- A golf ball is thrown straight up from the edge of the roof of a building. A second golf ball is dropped from the roof a time of 1.18 s later. You may ignore air resistance. Part A If the height of the building is 20.7 m , what must the initial speed be of the first ball if both are to hit the ground at the same time? v= m/s Part B 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 = 9.00 m/s . h= marrow_forwardA student launches a small rocket which starts from rest at ground level. At a height h=1.04km, the rocket reaches a speed of vf=391m/s. At that height, the rocket runs out of fuel, so there is no longer any thrust propelling it. After the rocket's engine turns off at a height of h=1.04km, it continues to move upward due to the velocity that it reached. What is the rocket's acceleration, in meters per squared second, during the period from engine shutoff until it returns to the ground? Ignore air resistance.arrow_forwardChapter 06, Problem 85 Your answer is partially correct. Try again. A water slide is constructed so that swimmers, starting from rest at the top of the slide, leave the end of the slide traveling horizontally. As the drawing shows, one person hits the water 5.00 m from the end of the slide in a time of 0.454 s after leaving the slide. Ignore friction and air resistance, find the height H in the drawing.

The ball experiences air resistance that is proportional to speed of the ball. Just before hitting the ceiling the speed of the ball is 10 m/s and its retardation is 2g. The ball rebounds from the ceiling without any loss of speed and falls on the floor 2s after making impact with the ceiling. How high is the ceiling? Take g = 10 m/s².arrow_forward

What is the speed of the skier at the bottom of the slope? What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the skier and the horizontal surface?arrow_forwardA man in a hot air balloon throws a rock downward with an initial velocity of 10m/s from a height of 75m.
