- A boy throws a ball upward in the vertical direction at the base of a hill 40.0 meter high while his friend simultaneously drops another ball from the top of that hill. The two balls collide at a height of 20.0 meter. Find the initial speed (m/s) of the ball that was thrown upward. Express all answers in sig figure And scientific notation.arrow_forwardAn object is thrown upward with an initial velocity of 17.3 m/s from a location where the acceleration due to gravity has magnitude g = 9.79 m/s². Assuming it moves in "free fall", the object moves upward what distance before starting to return downward? Give your answer, in meters, with appropriate significant figures.arrow_forwardA student holds a ball 1.55 meters above the ground and drops it. Her friend uses a stopwatch and measures a time of 0.57 seconds for the ball to hit the ground. Since the value for g obtained from the data is inaccurate, one of the measurements must have been incorrect. Assuming the time was exactly accurate, from what height was the ball actually dropped?arrow_forward
- A test rocket is fired vertically upward from a well. A catapult gives it initial speed 60 m/s at ground level. Its engines then fire and it accelerates upward at 5.0 m/s² until it reaches an altitude of 1,100 m. At that point its engines fail and the rocket goes into free-fall, with an acceleration of g=9.80 m/s². What is its velocity just before it collides with the Earth? (You will need to consider the motion while the engine is operating separately from the free-fall motion.) [Give your answer in m/s to the nearest 0.1 m/s]arrow_forwardA person standing on the roof of a building throws a ball directly upward. The ball misses the rooftop on its way down and eventually strikes the ground. The function s(1) = -16r + 64t + 80 describes the ball's height above the ground, s(t), in feet, t seconds after it was thrown. a. Find the ball's average velocity between the time it was thrown and 2 seconds later. b. Find the ball's average velocity between 2 and 4 seconds after it was thrown. c. What do the signs in your answers to parts (a) and (b) mean in terms of the direction of the ball's motion?arrow_forwardCompute your Average velocity in the following two cases: (a) You walk 61.4 m at a speed of 2.47 m/s and then run 61.4 m at a speed of 3.34 m/s along a straight track. (B) You walk for 1 minute at a speed of 2.47 m/s and then run for 1.8 minutes at 3.34 m/s along a straight trackarrow_forward
- 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/sarrow_forwardThe velocity of a ball projected upward from ground level is given by v(t) = −32t + 48, where t is the time in seconds and v is the velocity in feet per second. Find the velocity when t = 1.arrow_forwardA student holds a ball 1.55 meters above the ground and drops it. Her friend uses a stopwatch and measures a time of 0.57 seconds for the ball to hit the ground. The ball accelerates due to gravity. Using the equation y = 1/2??2 where y is the height, to compute g , calculate the acceleration of the ball.arrow_forward
- A motorist drives south at 10.0 m/s for 3.00 min, then turns west and travels at 15.0 m/s for 2.00 min, and finally travels northwest at 20.0 m/s for 1.00 min. For this 6.00-min trip, find the average velocity. Let the positive x axis point east.arrow_forwardA long jumper leaves the ground at an angle of 29 degrees and lands 8.2 meters away. With what speed did he jump? Please answer in m/sarrow_forwardThe tallest tree in a California national park is 112 m tall. Suppose that a ball is thrown downward from the top of that tree with a certain initial velocity. As the ball accelerates due to gravity (-9.81 m/s/s), it takes 3.856 s to hit the ground. With what initial velocity was the ball thrown toward the ground? (Hint: note the direction of the ball's drop when considering its displacement)arrow_forward
