4. In the absence of air resistance, all objects dropped near the Earth's surface accelerate at the same rate. If two similar objects are dropped, one a short time interval At after the other, a. What can you say about the relative speeds of the two objects at any instant after both objects are in free fall? In other words, will ball B be moving faster, slower, or at the same speed as ball A? Why?

A seagull flies at a velocity of 9.00 m/s straight into the wind. (a) If it takes the bird 20.0 min to travel 6.00 km relative to the Earth, what is the velocity of the wind? (b) If the bird turns around and flies with the wind, how long will he take to return 6.00 km? (c) Discuss how the wind affects the total round-trip time compared to what it would be with no wind.
A spacecraft lands on a newly discovered planet orbiting the star 51 Pegasi. To measure the acceleration from gravity on the planet, an astronaut drops a rock from a height of 2 m. A precision timer indicates that it takes the rock 0.71 s to fall to the surface. What is the acceleration from gravity on this planet?
An ice sled powered by a rocket engine sum from rest on a large frozen lake and accelerates at + 40 ft/s2. After some time t1, the rocket engine is shut down and the sled moves with constant velocity v for a time t2. If the total distance traveled by the sled is 17 500 ft and the total time is 90 s. find (a) the times t1 and t2 and (b) the velocity v. At the 17 500-ft mark, the sled begins to accelerate at 20 ft/s2. (c) What is the final position of the sled when it comes to rest? (d) How long does it take to come to rest?
A sandal is dropped from the top of a 15.0-m-high mast on a ship moving at 1.75 m/s due south. Calculate the velocity of the sandal when it hits the deck of the ship: (a) relative to the ship and (b) relative to a stationary observer on shore. (c) Discuss how the answers give a consistent result for the position at which the sandal hits the deck.
A sedan moves relative to the road at 20mph. A sports car is catching up with it by driving at 50mph (relative to the road) Is the sedan's trunk to the rear of its hood a) in the earth's frame? b) in the sport car's frame? c) in the sedan's frame?

A basketball player passes the ball to a teammate who catches it 11 ft above the court, just above the rim of the basket, and slam-dunks it through the hoop. (This play is called an “alley-oop.”) The first player releases the ball 5 ft above the court with an initial vertical velocity of 21 ft/sec. How long is the ball in the air before being caught, assuming it is caught as it rises?
1. The 5,000kg final stage of a spaceship ejects the 10,000kg second stage. Before ejection, the two stages together travel with a velocity of 200m/s. If after ejection the second stage travels at 50m/s opposite the direction of its initial motion, what is the velocity of the final stage?
A person holding a basketball throws it straight up and then lets the basketball fall to the floor without catching it. What is the speed of the basketball right before it hits the ground? Does it have the same speed, less speed, or more speed compared to when the basketball left the person's hands?
Fast pls in 5 min i will give u like for sure

3. A spacecraft flying in a straight line with velocity of 75 km/s fires its rocket motors for only 6.0 s. At the end of this time, its velocity becomes 120 km/s. Further, it travels with the same constant velocity. i) Find the distance travelled by the spacecraft in the first 10 seconds after the motors were started. ii) Calculate the average velocity of the travel of the spacecraft.
