- A dolphin in an aquatic show jumps straight up out of the water at a velocity of 12.5 m/s. How high (in m) does his body rise above the water? How long (in s) is the dolphin in the air? Neglect any effects due to his size or orientation.arrow_forward4. A baseball is hit at ground level. The ball reaches its maximum height above ground level 3.0 s after being hit. Then 2.5 s after reaching its maximum height, the ball barely clears a fence that is 97.5 m from where it was hit. Assume the ground is level. (a) What maximum height above ground level is reached by the ball? (b) How high is the fence? (c) How far beyond the fence does the ball strike the ground?arrow_forward1. One object is dropped from a height h = 1.0202030304040505 m (initial velocity is zero) and it hits the ground after a time t₁. A second object is launched horizontally from the same height h = 1.0202030304040505 m (as shown in the figure below) with the horizontal velocity vo = 1.0102030405 m/s, and it hits the ground after a time t2. Compute the time difference At = t₂ - t₁. (Neglect the air friction). EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER or SHOW YOUR WORK. A numerical value is required for credit.

- You are on the roof of the physics building, 46.0 m above the ground. Your physics professor, who is 1.80 m tall, is walking alongside the building at a constant speed of 1.20 m/s. (a) If you wish to drop an egg on your professor's head, how far from the building should the professor be when you release the egg? Assume that the egg is in free fall. (b) What is the impact velocity of the egg on the professor’s head?arrow_forward4. A water park is designing a new water slide that finishes with the rider flying horizontally off the bottom of the slide. The slide is designed to end 1.2 m above the water level, and the average rider is estimated to leave the bottom of the slide at 25 m/s. How far will the rider fly through the air before hitting the water?arrow_forwardA balloonist, riding in the basket of a hot air balloon that is rising vertically with a constant velocity of 22.0 m/s, releases a sandbag when the balloon is 30.0 m above the ground.

(d) What is its velocity when it returns to the level from which it started?arrow_forwardA ball is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 29.0 m/s. How high does it rise? How long does it take to reach its highest point? How long does the ball take to hit the ground after it reaches its highest point?

Neglecting air drag, a) What is the speed of the ball 2 seconds later. b) What vertical distance has the ball fallen 2.0 seconds later? You must include a sketch to solvearrow_forward
- A ball is tossed straight up from the ground. If it reaches the height of your bedroom window (2.0 m) and then falls straight back down to the ground, (g= 9.8 m/s?; Ignore air resistance and use at least 2 significant figures.) 1. What was its initial velocity? 2. How long is the ball in the air?arrow_forwardNo solution requiredarrow_forward5. You wake up in a strange room, with opaque walls, and no visible doors or windows. though there is a window on the floor, and you can see that you're in a rocket that has just taken off from the surface of an alien planet. By taking careful measurements out that window you determine that the rocket is accelerating upward at 5.31 m/s^2. When you drop a ball from a height of 2.27 m, it hits the floor 0.290 s later. What is the value of g for the alien world below you? 48.7 m/s^2 63.8 m/s^2 56.3 m/s^2 82.8 m/s^2arrow_forward
