A golfer wants to put the ball into the final hole which lies 7.0 m away from the ball and up a slight hill. Because of the incline while the ball moves up this hill will experience a constant deceleration of 1.8 m/s^2. Which initial velocity should the golfer give the ball if they want to make it go precisely into the hole? Please answer in m/s
6. Lebron throw an apple vertically upward from the roof of a tall building. The apple leaves his hand at a point even with the roof railing with an upward speed of 15.0 m/s; the apple is then in free fall. (Ignore air resistance.) On its way back down, it just misses the railing. Find (a) the apple's position and velocity 1.00 s and 4.00 s after leaving his hand; (b) the apple's velocity when it is 5.00 m above the railing; (c) the maximum height reached.

A person stands on a cliff edge and throws a stone vertically upwards at time t = 0. The stone leaves their hand at 20 m/s. Take the acceleration due to gravity as 9.8 m/s Calculate the height of the stone 2.0 s after release and 6.0 s after it is released.
A steel ball is thrown up with a velocity of 80 m/s from the ground. While coming down, it strikes a glass pan, held at half the height through which it has risen and loses 45% of its velocity in breaking the glass. Determine the time taken to reach the maximum height and the velocity with which it will strike the ground and total time taken to reach the ground. Solution The time taken to reach maximum height in seconds is The maximum height reached in m is The velocity of the stone when it hits the ground in m/s is The total time taken by the stone in seconds is
