While sitting on a tree branch 10.0 m above the ground, you drop a chestnut. When the chestnut has fallen 2.5 m, you throw a second chestnut straight down. What initial speed must you give the second chestnut if they are both to reach.
A stone is thrown vertically into the air at 120 m/s. After 3.0s , another stone is thrown vertically. What is the speed must the second stone have to pass the first stone at 100 m from the ground?
