A rock is dropped from a bridge to the water below. It takes 5.25 deconds for the rock to hit the water. What is the velocity of the rock as it hits the water in metres per second? How far from the water is the bridge (in units of metres to 3 decimal places)? State at the start of the problem which direction is positive (using the up arrow or down arrow) Make a list of all given values, units, and variables they represent. Write the general form of the equation you are going to use. Insert the known variables and solve.

Plus and minus signs are used in one-dimensional motion to indicate direction. What is the sign of an acceleration that reduces the magnitude of a negative velocity? Of a positive velocity?
A ball is thrown straight up. It passes a 2.00-m-high window 7.50 m off the ground on its path up and takes 0.312 s to go past the window. What was the ball's initial velocity? Hint: First consider only the distance along the window, and solve for the ball's velocity at the bottom of the window. Next, consider only the distance from the ground to the bottom of the window, and solve for the initial velocity using the velocity at the bottom of the window as the final velocity.
A mountain climber stands at the top of a 35.0 m cliff that overhangs a calm pool of water. She throws two stones vertically downward 1.00 s apart and observes that they cause a single splash. The first stone had an initial velocity of -1.20 m/s. (a) How long after release of the first stone did the two stones hit the water? (Round your answer to at least two decimal places.) (b) What initial velocity must the second stone have had, given that they hit the water simultaneously? (c) What was the velocity of each stone at the instant it hit the water?
A person standing at the edge of a cliff throws a rock upward from a height of 350ft above ground level with an initial velocity of 65⁢ft/s. What is the velocity of impact when the rock reaches the bottom of the cliff? Round any intermediate calculations, if needed, to no less than six decimal places, and round your final answer to two decimal places. (Hint: Use h(t)=−16t2+65t+350 as the position function, where hh is in feet, tt in seconds. Ignore air resistance.)
A projectile is fired vertically from the ground with an initial velocity of 220 ft/sec. The initial acceleration is a=−32 ft/sec^2. 1. What is the velocity equation? Use t as the variable and v for the velocity. 2. What is the displacement equation? Use t as the variable and s as the displacement. 3. What was the velocity at t=5 seconds? 4. What time did the projectile reach its maximum height? (Hint: ?=0) Round to 1 decimal place. 5. What was the maximum height? Round to 1 decimal place.
What is the total time it takes for a ball that is tossed straight up at 10 m/s to reach the top of its path and then return to its starting point? Hint: since the ball returns to its starting point, what is its displacement? Your answer should be in units of seconds but you should only submit the number for your answer

A man went jogging one early morning.He started from his home and arrived at imelda park, 350 meter away, within the First 10 minutes. He continued jogging and passed by the Bartholomew church, another 50 meters away, within 2 Minutes. He followed a straight line path from his home, to the Imelda Park, and to the Bartholomew Church. What was the man's average velocity from his home to the Imelda Park? From Imelda Park to the Bartholomew Church?
A lead ball is dropped into a lake from a diving board 5.0 m above the water. After entering the water, it sinks to the bottom with a constant velocity equal to the velocity with which it hit the water. The ball reaches the bottom 3.0 safter it is released. How deep is the lake?
