Alice and Tom dive from an overhang into the lake below. Tom simply drops straight down from the edge, but Alice takes a running start and jumps with an initial horizontal velocity of 25 m/s. Neither person experiences any significant air resistance. Just as they reach the lake below (select all answers that are true) Group of answer choices: None of the above choices are correct. they will both have the same speed. the speed of Alice is larger than that of Tom. Alice reaches the surface of the lake first. They reach the surface of the lake at the same time. Tom reaches the surface of the lake first. the speed of Tom is larger than that of Alice.
Consult Conceptual Example 9 in preparation for this problem. The drawing shows a person who, starting from rest at the top of a cliff, swings down at the end of a rope, releases it, and falls into the water below. There are two paths by which the person can enter the water. Suppose he enters the water at a speed of 13.8 m/s via path 1. How fast is he moving on path 2 when he releases the rope at a height of 3.69 m above the water? Ignore the effects of air resistance. Number i Path 2 Units Path 1
Three identical rocks are thrown from the top of a building. Rock # 1 is thrown horizontally with a speed of 12 m/s. Rock #2 is thrown straight upward with a speed of 12 m/s. Rock #3 is thrown straight downward with a speed of 12 m/s. There is no air resistance and none of the rocks come into contact with anything before they hit the ground at the base of the building. Compare the rocks' speeds just before they strike the ground at the base of the building by ranking them from fastest to slowest. O Rock #1, Rock #3, Rock #2 O Rock #3, Rock #2, Rock #1 O Rocks #1 and #2 have the same final speed and #3 is slowest. O Rock #2 is the fastest while Rocks #1 and #3 are tied for slowest. O All three rocks have the same final speed.
A 0.4 kg ball is thrown vertically upward with an initial speed of 15 m/s as it leaves the throwers hand. During its motion, a 50 N air friction acts on the ball. How high will the ball go?
Two pumpkins are thrown from the top of the Physical Sciences building as a part of a physics demonstration. Both pumpkins are thrown with the same initial speed. Pumpkin 1 is thrown straight up, while Pumpkin 2 is thrown straight out (horizontally). Neglecting air resistance, compare the speeds of the two pumpkins just before they splat on the sidewalk. a) Both pumpkins have the same speed b) Pumpkin 1 has the higher speed c) Pumpkin 2 has the higher speed d) There is not enough information to tell

Dr. Jekyll (m = 70kg) is riding a skateboard when he realizes the cranberry juice he’s drinking is sweetened with artificial sweetener and turns into Mr. Hyde (m = 155kg). If Dr. Jekyll was initially moving at 6.5m/s, what is Mr. Hyde’s speed? (assume no external forces act)
As part of an obstacle course, an athlete must kick a soccer ball into a 1 meter wide and 10 meter deep pit such that the ball hits a target at the bottom of the pit. In practice, a dynamics student that is participating in the race kicks the soccer ball such that the soccer ball will bounce off the far wall of the pit 5 meters below the surface and head towards the target. If the velocity of the ball before striking the wall at point A is v A = 3.02 – 103 m, determine the n-component of the ball's velocity vector (in m) after striking the wall. The size of the ball and the target are negligible relative to the dimensions of the pit, the gravity acceleration must be considered as 10 m and the coefficient of restitution at point A is e = 0.45. 5 т A 10 m 1m
Ferns that eject spores generally do so in pairs, with two spores flying off in opposite directions. The structure from which the spores are launched is quite lightweight. If it takes a certain amount of energy to eject each spore, explain how launching the spores in pairs provides for the greatest initial launch speed for each spore.
Chris and Steve push a huge boulder (m = 65 kg) to the top of an 18 m cliff. The boulder is moving with a speed of 6.0 m/s when it tumbles over the edge of the cliff. How fast will it be going when it hits the ground? (no air resistance)
