A student wishes to design an experiment to show that the acceleration of an object is independent of the object's velocity. To do this, ball A is launched horizontally with some initial speed at an elevation 1.5 meters above the ground, ball B is dropped from rest 1.5 meters above the ground, and ball C is launched vertically with some initial speed at an elevation 1.5 meters above the ground. What information would the student need to collect about each ball in order to test the hypothesis?
A convertible and a minivan leave a highway junction at the same time. The convertible travels west at 55 miles per hour and the minivan travels north at 65 miles per hour. Assuming the two vehicles do not deviate off course, how far apart are they after 2.5 hours?
Researchers doing satellite tracking of albatrosses in the Southern Ocean observe a bird maintaining sustained flight speeds of 35 m/s- nearly 80 mph!! This seems surprisingly fast until you realize that the particular bird was flying with the wind, which was moving 23 m/s. What is the bird’s airspeed- its speed relative to the air?
A train travels North at a speed of 50 m/s. A passenger walks toward the rear of the train at a speed of 2m/s. A person standing on a platform at the train station observes the motion of the pssenger as the train passes. According to the information from the previous paragraph and the diagram, what is the relative speed of the passenger with respect to the train station platform?
You are a construction worker standing still on 12th Ave N in Fargo, and you watch a minivan drive past at 25 mi/hr eastward. A kid in the back throws a ball at his brother in the front seat at 19 mi/hr. How fast does the ball move, as observed by you? (Positive indicates east, negative indicates west.) ? How fast does the ball move, according to the kid who threw it? If instead the kid in the front seat throws a rock at the kid in the back seat at 19 mi/hr, how fast would you observe the rock to travel?
Abby and her friends rode in a hot air balloon that is descending with a constant vertically downward velocity 0f 4.00 m/s. Abby throws a bouncy ball with a horizontal velocity of 2.50 m/s relative to her. She sees the ball hit the ground 2.00 seconds after being thrown. Assume that the balloon continues its downward descent with the same constant speed of 4.00 m/s. Which of the following is closest to the distance of the ball from Abby at the instant the former hits the ground? a. 10.00 m b. 15.50 m c. 23.1 m d. 20.2 m

4 seconds after Car B passes through the intersection shown, Car A passes through the same intersection. The speed of Car A is 70 km/h and the speed of Car B is 50 km/h. Knowing that the speeds of Car A and Car B remain constant throughout their motion, determine 1. The relative velocity of B with respect to A in m/s and 2. The shortest distance between Car A and Car B three (3) seconds after car A has passed through the intersection in meters
