Chapter 2, Problem 74PCE
Predict/Explain A carpenter on the roof of a building accidentally drops her hammer. As the hammer falls it passes two windows of equal height, as shown in Figure 2-39. (a) Is the increase in speed of the hammer as it drops past window 1 greater than, less than, or equal to the increase in speed as it drops past window 2? (b) Choose the best explanation from among the following
- I. The greater speed at window 2 results in a greater increase in speed.
- II. Constant acceleration means the hammer speeds up the same amount for each window.
- III. The hammer spends more time dropping past window 1.

after leaving the thrower's hand. Assume that the throwers hand is 2 m above the roof of the
building. Find :
a) the initial velocity of the ball.
b) The time taken to reach the maximum height.
vc) The maximum height from the roof of the building/
d) The velocity of the ball when it strikes the ground.
e) The position and velocity of the ball 1 s and 5 s after leaving the thrower's hand.

Problem 2-62*** (from SP-02)
(8-th edition)
(9-th, 10-th edition)
A basketball player grabbing a rebound jumps 76.0 cm vertically. How much total
time (ascent and descent) goes the player spend (a) in the top 15.0 cm of this jump and
(b) in the bottom 15.0 cm? Do your results explain why such players seem to hang in the
air at the top of a jump?
((Solution))
d =0.76 m.
A ball is dropped from rest from the top of a building of height h. At the same instant, a second
ball is projected vertically upward from ground level, such that it has zero speed when it reaches
the top of the building.
When the two balls pass each other, which ball has the greater speed, or do they have
the same speed? Explain.
(b)
Where will the two balls be when they are alongside each other? Explain
