Question
A.) A student drops a water balloon out of a dorm window 26 m above the ground. What is its speed when it hits the ground?
_________ m/s
B.) A worker at the top of a 487-m-tall television transmitting tower accidentally drops a heavy tool. If air resistance is negligible, how fast (in m/s) is the tool going just before it hits the ground?
________ m/s
C.)A running back with a mass of 88 kg and a speed of 9 m/s collides with, and is held by, a 132-kg defensive tackle going in the opposite direction. How fast must the tackle be going before the collision for their speed afterward to be zero?
_______ m/s
_______ m/s
D.) A pitcher throws a 0.60 kg ball of clay at a 5.0 kg block of wood. The clay sticks to the wood on impact, and their joint velocity afterward is 1.8 m/s. What was the original speed of the clay (in m/s)?
________ m/s
