building and it falls for 2 seconds. Buzz knows that gravitational acceleration on Zook is 5 (m/s)/s.
a) EXPLAIN how you would use the How fast method to determine the speed of the stone when it reaches the ground as well as the average speed of
the stone during this time. Give the speed and average speed of the stone.
b) EXPLAIN how you would use the How-far method to determine height of the building. Give the height of the building.

- In three different driving tests, a car moves with constant speed v0. In case 1, the car passes over a mark painted on a horizontal, straight section of road. In case 2, the car passes over a mark painted at the crest of a small hill. In case 3, the car passes over a mark painted at the bottom of a small dip. The hill and the dip are circular in profile, with the same radius (Fig. P4.36). Rank the cases from greatest to least according to the magnitude of the acceleration of the car when it passes the mark. Explain. FIGURE P4.36arrow_forwardWhile strolling downtown on a Saturday Afternoon, you stumble across an old car show. As you are walking along an alley toward a main street, you glimpse a particularly stylish Alpha Romeo pass by. Tall buildings on either side of the alley obscure your view, so you see the car only as it passes between the buildings. Thinking back to your physics class, you realize that you can calculate the cars acceleration. You estimate the width of the alleyway between the two buildings to be 4 m. The car was in view for 0.5 s. You also heard the engine rev when the car started from a red light, so you know the Alpha Romeo started from rest 2 s before you first saw it. Find the magnitude of its acceleration.arrow_forwardThe bola is a traditional weapon used for tripping up or grounding an animal (Fig. P4.35).
