6. A crazy, young boy on a sled is able to get up to an incredible speed of 22.5 m/s (yes, he is wearing a helmet!) along a frictionless horizontal surface while he approaches an icy hill with a vertical height of 11 m, as shown. He makes it to the top, and then flies off horizontally from the ledge of the hill. How far from the base of the hill does the boy land? 225 mis Figure 1

(a) The blue ball reaches the ground first, (b) The balls reach the ground at the same instant, (c) The red ball reaches the ground first, (d) Both balls hit the ground with the same speed, (e) None of statements(a) through(d) is true.
Suppose you throw a rock nearly straight up at a coconut in a palm tree, and the rock misses on the way up but hits the coconut on the way down. Neglecting air resistance, how does the speed of the rock when it hits the coconut on the way down compare with what it would have been if it had hit the coconut on the way up? Is it more likely to dislodge the coconut on the way up or down? Explain,

Sasha stands on the ground and tosses a baseball perfectly vertically up to her friend Helge, who catches it by reaching outside the window of his apartment building. She gives the ball an initial speed of vi= 19.7 m/s, and Helge catches it 1.40 s later when it reaches his hands. If Helge were to drop the baseball from rest at this point, what would be its final speed vf when it reaches Sasha’s hands down below? (She catches the ball at the same height from which she tossed it.)For your limit check, investigate what happens to vf as Sasha’s launch speed gets very large (i.e., as vi→∞). This is my question. I am also trying to figure out what formulas I would use to solve it.
You are on the roof of the lecture hall, 51.8 m above ground. As your physics professor, who is 1.8 m tall, walks towards the hall at a constant speed of 1.2 m/s. If you wish to drop an egg on your professor's head, where should the professor be when you release the egg? Assume egg is in freefall and air resistance is ignored.
9: An archer fires an arrow straight up into the air with a speed v0=35.6m/s. Neglect air resistance. a. Find the maximum height, hℎ, in meters, reached by the arrow. b. In terms of known quantities, write an expression for the time the arrow is in the air until it returns to launch height.

A projectile is launched on the Earth with a certain initial velocity and moves without air resistance. Another projectile is launched with the same initial velocity on the Moon, where the acceleration due to gravity is one-sixth as large. How does the range of the projectile on the Moon compare with that of the projectile on the Earth? (a) It is one-sixth as large, (b) It is the same, (c) It is V5 limes larger, (d) It is 6 times larger, (e) It is 6limes larger.
(a) A daredevil is attempting to jump his motorcycle over a line of buses parked end to end by driving up a 32° ramp at a speed of 40.0 m/s (144 km/h). How many buses can he clear if the top of the takeoff ramp is at the same height as the bus tops and the buses are 20.0 m long? (b) Discuss what your answer implies about the margin of error in this act—that is, consider how much greater the range is than the horizontal distance he must travel to miss the end of the last bus. (Neglect air resistance.)
A home run is hit in such a way that the baseball just clears a wall 21 m high, located 130 m from home plate. The ball is hit at an angle of 35 to the horizontal, and air resistance is negligible. Find (a) the initial speed of the ball, (b) the time it takes the ball to reach the wall, and (c) the velocity components and the speed of the ball when it reaches the wall. (Assume the ball is hit at a height of 1.0 m above the ground.)
An aging coyote cannot run fast enough to catch a road-runner. He purchases on eBay a set of jet-powered roller skates, which provide a constant horizontal acceleration of 15.0 m/s2 (Fig. P1.78). The coyote starts at rest 70.0 in from the edge of a cliff at the instant the roadrunner zips past in the direction of the cliff, (a) Determine the minimum constant speed the roadrunner must have to reach the cliff before the coyote. At the edge of the cliff', the roadrunner escapes by making a sudden turn, while the coyote continues straight ahead. The coyotes skates remain horizontal and continue to operate while he is in flight, so his acceleration while in the air ss (15.0 - 9.80j) m/s2, (b) The cliff is 100 m above the flat floor of the desert. Determine how far from the base of the vertical cliff the coyote lands, (c) Determine the components of the coyotes impact velocity.
