- The Hulk, on the 75th story of Stark Tower (225 m off the ground), sees Tony drop his penny. He catches the penny and throws it back to Tony. What is the minimum speed necessary for Hulk's throw in order for the penny to reach Tony? (Note: nobody bothers trying to get Mjolnir back to Thor. He's on his own.)arrow_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_forwardAn object is thrown vertically downward at 18 m/s from a window and hits the ground 1.6 s later. What is the height of the window above the ground? (Air resistance is negligible.)arrow_forward

(b) With what speed does it hit the ground?arrow_forwardin a circus act, an acrobat rebounds upward from the surface of a trampoline at the exact moment that another acrobat, perched 9.0 m above him, releases a ball from rest. While still in flight, the acrobat catches the ball just as it reaches him. If he left the trampoline with a speed of 7.6 m/s, how long is he in the air before he catches the ball? (FYI I don't necessarily need the answer but I would really like to know how to solve it, as I don't know how)arrow_forwardA young child uses a slingshot to launch a rock straight up at a speed of 12 m/s and then catches it at the point from where he launched it.
