A laptop is projected horizontally from the rooftop of a condominium 138 m high. The laptop hits the ground at a point 49 m horizontally away from and below the point of release. What is the speed of the laptop just before it strikes the ground? Use g=9.8 m/s2 . Round off answer up to two decimal places. Include units (abbreviation only).
Your friend is standing at the balcony of a building which is H meter high from the ground while
you are standing at the parking lot situated at the ground level. Now you realize that you got the
wrong keys of your car so you decided to throw the wrong keys to your friend and ask her to
drop the original keys. She dropped the keys and at the same instant you threw the keys
straight up with a speed of u. Determine the height at which both sets of keys cross each other.
Take H=160 m,u=40 m/s and g=10 m/s^2
Daniel takes his two dogs, Pauli the Pointer and Newton the Newfoundland, out to a field and lets them loose to exercise. Both dogs sprint away in different directions while Daniel stands still. From Daniel's point of view, Newton runs due North at 3.90m/s, but from Pauli's point of view, Newton appears to be moving at 1.50 m/s due East. What must Pauli's velocity relative to Daniel be for this to be true? Express your answer in terms of the ? and ?‑components if North is the +? direction and East is the +? direction.
a) ?-component (m/s):
?-component (m/s):
b) Express your answer as a magnitude and an angle measured counter‑clockwise from due East.
