A rock is thrown downward from the top of a 40.0 m tower with an initial speed of 12
m/s. Assuming negligible air resistance, what is the speed of the rock just before hitting the ground?

Suppose you throw a rock nearly straight up at a coconut in a palm tree, and the rock misses on the way up but hits the coconut on the way down. Neglecting air resistance, how does the speed of the rock when it hits the coconut on the way down compare with what it would have been if it had hit the coconut on the way up? Is it more likely to dislodge the coconut on the way up or down? Explain.

A student in Physics 211 decides to do an experiment. They travel to a city and climb to the roof of a building that is 3.0 x 102 m tall. Then, at the same instant, they drop one rock while a second rock is thrown downward with an initial speed of 16 m/s. Assume both rocks experience negligible air resistance while falling. How much EARLIER does the thrown rock strike the ground?
A) 1.1 s
B) 1.5 s
C) 1.4 s
D) they land exactly at the same time

- 6: In World War II, there were several reported cases of airmen who jumped from their flaming airplanes with no parachute to escape certain death. Some fell about 20,000 feet (6000 m), and some of them survived, with few life-threatening injuries. For these lucky pilots, the tree branches and snow drifts on the ground allowed their deceleration to be relatively small. Assume a pilot’s speed upon impact was 54 m/s and the trees and snow stopped him over a distance of 7.6 m. Use a coordinate system where down is positive and, assuming constant acceleration, find the pilot’s acceleration after impact, in meters per second squared.arrow_forwardWendy walks 10 m in one direction at 2 m/s, then runs 6 m in the same direction at 6 m/s.
