A ball is thrown straight up from the edge of the roof of a building. A second ball is dropped from the roof 1.00 s later. Ignore air resistance, (a) If the height of the building is 20.0 m. what must the initial speed of the first ball be if both are to hit the ground at the same lime? On the same graph, sketch the positions of both balls as a function of time, measured from when the first ball is thrown. Consider the same situation, but now let the initial speed up of the first ball be given and treat the height h of the building as an unknown, (b) What must the height of the building be for both balls to reach the ground at the same time if (i) υ 0 is 6.0 m/s and (ii) υ 0 is 9.5 m/s? (c) If υ 0 is greater than some value υ max , no value of h exists that allows both balls to hit the ground at the same time. Solve for υ max . The value υ max has a simple physical interpretation. What is it? (d) If υ 0 is less than some value υ min , no value of h exists that allows both balls to hit the ground at the same time. Solve for υ min . The value υ min also has a simple physical interpretation. What is it?

A ball is thrown straight up from the edge of the roof of a building. A second ball is dropped from the roof a time of 1.12 s later. You may ignore air resistance.
If the height of the building is 20.4 m, what must the initial speed be of the first ball if both are to hit the ground at the same time?
Consider the same situation, but now let the initial speed v0 of the first ball be given and treat the height h of the building as an unknown. What must the height of the building be for both balls to reach the ground at the same time for v0 = 8.50 m/s.
If v0 is greater than some value vmax, a value of h does not exist that allows both balls to hit the ground at the same time. Solve for vmax.
If v0 is less than some value vmin, a value of h does not exist that allows both balls to hit the ground at the same time. Solve for vmin.
A juggler throws a bowling pin straight up with an initial speed of 6.1 m/s from an initial height of 2.8 m. How much time elapses until the bowling pin returns to the same initial height?
Answer without rounding off
The basketball bounces straight back up off the ground and reaches a maximum height of 4.00m.
a)With what speed did the ball leave the ground? (It is perfectly natural for this to be less than the speed it had before it hit the ground.)
The basketball hoop is 3.05 m above the ground. The ball will pass the position of the hoop twice –once on the way up and a second time on the way down.
b)Determine the ball's velocity (magnitude and direction) as it reaches the height of the hoop on its way down.
