A stone is thrown straight up from the edge of a roof, 650 feet above the ground, at a speed of 16 feet per second.A. Remembering that the acceleration due to gravity is −32ft/sec^2, how high is the stone 5 seconds later?B. At what time does the stone hit the ground?C. What is the velocity of the stone when it hits the ground?
You are traveling on an interstate highway at the posted speed limit of 70 mph when you see that the traffic in front of you has stopped due to an accident up ahead. You step on your brakes to slow down as quickly as possible. Assume that you to slow down to 30 mph in about 5 seconds. a. What is the magnitude of the average acceleration of the car while it is slowing down? Express your answer in feet per second squared. b. With this same average acceleration, how much longer would it take you to stop? c. What total distance would you travel from when you first apply the brakes until the car stops? Express your answer in feet.
Heather and Jerry are standing on a bridge 50 m above a river. Heather throws a rock straight down with a speed of 20  m/s. Jerry, at exactly the same instant of time, throws a rock straight up with the same speed. Ignore air resistance. a. How much time elapses between the first splash and the second splash? b. Which rock has the faster speed as it hits the water?
