Question 6. A golf ball rolls off a horizontal cliff with an initial speed of 10.3 m/s. The ball
falls a vertical distance of 11.6 m into a lake below. (a) How much time does the ball spend in the
air? (b) What is the speed v of the ball just before it strikes the water? Ans: 1.54 s; 18.36 m/s
A rocket starts from rest and moves upward from thesurface of the earth. For the first 10.0 s of its motion, the vertical accelerationof the rocket is given by ay = 12.80 m/s32t, where the+y-direction is upward. What is the speed of the rocket when it is 325 m above the surface of the earth?
A ball dropped from rest is traveling 13.0m/s after 0.5s. (a) How far would this ball fall in 15s and (b) where is the ball, the moon (g = 1.6m/s/s), earth (g = 9.8m/s/s), or Jupiter(g = 26.0m/s/s)?
