Here’s an interesting challenge you can give to a friend. Hold a $1 (or larger!) bill by an upper corner. Have a friend prepare to pinch a lower corner, putting her fingers near but not touching the bill. Tell her to try to catch the bill when you drop it by simply closing her fingers. This seems like it should be easy, but it’s not. After she sees that you have released the bill, it will take her about 0.25 s to react and close her fingers—which is not fast enough to catch the bill. How much time does it take for the bill to fall beyond her grasp? The length of a bill is 16 cm.

You have been hired as a physics professor by some aliens and taken far far away to their ‘planet’. Being curious, you wanted to find out which ‘planet’ you were on. With an alien stopwatch you determined the time for a 2.0 kg alien object released from a height of 2.5 m to hit the ground to be 1.75 s.   1. What is the acceleration due to gravity on the alien ‘planet’?                                                            2. With what speed does the alien 2.0 kg object hit the ground?

Consider the following descriptions of the vertical motion of an object subject only to the acceleration due to gravity. Begin with the acceleration equation a(t) = v'(t) = g, where g= - 9.8 m/s. a. Find the velocity of the object for all relevant times. b. Find the position of the object for all relevant times. c. Find the time when the object reaches its highest point. What is the height? d. Find the time when the object strikes the ground. A softball is popped up vertically (from the ground) with a velocity of 25 m/s. а. v(t) b. s(t) = %3D c. The object's highest point is m at time t= S. (Simplify your answers. Round to two decimal places as needed.) d. t= (Simplify your answer. Round to two decimal places as needed.)

A remote-controlled car is moving in a vacant parking lot. The velocity of the car as a function of time is given by v⃗ =[ 5.00m/s − (0.0180m/s3) t2 ] i + [ 2.00m/s + (0.550m/s2) t ] j . a. What is the magnitude of the velocity of the car at t = 8.00 s? b. What is the direction (in degrees counterclockwise from + x-axis) of the velocity of the car at t = 8.00 s? c. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the car at t = 8.00 s? d. What is the direction (in degrees counterclockwise from + x-axis) of the acceleration of the car at t = 8.00 s?

The chaos of the pandemic is finally over, and you decide to drive to your friend's house to pick her up, and take her back to your house before going out. She lives 4 miles straight East from you. a. What is the displacement of your journey in miles? b. What is the distance of your journey in miles?

A ball is thrown at an initial height of 90 feet at an initial velocity of 55 feet/second at an angle of 75 degrees. Given the parametric equations y = 16t2 + Vo · Sin(0)t + ho and r = Vo Cos(0)t. When doing calculations, carry 5 digits of accuracy, so your round off does not build up. a. What is the ball's height in 3 seconds? feet. b. When will the object hit the ground? seconds. c. How far horizontally will the ball be when it hits the ground? feet. d. When will the ball be at its maximum height? seconds. e. What is the ball's maximum height? feet. f. How far horizontally will the ball be when it reaches its maximum height? feet
