics Building, 51 m above the ground. Your physics professor, who is 1.84 m tall, is approaching the building at constant speed of 1.19 m/s.
