- On new years eve, a drunk guy who is on top of a building decided throw a bottle downwards towards the street below the building. The initial velocity of the bottle is is 1.5m/s. If the bottle hits the ground 1.8 seconds after the throw, how tall is the building in meters? Assume that this is a classic free-fall problem.arrow_forwardWe know that alcohol consumption slows people's reaction times. Suppose that for a particular person, it normally takes 0.37 s to hit the brakes after seeing danger. It takes the same person 1.42 s when drunk. If their car is initially traveling at 84 km/h, how much farther (in meters) does the car travel before the brakes are applied when the person is drunk compared to sober? (Notice that the car's speed is given in km/h but the times given are in seconds and your answer should be in meters, so you'll have to do some unit conversion.)arrow_forwardThe brakes are applied to a moving car, causing it to uniformly slow down. While slowing, it moves a distance of 40.0 m in 7.40 s to a final velocity of 1.50 m/s, at which point the brakes are released.
