Learning Task 2: PROBLEM-SOLVING: A marble is thrown horizontally from a tabletop with a velocity of 1.50 m/s. The marble falls 0.70 m away from the table's edge. How high is the lab table? What is the marble's velocity just before it hits the floor?

A rocket is fired at a speed of 86.0 m/s from ground level, at an angle of 31.0° above the horizontal. The rocket is fired toward an 7.92- Im high wall, which is located 16.0 m away. The rocket attains its launch speed in a negligibly short period of time, after which its engines shut down and the rocket coasts. By how much does the rocket clear the top of the wall? Number i Units

A rocket is fired at a speed of 83.0 m/s from ground level, at an angle of 45.0° above the horizontal. The rocket is fired toward an 12.5-m high wall, which is located 21.0 m away. The rocket attains its launch speed in a negligibly short period of time, after which its engines shut down and the rocket coasts. By how much does the rocket clear the top of the wall? Number i Units

A young child uses a slingshot to launch a rock straight up at a speed of 12 m/s and then catches it at the point from where he launched it. What is the maximum height that the rock reaches?

A skateboarder decides to try to jump from the top of a set of stairs and land at the bottom. She leaves the top of the stairs with a horizontal velocity of 15.0 m/s. If the top of the stairs is 2.0 m high, what will her horizontal displacement be?

Your little sister is running to the park in your neighborhood at a speed of 3.90 m/s when you suddenly realize she left her favorite playground ball behind. You throw her ball horizontally out the window of your apartment which is at a height of 45.0 m above the street and directly above the sidewalk. You throw the ball 8.00 seconds after she has passed below your window and she catches the ball! a) Ignoring air resistance, what is the initial speed that you must throw her ball so she can catch it just before it reaches the ground? b) How far down the sidewalk from the window is your sister when she catches her ball?

Mt. Asama, Japan, is an active volcano complex. In 2009, an eruption threw solid volcanic rocks that landed far from the crater. Suppose that one such rock was launched at an angle of θ = 57.6 degrees above horizontal, and landed a horizontal distance d = 880 m from the crater, and a vertical distance h = 940 m below the crater. a) what is the initial speed of the rock in m/s? b) how long in secs was the rock in the air?

A ping pong ball rolls at a speed of 0.60 m/s toward the edge of a table which is 0.80 m high. The ball rolls off the table.  a) How long is the ball in the air?  b) How far out from the point directly below the edge of the tabletop does the ball hit the floor?

A book slides horizontally off a shelf 2.8 meters above the floor, at a velocity of 0.25 m/s.  How far from the shelf does it land?

15) You are standing on a cliff 50 m high and throw a rock with an initial velocity of 20 m/s straight up so that the rock eventually lands at the base of the cliff (50 m below you). How long is the rock in the air? a) What is the maximum height of the rock? b) What is the final velocity of the rock? c)
