1. A stone is dropped into a well and 4.5 seconds later the sound of the splash is heard. Then a second stone is thrown downward into the well with an initial velocity Vo and the sound of the splash is heard in 4 seconds. If the velocity of sound is constant at 1120 fps, determine the initial velocity of the second stone. a. Identify the type of motion defined in the problem. b. Set up the equations of motion that is required to solve the problem. c. Solve for the unknown variables by substituting the given in the equations of motion that has been set up previously.

A dolphin in an aquatic show jumps straight up out of the water at a velocity of 13.0 m/s. (a) List the knowns in this problem. (b) How high does his body rise above the water? To solve this part, first note that the final velocity is now a known and identify its value. Then identity the unknown, and discuss how you chose the appropriate equation to solve for it. After choosing the equation, show your steps in solving for the unknown, checking units, and discuss whether the answer is reasonable. (c) How long is the dolphin in the air? Neglect any effects due to his size or orientation.
In Bosnia, the ultimate test of a young nuns courage used to be to jump off a 400-year-old bridge (destroyed in 1993; rebuilt in 2004) into the River Neretva, 23 m below the bridge. (a) How long did the jump last? (b) How fan was the jumper traveling upon impact with the river? (c) If the speed of sound in air is 340 m/s, how long after the jumper took off did a spectator on the bridge hear the splash?
A man drops a rock into a well. (a) The man hears the sound of the splash 2.40 s after he releases the rock from rest. The speed of sound in air (at the ambient temperature) is 336 m/s. How far below the top of the well is the surface of the water? (b) What If? If the travel time for the sound is ignored, what percentage error is introduced when the depth of the well is calculated?
(a) Seismographs measure the arrival times of earthquakes with a precision of 0.100 s. To get the distance to the epicenter of the quake, geologists compare the arrival times of S- and P-waves, which travel at different speeds. If S- and P-waves travel at 4.00 and 7.20 km/s, respectively, in the region considered, how precisely can the distance to the source of the earthquake be determined? (b) Seismic waves from underground detonations of nuclear bombs can be used to locate the test site and detect violations of test bans. Discuss whether your answer to (a) implies a serious limit to such detection. (Note also that the uncertainty is greater if there is an uncertainty in the propagation speeds of the S- and P-waves.)
Standing at the base of one of the cliffs of Mt. Arapiles in Victoria, Australia, a hiker hears a rock break loose from a height of 105.0 in. He can’t see the rock right away, but then does, 1.50 s later. (a) How far above the hiker is the rock when he can hear it? (b) How much time does he have to move before the rock hits his head?
During a bungee jump, a student (i) initially moves downward with increasing speed and then (ii) moves downward with decreasing speed, (iii) reaches the turnaround point (that is, the low point of the motion), (iv) moves upward with increasing speed, and finally (v) moves upward with decreasing speed. For each situation (i) through (v), state the direction of the bungee jumpers velocity and acceleration (that is, upward, downward, or zero). Note: (i), (ii), (iv), and (v) refer to intervals of motion, whereas (iii) refers to an instant.
A student writes, "A bird that is diving for prey has a speed of -10 m / s." What is wrong with the student's statement? What has the student actually described? Explain.
Trying to determine its depth, a rock climber drops a pebble into a chasm and hears the pebble strike the ground 3.245 later.

(b) What is the percentage of error that would result from assuming the speed of sound is infinize?
