Question
I drop a baseball from the top of a 18m window, somebody right below me throws their own baseball straight up at the same time. Their baseball leaves their hand 2.2m above the ground with a speed of 10.1m/s. When I dropped the baseball it was from rest. What is their height when they meet?

A crazy, young boy on a sled is able to get up to an incredible speed of 22.5 m/s (yes, he is wearing a helmet!) along a frictionless horizontal surface while he approaches an icy hill with a vertical height of 11 m, as shown. He makes it to the top, and then flies off horizontally from the ledge of the hill. How far from the base of the hill does the boy land? 225 mis Figure 1arrow_forward
- I had a dream last night that I was chased by my teddy bear. In my dream, I was sleepwalking at a constant velocity of 60ft/sec. At exactly 4:00 am I noticed my teddy bear standing 1000 feet behind me. At that instant I began to accelerate at 10 ft/sec/sec and the teddy bear began to accerlate after me at 12 ft/sec/sec. At the moment the bear caught up to me, I woke from my dream in a cold sweat.
