Suppose that on earth you can throw a ball vertically upward a distance of 1.05 m. Given that the acceleration of gravity on the Moon is 1.67 m/s2, how high could you throw a ball on the Moon? (Take the y-axis in the vertical direction, and assume that the location of your hand is at y = 0.)
A car moves on a straight road such that its position from a reference point is given by the following function:{ x(t) = 3 + 5t + 2t2 + 0.4t3, y(t) = 0, z(t) = 0 }where t is in seconds and x in meters. Find the average velocity, in meters per second, in the x-direction between t1 = 0.25 s and t2 = 1.85 s. Find the average acceleration, in meters per second squared, in the x-direction between t1 = 0.25 s and t2 = 1.85 s.
An object is thrown from a level field with initial upward speed 17 m/s and forward speed 9.9 m/s. How far (in m) from its launch point is its landing place? You do not need to put the unit in the answer, just the number. As usual, ignore air resistance, etc; use the acceleration due to gravity as 9.8 meters per second squared.
A student drives for 34 min at 67km/h, 57 min at 54 km/h, and 56 s at 10 km/h and spends 48 min eating lunch and buying gas. Determine the distance between the initial and final cities along the route. 89 km/h 177 km/h 74 km/h 125 km/h
A classic physics problem states that if a projectile is shot vertically up into the air with an initial velocity of 146 feet per second from an initial height of 89 feet off the ground, then the height of the projectile, h, in feet, t seconds after it's shot is given by the equation: h=−16t2+146t+89h=-16t2+146t+89 Find the two points in time when the object is 126 feet above the ground (to one decimal places). Answer: The object is 126 feet off the ground at the following times: (Enter your two answers separated by a comma. Round to ONE decimal places.)
A rubber ball is thrown horizontally from the window by a toddler with an initial velocity of 5 m/s. If the window is 4 m high, how long does it vtake for the ball to reach the pavement below? Choose the answer: a. 0.8163 squared second b. 0.9035 second c. 0.8163 second d. 0.9035 squared second
An unidentified flying object (UFO) is observed to travel a total distance of 19000 m, starting and ending at rest, over a duration of 4.23 s. Assuming the UFO accelerated at a constant rate to the midpoint of its journey and then decelerated at a constant rate the rest of the way, what was the magnitude of its acceleration? Express your answer in g s , where 1 g = 9.81 m/s^2.

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.
