up a 7° incline. How long will it take for the car to stop after it
runs out of gas (if it doesn't use its brakes and there is no
friction)? How far will it travel before it stops?
A baseball is thrown vertically upward with an initial velocity of 9 m/s. Neglecting air friction, how long will it take for it to reach the top of its flight?
A ball is thrown upward. It reaches its highest point at 125 meters above the starting point and then it falls the same distance back to it's starting point. Neglecting air resistance, what is total time for the ball to return to it's starting position? Your answer should be in units of seconds.

If the height of the cliff is 100 m, what is the time of flight of the stone if air resistance is negligibly small?arrow_forwardIn the absence of air resistance, if a ball is thrown vertically upward with a certain initial speed, on returning to its original level it will have the same speed. When air resistance is a factor, will the ball be moving faster, the same, or more slowly than its throwing speed when it gets back to the same level? Why? (Physicists often use a “principle of exaggeration” to help them analyze a problem. Consider the exaggerated case of a feather, not a ball, because the effect of air resistance on the feather is more pronounced and therefore easier to visualize.)arrow_forward

Riders drop 36 m from the start until they hit a run-out at the bottom. If you give yourself a good push at the start, so that you begin your plunge moving at 2.0 m/s, how fast are you moving when you get to the bottom? How fast would you be moving if you skipped the push? The slide is steep and slippery, so assume that you can ignore friction and drag forces.arrow_forwardYou throw a toy straight up into the air with an initial speed of 5.5 m/s. How high will it go?
