A ball of mass m is shot straight up into the air with an initial speed vi. (a) What is the maximum height reached by the ball (in terms of vi and g)? (b) A second ball is dropped from rest from a height, h, directly above the first ball, and is released at the same time that the first ball is shot upwards. At what height will the two balls collide? Provide an expression in terms of h, vi, and g. (c) From what height should the second ball be dropped from so that the two balls collide when the first ball is at its maximum height?

A landscape architect is planning an artificial waterfall in a city park. Water flowing at 1.70 m/s will leave the end of a horizontal channel at the top of a vertical wall h = 2.35 m high, and from there it will fall into a pool (Fig. P3.42). (a) Will the space behind the waterfall be wide enough for a pedestrian walkway? (b) To sell her plan to the city council, the architect wants to build a model to standard scale, which is one-twelfth actual size. How fast should the water flow in the channel in the model?

I was standing on the side of a 10-m foot bridge, holding a ball while watching a car approaching the bridge at uniform speed. When the car was 15 meters away from where I was standing, the ball that I was holding slipped in my hand and the car arrived at the bridge when the ball hit the ground. What was the speed of the car? (Assume that the final velocity of the ball is NOT zero)
Francesco, a pizza chef preparing the dough for your pizza is throwing it to expand it. In this process, you notice that a chunk of it comes off, flying separately from the rest and on to the floor. If Francesco is 6 feet and 0 inches tall, and the chunk flies off vertically straight up from this height at a speed of 1 m/s, with what speed does the chunk hit the ground?

At heights of 10 to 60 kilometers above the surface of the Earth, cosmic rays continually strike nuclei of oxygen and nitrogen atoms in the upper reaches of the atmosphere and produce muons (elementary particles of a mass about 207 times that of the electron). Some of the muons move vertically downward with a speed nearly that of light. Follow one of the muons on its way down. In a given sample of muons, half will decay to other elementary particles in 1.5 microseconds (1.5 × 10-6 seconds), as measured in a reference frame in which they are at rest. Half of the remainder decay in the next 1.5 microseconds, and so on. Analyze the results of this decay as observed in two different frames. Idealize the rather complicated details of the actual experiment to the following roughly equivalent situation: All muons are produced at the same height (45 kilometers); all muons have the same speed; all travel straight down; none are lost to collisions with air molecules on the way down. ●…

A 5.0-kilogram grenade lying motionless on the ground explodes into three pieces. (It's not a very sophisticated grenade.) A 2.0-kilogram piece flies off at 18 meters per second and 110 degrees. A 1.7-kilogram piece flies off at 31 meters per second and 270 degrees. What is the velocity of the third piece? Include units in your answers.
A truck (M = 2500kg) collides with a car (m = 1000kg) at a 4-way intersection. Fortunately nobody gets hurt. Suppose the car is going north at 20m/s ( about 45mph) and the truck is coming from the east at 10m/s ( about 22mph). The car and truck stick together after the %3D collision. (a) Find the speed and direction of the car and truck immediately after the collision. (b) Approximately how much energy went into the deformation of the metal that caused the two vehicles to stick together? (c) What assumptions did you make? The
Two particles are initially at the point (0,0) (the origin) of a coordinate system. Particle A moves along the positive r-axis with a speed of 2 m/s. Particle B moves along the positive y-axis with a speed of 3 m/s. 2. How fast is the distance between the two particles changing, when Particle A is 6 meters from the origin? Draw a diagram of the situation and label it. Answer with an exact value.
Two identical balls are thrown vertically upward. The second ball is thrown with an initial speed that is twice that of the first ball. How does the maximum height of the two balls compare? The maximum height of the second ball is four times that of the first ball. The maximum height of the second ball is two times that of the first ball. The maximum height of the second ball is eight times that of the first ball. The maximum height of the second ball is 1.41 times that of the first ball. The maximum heights of the two balls are equal.
Alice and Tom dive from an overhang into the lake below. Tom simply drops straight down from the edge, but Alice takes a running start and jumps with an initial horizontal velocity of 25 m/s. Neither person experiences any significant air resistance. Just as they reach the lake below (select all answers that are true) Group of answer choices: None of the above choices are correct. they will both have the same speed. the speed of Alice is larger than that of Tom. Alice reaches the surface of the lake first. They reach the surface of the lake at the same time. Tom reaches the surface of the lake first. the speed of Tom is larger than that of Alice.
