A ball is dropped from rest from the top of a building of height h. At the same instant, a second ball is projected vertically upward from ground level, such that it has zero speed when it reaches the top of the building. When the two balls pass each other, which ball has the greater speed, or do they have the same speed? Explain. (b) Where will the two balls be when they are alongside each other? Explain

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?
As soon as a ball was allowed to fall from rest from height h, a second ball was thrown upwards from the ground in the vertical direction. For two balls to meet at height h / 2, what should the initial velocity of the second ball be?
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?
In a local bar, a customer slides an empty beer mugdown the counter for a refill. The bartender is momentarily distracted and does not see the mug, which slidesoff the counter and strikes the floor at distance d fromthe base of the counter. If the height of the counter is h,(a) with what velocity did the mug leave the counterand (b) what was the direction of the mug’s velocity justbefore it hit the floor?
Suppose a chinook salmon needs to jump a waterfallthat is 1.50 m high. If the fish starts from a distance 1.00 mfrom the base of the ledge over which the waterfall flows,(a) find the x - and y - components of the initial velocity the salmon would need to just reach the ledge at the top of itstrajectory. (b) Can the fish make this jump? (Note that a chinooksalmon can jump out of the water with an initial speedof 6.26 m/s.)
A ball is thrown with an initial speed of 20 ?/? from one end of a horizontal platform with a length of 48 ? and a height of 32 ? at angle of 37° to the the horizontal. At the same time a man who is standing on the ground starts from rest and moves with a constant acceleration of ?(see Figure). (a) Find the time of flight of the ball (b) What should be the acceleration of the man so that he can hold the ball before it falls? cos53o =sin37o=0.6 cos37o =sin53o=0.8 g=9.8 m/s2
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?
At the edge of a roof you throw ball 1 upward with an initial speed v0; a moment later you throw ball 2 downward with thesame initial speed. The balls land at the same time. Which of thefollowing statements is true for the instant just before the balls hitthe ground? A. The speed of ball 1 is greater than the speed of ball 2; B. The speed of ball 1 is equal to the speed of ball 2; C. The speedof ball 1 is less than the speed of ball 2.
A firework is projected from the level ground in such a way that v0y = 10m/s and v0x = 20 m/s.a) Find the time it takes the firework to reach its maximum height reached.b) Since the firework returns to the ground, it has the same initial and final height. Whenthis happens, the time it takes the object to land is twice the time it takes to reach its maximum height. Using this information, find the horizontal and vertical components of the velocity of the firework right as it lands.
in a circus act, an acrobat rebounds upward from the surface of a trampoline at the exact moment that another acrobat, perched 9.0 m above him, releases a ball from rest. While still in flight, the acrobat catches the ball just as it reaches him. If he left the trampoline with a speed of 7.6 m/s, how long is he in the air before he catches the ball? (FYI I don't necessarily need the answer but I would really like to know how to solve it, as I don't know how)
