If a stone is dropped from the top of a tower with initial release velocity equal to zero, it falls a distance d in time t given by d = ½ gt2 where g is acceleration due to gravity (g = 9.8 m/s2). Its speed v at time t is given by v = gt. Suppose you go to the top of a tower and drop a stone. It hits the ground after 4.5 seconds. By how much does it drop in 1 second? How much is its displacement between 1 s and 2 s? What is the height of the tower?
Drop = 14.7 m, Displacement = 4.9 m, Height = 19.6 m
Drop = 4.9 m, Displacement = 14.7 m, Height = 99 m
Drop = 4.9 m, Displacement = 14.7 m, Height = 19.6 m
A small rock is thrown vertically upward with a speed of22.0 m/s from the edge of the roof of a 30.0-m-tall building. The rockdoesn’t hit the building on its way back down and lands on the streetbelow. Ignore air resistance. What is the speed of the rock just before it hits the street?
Crickets Chirpy and Milada jump from the top of a vertical cliff. Chirpy drops downward and
reaches the ground in 3.10 s, while Milada jumps horizontally with an initial speed of 0.94 m/s.
How far from the base of the cliff wilI Milada hit the ground? Ignore air resistance.
