A steel ball is dropped from a building’s roof and passes a window, taking 0.13 s to fall from the top to the bottom of the window, a distance of 1.20 m. It then falls to a sidewalk and bounces back past the window, moving from bottom to top in 0.13 s. Assume that the upward flight is an exact reverse of the fall. The time the ball spends below the bottom of the window is1.61 s. How tall is the building?
A cheetah spots a gazelle 60.0 m away. The cheetah accelerates at 7.5 m/s2 toward the gazelle. The gazelle notices the cheetah 2.0 s later and accelerates straight away with an acceleration of 5.2 m/s2. Assuming they both start from rest, how far (in meters) does the gazelle make it before being caught by the cheetah?
A football quarterback runs 19 m straight down the playing field in 2.1 s (in the positive direction). He is then hit and pushed
2.5 m straight backwards in 1.5 s. He breaks the tackle and runs straight forward another 24 m in 4.6 s.
