Suppose that a cannon fires a cannon ball of mass 25 kg straight up with an initial
velocity of 30 meters per second. If the air resistance experienced by the cannon ball is
half of the cannon ball's velocity at each moment in time, what is the maximum height
the cannon ball will reach, supposing the cannon ball leaves the cannon at a height of
one meter above the ground?
A body is dropped freely from the roof of a building, traveling in the middle of the last second of its fall.How long does it take to fall?

How high does the ball bounce?arrow_forwardWhen an object accelerates at 9.8 m/s2 (or 32 ft/s2), we say it accelerates with 1 g. This is true whether the object is falling under gravity, or due to something else. Using the constant-acceleration approximation, determine how many g's are involved in a football kickoff.
