- An object falls from a high building. What will its velocity be after 7 seconds of falling? An object falls from a high building and hits the ground in 9.5 seconds. What is the height of the building? During a storm, a piece of metal was knocked off a building. The metal fell a distance of 300 meters to the ground. How long did it take the metal to hit the ground? What will the velocity of the metal be when it hits the ground? An object falls from the Burj Khalifa (located in United Arab Emirates) and takes 13 seconds to hit the ground. What is its velocity at impact? How tall is the building?

What is the speed of the rocket at that moment? (Neglect air resistance.) From the time the fuel runs out, how long does it take for the rocket to reach its maximum height?

- The 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. What was its initial speed (in m/s), just before the brakes were applied? What was its acceleration (in m/s2) while the brakes were applied? (Assume the initial direction of motion is the positive direction. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)arrow_forwardA billiard ball was set in motion on a counter by your mischievous little cousin who wanted the ball to hit your foot. To avoid your attention he set the ball in motion with a slow speed of 1.0 m/s (how did he know this unit?!) from a counter that is 1.1 m tall. Fortunately he missed. How long did it take to hit the floor?arrow_forwardIn a local bar, a customer slides an empty beer mug down the counter for a refill. The height of the counter is 1.14 m.

What was the direction of the mug's velocity just before it hit the floor?arrow_forward
