In an attempt to conserve energy (and, let’s be honest, save some cash), Bob decides to ride his bike to work every day. He starts out by riding a half mile uphill, which slows him down by 4 miles per hour. The rest of the ride is a mile downhill, which speeds him up by 5 miles per hour. After several days, he notices that when he reaches the top of the hill, he’s exactly halfway there if you measure in terms of time. How fast would Bob be riding if the trip were on level ground?
Suppose I need to toss an object of mass 5.2 up onto a shelf 5.94 meters above where my hands can reach. What is the minimum speed of toss necessary to do this? Your answer should be in meters per second, but don't write teh unit, just the number. You can approximate the acceleration due to gravity at the earth's surface as 10 meters per square second.
