Two children are playing on a 151-m-tall bridge. One child drops a rock (initial velocity zero) at t = 0. The other waits 1.1 s and then throws a rock
downward with an initial speed Vo. If the two rocks hit the ground at the same time, what is vo?
m/s
You throw a ball straight up from a roof of a building. The ball leaves your
hand at a point even with the roof railing with an upward speed of 15m/s.
The ball is then in free fall. On its way back down, it just misses the railing.
After 6.0s from release, the ball then hits the ground. What is the velocity
of the ball upon impact on the ground?
198.5m/s
-198.5m/s
352m/s
-352m/s
You throw an object directly up into the air and then catch it when it comes back down. It hits your hand at a speed of 7 m/s on the way down. What was the initial velocity of the ball? Use a kinematic approach.
