Problem 1: Under which assumption an object is on free-falling  Problem 2: Is the speed of a free-falling object changing throughout the motion? Just the reasoning?

We want to find the coefficient of restitution e between the ball and the floor. We will be able to measure the time of flight between subsequent bounces, but not the velocities before and after each impact. Question 1 a. Using the kinematics equation for position, find a relationship between the time of flight tn and the velocity of the ball after the nth bounce. You should obtain a quadratic equation that has two solutions for the time tm, but only one of them represents the time of flight. b. Using the kinematics equation for velocity and the relationship determined in the previous step, find the relationship between the velocity right after the nth bounce and the velocity right before the (n +1)th bounce? c. Given your answers to the previous parts of this question and the definition of €, find the coefficient of restitution e in terms of the subsequent times of flight tn and tr+1.

The graphs below show the position d of a puck plotted as a function of time t for 3 pucks moving across a smooth horizontal plane. Select the case that identifies the puck(s) experiencing equilibrium. II O A. I and II only O B. || only OC.I and III only O D.I only O E. I, II, and II

A 2-stage rocket is fired from rest. Its acceleration data are shown in the graph below. Plot the v-t and s-t graphs describing the motion of the rocket-clearly showing the shape of the curve (or add a note) and values at inflection points. Show any calculations as well. Then find the velocity of the rocket and its elevation after 20 seconds of flight. a (m/s?) 25 18 (s) 15 20
