A dolphin in an aquatic show jumps straight up out of the water at a velocity of 13.0 m/s. (a) List the knowns in this problem. (b) How high does his body rise above the water? To solve this part, first note that the final velocity is now a known and identify its value. Then identify the unknown, and discuss how you chose the appropriate equation to solve for it. After choosing the equation, show your steps in solving for the unknown, checking units, and discuss whether the answer is reasonable.

A landscape architect is planning an artificial waterfall in a city park. Water flowing at 1.70 m/s will leave the end of a horizontal channel at the top of a vertical wall h = 2.35 m high, and from there it will fall into a pool (Fig. P3.42). (a) Will the space behind the waterfall be wide enough for a pedestrian walkway? (b) To sell her plan to the city council, the architect wants to build a model to standard scale, which is one-twelfth actual size. How fast should the water flow in the channel in the model?

A hard rubber ball, not affected by air resistance in its motion, is tossed upward from shoulder height, falls to the sidewalk, rebounds to a smaller maximum height, and is caught on its way down again. This motion is represented in Figure OQ2.13, where the successive positions of the ball through are not equally spaced in time. At point the center of the ball is at its lowest point in the motion. The motion of the ball is along a straight, vertical line, but the diagram shows successive positions offset to the right to avoid overlapping. Choose the positive y direction to be upward. (a) Rank the situations through according to the speed of the ball |vy| at each point, with the largest speed first. (b) Rank the same situations according to the acceleration ay of the ball at each point. (In both rankings, remember that zero is greater than a negative value. If two values are equal, show that they are equal in your ranking.) Figure OQ2.13
You are on an espionage mission to drop a tracker from the top of a building, 53.6 m above from the ground, on your target, who is 1.50 m tall and walking at a constant speed of 2.19 m/s. If you wish to drop the tracker on your target's head, where should the target be when you release the tracker? Assume that there is no air drag. Express answers in meters. Hint: This question involves Free Fall (step 1) and General Uniform Accelerated Motion (step 2).
A ball is launched from (0, 0, 8) towards a target on the x-axis at (20, 0, 0). The initial velocity is <5, 0, K> and the only acceleration is due to gravity (to simplify calculations, use a = <0, 0, −10>). Whatshould we choose for the value of K in the velocity so that the ball hits the target?
