*60. Go Two arrows are shot vertically upward. The second arrow is shot after the first one, but while the first is still on its way up. The initial speeds are such that both arrows reach their maximum heights at the same instant, although these heights are different. Suppose that the initial speed of the first arrow is 25.0 m/s and that the second arrow is fired 1.20 s after the first. Determine the initial speed of the second arrow.

A projectile is thrown from the top of a building with an initial velocity of 30 m/s in thehorizontal direction. If the top of the building is 30 m above the ground, a) how long isthe projectile in the air? b) With what speed and angle will the projectile be moving justbefore it strikes the ground? (Hint: final speed = 38.6 m/s)
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 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?
An airplane, starting from rest, move down the runway at constant for 18 s and then takes off at a speed of 60 m/s. What is the average acceleration of the plane?
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 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 chinook salmon has a maximum underwater speed of 3.58 m/s, but it can jump out of water with a speed of 6.26 m/s. To move upstream past a waterfall, the salmon does not need to jump to the top of the fall, but only to a point in the fall where the water speed is less than 3.58 m/s; it can then swim up the fall for the remaining distance. Because the salmon must make forward progress in the water, let's assume it can swim to the top if the water speed is 3.00 m/s. (a) If water has a speed of 2.02 m/s as it passes over a ledge, how far below the ledge will the water be moving with a speed of 3.00 m/s? (Note that water undergoes projectile motion once it leaves the ledge. The water's velocity is initially horizontal as it passes over the ledge. Enter the magnitude of the distance only.) Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%. Double check your calculations. _______m (b) If the salmon is able to jump vertically upward from the base of the fall, what is the maximum…
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?
You can use any coordinate system you like to solve aprojectile motion problem. To demonstrate the truth of this statement, consider a ball thrown off the top of a building witha velocity vS at an angle u with respect to the horizontal. Letthe building be 50.0 m tall, the initial horizontal velocity be9.00 m/s, and the initial vertical velocity be 12.0 m/s. Chooseyour coordinates such that the positive y - axis is upward, thex - axis is to the right, and the origin is at the point where theball is released. (a) With these choices, find the ball’s maximumheight above the ground and the time it takes to reachthe maximum height. (b) Repeat your calculations choosingthe origin at the base of the building.
