Two students are on a balcony a distance h above the street. One student throws a ball vertically downward at a speed vi, at the same time, the other student throws a ball vertically upward at the same speed. Answer the following symbolically in terms of vi, g, h. and t. (a) What is the time interval between when the first ball strikes the ground and the second ball strikes the ground? (b) Find the velocity of each ball as it strikes the ground, (c) How far apart are the balls at a time t after they are thrown and before they strike the ground?
New York Rangers defenseman Daniel Girardi stands at the goal and passes a hockey puck 20 m and 45 from straight down the ice to left wing Chris Kreider waiting at the blue line. Kreider waits for Giran:li to reach the blue line and passes the puck directly across the ice to him 10 m away. What is the final displacement of the puck? See the following figure.
An airplane flying horizontally with a speed of 500 km/h at a height of 800 m drops a crate of supplies (see the following figure). If the parachute fails to open, how far in front of the release point does the crate hit the ground?
A golfer on a fairway is 70 m away from the green, which sits below the level of the fairway by 20 m. If the golfer hits the ball at an angle of 40 with an initial speed of 20 m/s, how close to the green does she come?
I'm not sure how to solve this! I tried and got 1.3 / 2.4 seconds. Am i right? Could you explain how to do it if i'm not? Cheers ! In a classic Seinfeld episode, Jerry tosses a loaf of bread (a marble rye) straight upward to his friend George who is leaning out of a third-story window. If the loaf of bread leaves Jerry's hand at a height of 1 m with an initial velocity of 18 m/sec, write an equation for the vertical position of the bread s (in meters) t seconds after release. How long will it take the bread to reach George if he catches the bread on the way up at a height of 16 m? Round to the nearest tenth of a second.
An object is shot horizontally off a cliff which is 19.95 meters high. The forward speed when it is fired is 6.321. How far forward from the firing point does it land? (Your answer should be in meters, but don't write the unit; just the nuumber.) Use the acceleration due to gravity near the earth's surface, g=10m/s^2 (Remember that the horizontal and vetical motion can be treated seperately, so you can first find the time of flight, then figure out how far foward it moves in that time)
A golfer strikes a golf ball with an initial velocity of 45 m/s at an angle of 40° to the horizon. What is the balls velocity just before it strikes the ground? What is the y velocity at the apex of the ball’s motion? Calculate the total time the ball will be in the air. Calculate the maximum range of the ball (how far does it go?) Calculate the maximum height reached by the ball?
A projectile fired from a gun at the angle 75.0 degrees above the horizontal direction has an initial velocity equal to 35m/s. A- what are the vertical and horizontal components of the acceleration of the projectile? B- what is the maximum height the projectile will travel too? C- how far away the projectile will hit the ground?
You tossed a ball horizontally on the top floor of a building, with a height of "h". Determine the expression of the range, "R", where the ball will land on the ground if the ball has an initial velocity of "Vo".

A student who aspires to ace his quiz in Phys134 went to a wishing well. He dropped his first 10-peso coin and made a quick wish. Two seconds after he dropped his first coin, he threw another 10-peso coin vertically downward with a speed of 30m/s. How long will it take the second coin to overtake the first?
A boy stands on a bridge 13.3 m above the water, and he drops a water balloon on a boat of unsuspecting tourists. The boat is traveling at a constant speed of 15.3 m/s (toward the bridge), and the boy manages to hit a tourist on the boat with the balloon. How far away from the base of the bridge was the boat when the boy released the balloon?
