- A ball is kicked with an initial horizontal velocity of 16 m/s and initial vertical velocity of 10 m/s. What is the maximum height the ball goes above the ground? Use g = 10 m/s2.arrow_forwardFalcons are excellent fliers that can reach very high speeds by diving nearly straight down. To pull out of such a dive, a falcon extends its wings and flies through a circular arc that redirects its motion. The forces on the falcon that control its motion are its weight and an upward lift force—like an airplane—due to the air flowing over its wings. At the bottom of the arc, as shown, a falcon can easily achieve an acceleration of 15 m/s2. A falcon starts from rest, does a free-fall dive from a height of 30 m, and then pulls out by flying in a circular arc of radius 50 m. Which segment of the motion has a higher acceleration?A. The free-fall diveB. The circular arcC. The two accelerations are equal.arrow_forwardYou are designing a high-speed elevator for a new skyscraper. The elevator will have a mass limit of 2400 kg (including passengers). For passenger comfort, you choose the maximum ascent speed to be 18.0 m/s, the maximum descent speed to be 10.0 m/s, and the maximum acceleration magnitude to be 3.40 m/s 2. Ignore friction. What is the minimum time it will take the elevator to ascend from the lobby to the observation deck, a vertical displacement of 640 m?arrow_forward
