- While standing at the second floor balcony in an apartment building at 2 meters above the ground, Peter throws a tennis ball upward to Tom, who is standing at the seventh floor balcony at 10 meters above the ground. The velocity with which Peter throws the ball is equal to 13 m/s. Tom fails to catch the ball while it is still moving upward. The ball reaches the highest point in its motion trajectory and falls downward and lands in Tom's hands. What is the velocity magnitude of the ball when Tom catches it?arrow_forwardWhile standing at the second floor balcony in an apartment building at 3 meters above the ground, Peter throws a tennis ball upward to Tom, who is standing at the seventh floor balcony at 12 meters above the ground. The velocity with which Peter throws the ball is equal to 17 m/s. Tom successfully catches the ball while it is still moving upward. What is the velocity magnitude of the ball when Tom catches it?arrow_forwardTwo cars approach a street corner at right angles to each other. One is red and one is blue.

When the car was 15 meters away from where I was standing, the ball that I was holding slipped in my hand and the car arrived at the bridge when the ball hit the ground. What was the speed of the car? (Assume that the final velocity of the ball is NOT zero)arrow_forward
- Two students are on a balcony 18.6 m above the street. One student throws a ball (ball 1) vertically downward at 15.1 m/s; at the same instant, the other student throws a ball (ball 2) vertically upward at the same speed.

Rock A is thrown vertically upward with speed v0v0 and rock B is thrown vertically downward with speed v0v0. Rock A and rock B strike the ground at times tAtA and tBtB, respectively. Consider the positive vertical direction to be upward. (a) On the axes given below, sketch and label graphs of the velocity as a function of time for rock A and rock B. Label the time tBtB.

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^2arrow_forwardMoving sidewalks are installed every other 50 meters along the entire stretch of an airport walkway. These sidewalks move at a constant speed of 1 m/s. A lady passenger takes one of the sidewalks to go from one point to the next.
