- 3. A ball is thrown upwards at 13.0 m/s toward the ceiling located 6 m above the point where you release the ball. Air resistance is negligible. Objects falling near the earth's surface with no forces acting except gravity have a downwards acceleration of magnitude g. For this problem use g = 10 m/s². Write any equation you use in symbolic form before substituting in numbers. Make a labeled picture with symbols and all relevant values. Put a coordinate system on the a. picture by indicating the location of the origin and position direction. b. Find the time taken to reach the ceiling. Find the velocity just before the ball touches the ceiling. C.arrow_forwardTwo rockets are launched at a fireworks display. Rocket A is launched with an initial velocity v0 = 100 m/s and rocket B is launched t1 seconds later with the same initial velocity.

- A penny is dropped from the observation deck of the Empire State building (215.0 m above ground). With what velocity would it strike the ground if air resistance were negligible? Assume the free-fall acceleration g = 9.80 m/s2. Ignore air resistance. If the velocity is downward, enter a negative value and if the velocity is upward, enter a positive value. answer in m/sarrow_forward1b. A student stands at the edge of a cliff and throws a stone horizontally over the edge with a speed of v0 = 18.5 m/s. The cliff is h = 20.0 m above a flat, horizontal beach as shown in the figure.

A reasonable model for the sprint of a gazelle assumes an acceleration of 4.2 m/s2m/s2 for 6.5 ss , after which the gazelle continues at a steady speed. What is the gazelle's top speed? Express your answer with the appropriate units. A human would win a very short race with a gazelle. The best time for a 30 mm sprint for a human runner is 3.6 ss. How much time would the gazelle take for a 30 mm race? Express your answer with the appropriate units. A gazelle would win a longer race. The best time for a 200 mm sprint for a human runner is 19.3 ss. How much time would the gazelle take for a 200 mm race? Express your answer with the appropriate units.arrow_forward
