Question
Jack drops a stone from rest off of the top of a bridge that is 24.8 m above the ground. After the stone falls 6.6 m, Jill throws a second stone straight down. Both rocks hit the water at the exact same time. What was the initial velocity of Jills rock? Assume upward is the positive direction and downward is the negative. (indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)

- John kicks the ball and launches it into the air with an angle of 32° to horizontal. If it's initial velocity is 12 m/s, what is the maximum height the ball reached?arrow_forwardA ball is thrown upward from the ground with initial velocity vi = 19 m/s and reaches height of h above the ground before falling back down. Take the upward direction to be positive. Refer to the figure. Neglect air resistance. 1) Enter an expression for the height of the ball at a given time, h, the ball reaches in terms of the velocity at the current height vh, the initial velocity vi, and the acceleration a. 2) Enter an expression for the time it takes for the ball to travel from the ground to the a given height, Δt, in terms of the initial velocity vi, the velocity at that height vh, and the acceleration a.arrow_forwardA deer is running along the horizontal direction with a constant velocity of 14 m/s.
