Bob proposed Alice to a marriage on the very top of a 30m building. Alice said yes. Bob then put the ring on Alice’s finger. Alice was very happy. She threw her hands up in the air. Unfortunately, the ring slipped from her finger and fell down due to gravity.Bob set up a camera to record the moment. Thus, he look at the footage and determine that the ring was going out of Alice’s hand with speed of vi =10m/s at an angle of θ=30 . The dimension of the building is given below. (a) If the ring were to land on the terrace, how long would it take?(b) If the ring were to land on the Lawn, how long would it take?(c) Where should Bob search for the ring? Terrace or lawn? An answer with no support reasoning will recieve no credit.
You wake up in a room with no windows. You drop a ball from a height of 1.79 m and it hits the floor 0.242 s after you drop it. This time you suspect you are on a rocket that has just left the surface of the Earth, and is still not too far above the ground. What do you deduce the rockets acceleration to be? 102.6 m/s^2 51.3 m/s^2 70.9 m/s^2 61.1 m/s^2
An attacker at the base of a castle wall 3.60 m high throws a rock straight up with speed 8.20 m/s at a height of 1.50 m above the ground. (a) If so, what is the rock's speed at the top? If not, what initial speed must the rock have to reach the top? m/s(b) Find the change in the speed of a rock thrown straight down from the top of the wall at an initial speed of 8.20 m/s and moving between the same two points. m/s(c) Does the change in speed of the downward-moving rock agree with the magnitude of the speed change of the rock moving upwards between the same elevations? Explain physically why or why not.
