A student who aspires to ace his quiz in Phys134 went to a wishing well. He dropped his first 10-peso coin and made a quick wish. Two seconds after he dropped his first coin, he threw another 10-peso coin vertically downward with a speed of 30m/s. How long will it take the second coin to overtake the first?
You decide to flip a coin to determine whether to do your physics or English homework first. The coin is flipped straight up. (1) What is the velocity of the coin at the top of its trajectory? (2) If the coin reaches a high point of 0.25 m above where you released it, what was its initial speed?
