A building is under construction, and a construction worker is standing on top of a 130 m high elevator shaft. The worker accidentally drops his hammer down the shaft. What fraction of the total airborne time does the hammer spend in the top 75% of the falling distance?

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 6 times larger. (d) It is 6 times larger. (e) It is 36 times larger.

A rail gun shoots a projectile in a straight line with acceleration aa and in time tt as defined by the equation a(t)=3−2t. If the projectile from the launcher reaches a velocity of 10 at t=1 and if s(t) is the distance of the projectile from the rail gun at time t, find s(5)−s(1)
The sport with the fastest moving ball is jai alai, where measured speeds have reached 303 km/h. If a professional jai alai player faces a ball at that speed and involuntarily blinks, he blacks out the scene for 100 ms. How far does the ball move during the blackout?
A rescue helicopter is hovering over a person whose sailboat has capsized. One of the rescuers tosses a life preserver straight down to the person with an initial speed of 1.25 m/s and observes that it takes 1.75 s to reach the water. How high above the water was the preserver released? Note that the downdraft of the helicopter reduces the effect of air resistance on the falling life preserver, so that an acceleration equal to that due to gravity is reasonable.
