Question

Transcribed Image Text:3. An object is dropped (released) from a bridge. A second object is thrown downward
with some initial velocity 1.00 s after the first object is released. The two objects
reach the water 20.0 m below at the same instant. What was the initial speed of the
second object?

To show off your speed, you threw a POP POP cracker at an initial speed of 7.0 m/s downward. The height above ground where you let go of the cracker was about 1.0 m. The cracker popped upon impact with the ground. How long did the kids have between the throw (you let go of the cracker at its initial speed) and the pop (the cracker impacts the ground) to cover their ears and scream? You can assume the final position to be zero. The cracker has negligible amount of air drag. Hint: the cracker has a downward initial velocity. Please include enough significant figures (3 sig. figs.) to ensure your answer is within 5% of the correct answer.arrow_forward
