The ceiling of a classroom is 3.00 m above the floor. A student tosses an apple vertically upward, releasing it 0.55 m above the floor. What is the maximum initial speed that can be given to the apple if it is not to touch the ceiling?
A ball is thrown downward from the top of a 30.0 m tower with an initial speed of 15.0 m/s. Assuming negligible air resistance, what is the speed of the ball just before hitting the ground?
Cliff height. You are climbing in the high Sierra where you suddenly find yourself at the edge of a fog-shrouded cliff. To find the height of this cliff, you drop a rock from the top and 10 s later hear the sound of it hitting the ground at the foot of the cliff. Ignoring air resistance, how high is the cliff if the speed of the sound is 330 m/s?
