One day an old lady was walking up a mountain and made it to a cliff with her grandbaby in a stroller. Her cousin was with her holding the baby, and the old lady bent down to tie her shoes which caused the empty stroller to roll down the hill and off a high eliff. Ignoring air resistance (see section 3.4 in the text), what is the horizontal component (that meansx-direction) of its acceleration? What is the vertical component (that means y-direction) of its acceleration?

At a basketball match, a player used his head to (unintentionally) deflect a ball straight up, and 0.5 seconds later, it came back down and struck the player on the head a second time. Give your answer to 2 significant figures. Use g = 10. m/s2 . (a) Find the initial vertical speed v0 of the ball in units of m/s. (b) Find the maximum height hmax that it reached assuming the head of the player is 2m above the ground.
A roller coaster in the figure below starts at the top of a straight track that is inclined 30° with the horizontal. This causes it to accelerate at a rate of 4.9 m/s² (1/2 g). a 30° (a) What is the roller coaster's speed after 7 s? m/s (b) How far does it travel during that time? bo 1/2
A ball rolls off a table with a horizontal velocity of 10 m/s. It takes 1.8 seconds for it to reach the floor.

Apparently, Felix chose this tower as his testing location due to a strangely soft and cushiony rock formation at the base. Meaning the cats will land unharmed. A) If Felix flings the felines flat, meaning no initial vertical velocity, how long will it take the cats to land on a platform 10 meters below? Just consider the one, vertical, dimension?
