3. A baseball is hit so that it travels straight upward after being struck by the bat. A fan observes that it takes 3.0 s for the ball to reach its maximum height. Find (a) its initial velocity, (b) the height it reaches. (c) After what time interval does the ball strike the ground?

A daring ranch hand sitting on a tree limb wishes to drop vertically onto a horse galloping under the tree. The constant speed of the horse is 10.0 m/s, and the distance from the limb to the level of the saddle is 3.00 m. (a) What must be the horizontal distance between the saddle and limb when the ranch hand makes his move? (b) For what time interval is he in the air?
A very strong, but inept, shot putter puts the shot straight up vertically with an initial velocity of 11.0 m/s. How long a time does he have to get out of the way if the shot was released at a height of 2.20 m and he is 1.80 m tall?
A rocket blasts off vertically from rest on the launch pad with a constant upward acceleration of 2.50 m/s2. At 30.0 s after blastoff, the engines suddenly fail, and the rocket begins free fall. How long after it was launched will the rocket fall back to the launch pad?
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. (b) What initial velocity must the second stone have if the two stones are to hit the water simultaneously?
A Wide Reciever is running along the sideline straight towards the goal at a constant speed. When he is 27 m away from the goal line he cathces the ball, but theire is a cornerback 12 m behind him moving with a connstant speed of vc=9.0 m/s what speed should the wide reveiver have to make sure he reaches the goal line just as the cornerback reaches him.
a parachutist opens his chute at time t=0, while falling vertically at a speed of 50.0 m/s. From the combined effects of gravity and air resistance, he is subject to anupward acceleration of ay= (40/T)e-t/T where T=6.8s. Find the parachutist's speed 10s after the chute is opened and the distance fallen during that period of time.
A wide receiver is running along the sideline straight toward the goal at a constant speed. When he is 27 m away from the goal line he catches the ball, but there is a cornerback 12 m behind him moving with a constant speed of vc = 9.0 m/s. What speed should the wide receiver have to make sure he reaches the goal line just as the cornerback reaches him?
A jet plane comes in for a landing with a speed of 100 m/s, and its acceleration can have a maximum magnitude of 5.00 m/s^2 as it comes to rest, from the instant the plane touches the runway, what is the minimum time interval needed before it can come to rest?
A peregrine falcon can fly at a velocity of 83.3 m/s in still air. If it takes the peregrine 17 min to travel 9.00 km straight into an oncoming wind, what is the velocity of the wind? If the peregrine flies along with the wind, how long will it take for it to travel 9.00 km?
