Water drops fall from the edge of a roof at a steady rate. A fifth drop starts to fall just as the first drop hits the ground. At this instant, the second and third drops are exactly at the bottom and top edges of a 1.50-m-tall window.
How high is the edge of the roof?
An arrow is shot vertically upward and then 1.88 s later passes the top of tree 36.2 m high. How much longer will the arrow travel upward, and how high will go?
A toy rocket moving vertically upward passes by a 1.8 m -high window whose sill is 7.0 m above the ground. The rocket takes 0.16 s to travel the 1.8 m height of the window.
a) What was the launch speed of the rocket? Assume the propellant is burned very quickly at blastoff.
b) How high will the rocket go?
