- Please don't provide handwritten solution... A rescue helicopter is hovering over a person whose boat has sunk. One of the rescuers throws a life preserver straight down to the victim with an initial velocity of 1.50 m/s and observes that it takes 2.3 s to reach the water. How high (in m) above the water was the preserver released? Note that the downdraft of the helicopter reduces the effects of air resistance on the falling life preserver, so that an acceleration equal to that of gravity is reasonable. ____marrow_forwardA stone is thrown straight upward from the edge of the top of a building at an initial speed of 10 m/s. The height of the building is 40 m. How much later must a second stone be dropped from the rest at the same initial height so that the two stones hit the ground at the same time?arrow_forwardThe initial speed of a ball thrown straight upward is 17.3 m/s, and then it is caught at the same distance above the ground.

What is the maximum height that the rock reaches?arrow_forwardA snowball rolls off a barn roof that slopes downward at an angle of 40°. The edge of the roof is 14.0 m above the ground, and the snowball has a speed of 7.00 m/s as it rolls off the roof. Ignore air resistance, how far from the edge of the barn does the snowball strike the ground if it doesn't strike anything else while falling?
