1. Mr Garcia is standing from a 100 ft tower where he throws a ball vertically into the air with an initial velocity of 50 feet per second. Mr Cruz, who is standing at the ground, also throws the ball that he holds vertically at the rate of 75 feet per second the same time S1 as Mr. Garcia's. (a) Equation of displacement as a function of time of Mr Garcia's ball (b) Equation of displacement as a function of time of Mr Cruz's S2 ball (c) Equation relating the displacements of the ball of Mr Garcia and Mr Cruz 100 ft (d) Determine the time in seconds when both balls be at the same height from the ground. (e) Also, determine the position of the ball of Mr Cruz (in reference to the ground) in feet when both balls are at the same height.

2. Wellington Wildcat is rushing to get to a parade in time to be the grand marshal. He’s standing in theback of a flatbed truck while McFogg the Dog races at 25 m/s towards town. Suddenly, McFogg sees atiny maple leaf in the road 55 m ahead, and, being a proud Canadian, slams on the brakes to protect thesacred totem. Since McFogg is known to ride the brakes like a real jerk, let’s assume his reaction time tohit the breaks is essentially zero.A. Can McFogg actually stop before the truck reaches the leaf? The coefficients of friction betweenrubber tires and dry concrete are: μs = 1.00, μk = 0.80. When answering this question, be sure toinclude a free-body diagram representing the truck and its stellar mascots as a single object.B. Now here’s the real serious question: Is it possible for McFogg to stop short of the leaf such thatWellington does not slip and slide into the back of the truck cab? The coefficients of friction forWellington’s shoes on the bed of the truck are: μs = 0.60, μk…
Henrietta is going off to her physics class, jogging down the sidewalk at a speed of 3.30 m/s. Her husband Bruce suddenly realizes that she left in such a hurry that she forgot her lunch of bagels, so he runs to the window of their apartment, which is a height 52.5 m above the street level and directly above the sidewalk, to throw them to her. Bruce throws them horizontally at a time 9.00 s after Henrietta has passed below the window, and she catches them on the run. You can ignore air resistance. I. With what initial speed must Bruce throw the bagels so Henrietta can catch them just before they hit the ground? (Express your answer in meters per second.) II. Where is Henrietta when she catches the bagels? (Express your answer in meters.)
Two ducks, Donald and Cassiopeia, are gliding gracefully toward eachother along a pond, in a straight line. Donald is initially moving at v =0.500 m/s, and begins accelerating at 0.100 m/s2 at t = 0 s. Cassiopeiamoves at a constant speed of v = 0.700 m/s. If they are initially separatedby 25.0 m, where will they collide? Take Donald’s initial position as theorigin. How long will it take for them to collide?
In the 1991 World Track and Field Championships in Tokyo, Mike Powell jumped 8.95 m, breaking by a full 5 cm the 23-year long-jump record set by Bob Beamon. Assume that Powell’s speed on takeoff was 9.5 m/s (about equal to that of a sprinter) and that g 9.80 m/s2 in Tokyo. How much less was Powell’s range than the maximum possible range for a particle launched at the same speed?
A car is moving towards the left, which is the negative X direction. It travels 49.2 m during a 7.83-s time interval. What is the value of the X component of the car’s average velocity, in meters per second, during the given time interval?
A dolphin in an aquatic show jumps straight up out of the water at a velocity of 15 m/s. A: How long is the dolphin in the air in seconds? Neglect any effects due to his size or orientation.
I took 2.28km and converted it to 2280 meters then divided by 3200 and ended up with .71m/s but it keeps saying that its incorrect. Im not sure where I keep messing up. John walks 1.80 kmkm north, then turns right and walks 1.40 kmkm east. His speed is 1.60 m/sm/sduring the entire stroll. What is the magnitude of his displacement, from beginning to end? (2.28) If Jane starts at the same time and place as John, but walks in a straight line to the endpoint of John's stroll, at what speed should she walk if she wants to arrive at the endpoint just when John does?
My pug/bulldog mix, Georgia, who is blind and deaf, gets a whiff of her dinner. As soon as it registers to her that it's dinnertime, she runs 4.12 meters from the middle of our living room to our kitchen, where she is satiated with her grub. If it takes her 4.45 s to get to the kitchen, what was her speed in m/s to the nearest hundredth?
A dolphin in an aquatic show jumps straight up out of thewater at a velocity of 13.0 m/s. (a) List the knowns in thisproblem. (b) How high does his body rise above the water?To solve this part, first note that the final velocity is now aknown and identify its value. Then identify the unknown, anddiscuss how you chose the appropriate equation to solve forit. After choosing the equation, show your steps in solving forthe unknown, checking units, and discuss whether the answeris reasonable. (c) How long is the dolphin in the air? Neglectany effects due to his size or orientation
An inquisitive physics student and mountain climber climbs a 51.0-m-high cliff that overhangs a calm pool of water. He throws two stones vertically downward, 1.00 s apart, and observes that they cause a single splash. The first stone has an initial speed of 2.06 m/s. (a) How long after release of the first stone do the two stones hit the water?
You are on the roof of a Physics Building, 21 m above the ground. Your physics professor, who is 1.71 m tall, is approaching the building at constant speed of 2.04 m/s. If you wish to drop an egg on his head, how far should your professor be when you release the egg?
If a ball is thrown straight up into the air with an initial velocity of 70 ft/s, it height in feet after ? second is given by y=70t−16t^2. Find the average velocity for the time period begining when t=2 and lasting 0.1 seconds = 0.01 seconds= 0.001 seconds= Finally based on the above results, guess what the instantaneous velocity of the ball is when ?=2.
