Freefall Problem You stand on a top of a lighthouse while your friend is on the ground outside. You peered into the window and dropped the bulb used on the lighthouse and asked your friend to check if it is still okay. He caught the bulb with ease after 3.26 seconds then tossed it back up to you and it lands directly into your hands. What is the velocity of the bulb at the exact moment your friend tossed it back up to you?

A fastball pitcher can throw a baseball at a speed of 40 m/s (90 mi/b). (a) Assuming the pitcher can release the ball 16.7 m from home plate so the ball is moving horizontally, how long does it take the ball to reach bone plate? (b) How far does the ball drop between the pitcher’s hand and home plate?

Cali filed a complaint against the school bus driver. She claimed that she was injured when the lunch box from the front of the bus came flying towards her after the driver suddenly hit the brakes while moving forward. She also claimed that she was sitting in the rear of the bus. If you were the principal, would you believe Cali and fire the driver immediately? A. No. A fast stop would make the suitcase fly toward the front of the bus. B. Yes. A fast stop would make the suitcase fly toward the rear of the bus, C. No. The driver can’t do that. D. Yes. The driver should not drive faster than the speed limit.
2. A student wants to toss a textbook to his roomate who is leaning out of a window directly above him. He throws the book upwards with an initial velocity of 8.0 m/s. The roomate catches it while it is travelling at 3.0 m/s upward. A. How long was the book in the air? B. How far vertically did the book travel? C. Redo the problem, and have the roomate catch the book as it is travelling 3.0 m/s downward. What is the time and displacement now? 3. A man is standing on the edge of a 20.0 m high cliff. He throws a rock vertically with an initial velocity of 10.0 m/s A. How high does the rock go? (Remember that at its max height v = 0 m/s) B. How long does it take to reach it max height?
This is a three part problem. A penny is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 10 m/s. Exactly 1 second later a dime is thrown upward along the same path as the penny at a speed of 15 m/s. Ignoring air resistance: A. At what time do the penny and dime collide? B. At what height does the collision occur? C. Is the penny on the way up or down when the collision occurs?
You are going to toss a rock straight up into the air by placing it on the palm of your hand (youare not gripping it), then pushing your hand up very rapidly. You may want to toss an object intothe air this way to help you think about the situation. The rock is your object. For each part,determine the direction of ?⃗net.A. As you hold the rock at rest on your palm, before moving your hand.B. As your hand is moving up, but before the rock leaves your hand.C. One-tenth of a second after the rock leaves your hand.D. After the rock has reached its highest point and is not yet falling straight down. Draw a free body diagram for each
A person is standing on top of a building. While standing at the edge of the building the person throws a water balloon downward with a speed of 22 m/s and at an angle of 36 degrees below the horizontal. It takes 2.6 s for the water balloon to hit the other persons friend. a. How high is the building? b. How fast is the water balloon moving when it hits the friend in the ground? Give answer in m/s. c. What was the horizontal distance between the friend on the ground and the building in meters?
A lady tosses a coin vertically up with a speed of 5.5 m/s. a. How high will the coin rise before it goes down? b. How long will the coin stay in air before landing? c. With what speed will it land on the lady's hand? d. At what times will the speed of the coins be 3 m/s?
Your frined drops a tennis ball from her window (66.1 m above the ground). One second later you throw a rock(as a projectile) from the ground. The rock and the ball collide at x=32.6m, y=22 m measured from where the rock was thrown. a.) Determine how many second after the tennis ball is released the collision takes place. b.) Determine the velocity of the tennis ball at the time of the collision with the rock. c.) Determine the initial velocity of the rock in its component form.
A student throws a water balloon vertically downward from the top of a building. The balloon leaves the thrower's hand with a speed of 6.00 m/s. Air resistance may be ignored, so the water balloon is free fall after it leaves the thrower's hand. a. What is its speed after falling for 2.00 s? b. How far does it fall in 2.00 s? c. What is the magnitude of its velocity after falling 10.0 m?
