Victoria is standing on a boat, during a perfectly calm day. Initially, both are not moving. Then Victoria walks from one end of the boat to the other. Take the initial time to be before she walks and the final while still walking.
b) Compare the final speed of the boat with Victoria’s final speed. Are they the same or different? Why?
Two balls are thrown from a Keane Hall. One is thrown directly down and the other directly up. Both balls have the same initial speed (just different direction) and both hit the ground below. How does the speed of the two balls relate when they hit the ground? Explain.
A person on the top of a roof of a building (100 m) drops a ball. After 2s passed, a person who stands at the base of the same building throws a separate ball in the upward direction with a speed of 20 m/s. Assumes the two balls are traveling on the same vertical path.
Will the two balls collide with each other?
If so, what are their velocities as they collide with each other?

- Suppose you hold a Ping-Pong ball and a golf ball at arm’s length and drop them simultaneously. You’ll see them hit the floor at about the same time. But, if you drop them off the top of a high ladder, you’ll see the golf ball hit first. Explain.arrow_forwardTwo friends are tossing balls from the main floor of the auditorium to the balcony. One person stands exactly 4.0 m above the other person, and both release and catch the balls at the same height above their feet. The balls are always caught on their way down. The boy on the main floor releases his ball with an initial velocity of 25 m/s [up]. With what velocity should the girl on the balcony throw her ball at the same moment, so that both balls will be caught by the other person at exactly the same timearrow_forward18. A white-crowned sparrow flying horizontally with a speed of 1.80 m/s folds its wings and begins to drop in free fall. (a) How far does the sparrow fall after traveling a horizontal distance of 0.500 m? (b) If the sparrow’s initial speed is increased, does the distance of fall increase, decrease, or stay the same?

- More people end up in U.S. emergency rooms because of fall-related injuries than from any other cause. At what speed v would someone hit the ground who accidentally steps off the top rung of a 8.00 ft tall stepladder? (That step is usually embossed with the phrase "Warning! Do not stand on this step.") Ignore the effects of air resistance. Let the +y direction point vertically upward and the origin be on the ground.

When a glass slides off a horizontal countertop with a speed of 2.10 m/s. It strikes the floor broken in 0.5 s. Find (a) the height of the countertop above the floor; (b) the horizontal distance from the edge of the table to the point where the glass strikes the floor and break; (c) the horizontal and vertical components of the glass's velocity, and the magnitude and direction of its velocity, just before the glass break reaches the floor. (d) Draw x-t, y-t, Vx-t, and vyt graphs for the motion.arrow_forward3) You throw a ball straight up. The ball leaves your hand at a height of 2.00 m above the ground with a speed of 20.0 m/s (~45 mph). Ignore air resistance and use g = 10.0 m/s2. You can use a spreadsheet but show a sample calculation for the velocity and the position at t = 1.5 s. 3a.) Calculate and make a table of the height, y(t), and y-velocity, vy(t), at 0.50-second intervals until the ball hits the ground. Your table should have the units in the column headers: t (s), vy (m/s), y (m) Remember to add the ysubscripts when the motion is along the y-axis. 3b.) Use this data to draw a motion diagram for the ball at 0.50-second intervals. Label the time, y-coordinate,and the velocity at each time interval. Label the origin, starting height, maximum height, and final height.Include the instantaneous velocity vectors at each time and location of the ball. 3c.) Calculate the time it takes for the ball to hit the ground and the final velocity of the ball just as it hits the ground.…arrow_forward
