A sky lantern which a child tied to a piece of stone on the ground at the side of a tall multi- storey building got loose and then rose vertically upward with a uniform rate of 2.7 m/sec. At a certain height, it touched a small loose stone on the side of the building. The stone strikes the ground after 2.5 sec. Determine the height in meters of the sky lantern when the stone touched the ground.

1. a) A steel ball is dropped from a building's roof and passes a window, taking 0.13 s to fall from the top to the bottom of the window, a distance of 1.20 m. It then falls to a sidewalk and bounces back past the window, moving from bottom to top in 0.13 s. Assume that the upward flight is an exact reverse of the fall. The time the ball spends below the bottom of the window is 1.93 s. How tall is the building? b) A basketball player grabbing a rebound jumps 74.1 cm vertically. How much total time (ascent and descent) does the player spend in the bottom 10.3 cm? Do your results explain why such players seem to hang in the air at the top of a jump?
A car travels along the North Luzon Expressway with a constant speed of 45 kph, To avoid getting penalized of under-speeding, it accelerates at 8 m/s?, Determine the time, in s, that it takes to reach the minimum speed limit of 80 kph. Also determine the distance travelled by the car while accelerating. If it stops to pay at a tollgate, determine the deceleration, in m/s?, of the car in 10s Also determine the distance travelled by the car while decelerating hellooo urgent pls helppp
In a rope-climbing competition, all of the lifting is done by the arms; legs can only dangle. Imagine 220-lb Garvin Smith in training, hanging stationary from the rope, his legs off the floor. When prompted by his coach, he rapidly lifts his center of mass by 4 ft. in 0.65 s. Calculate Garvin Smith's acceleration. Round the final answer to one decimal place. Determine the net force (“force imbalance”) producing the acceleration. Round the final answer to one decimal place. Which forces are acting on Smith? (Note that his arms are part of himself, so they cannot exert a force on Smith.) With what magnitude force is Smith pulling down on the rope? Round the final answer to one decimal place. The force of 130.2 lb points _____.

A stone is dropped from a balloon that is ascending at uniform rate of 10 m/sec. If it takes the stone 10 sec. to reach the ground, how high was the balloon at the instant the stone was dropped?
Graph below represents the force on a 12 kg air mass as it passes through a jet engine. Immediately after entering the engine, the force is 9,039 N, and the force tapers linearly to zero once the air reaches the back of the engine 2.3 m later. If the air enters the engine with velocity 252 m/s, what is its exit velocity? (Please answer to the fourth decimal place - i.e 14.3225)
This most likely is made to be a probelm about mx''+bx'+kx=f(t) m = mass b = friction k = spring constant 4. A mass weighing four pounds stretches a spring 24 in. Suppose the mass is atequilibrium and is set into motion with a velocity of 6 inches per second. The mass is in a mediumwhere friction is small, and we assume it is zero. Note that the acceleration due to gravity near theearth’s surface where the experiment takes place can be taken as 32 ft/s2.(a) Suppose that in addition to the conditions described above, a hammer strikes the mass everyπ/2 seconds starting at t = 0. A delta function with impulse of 1 pound-second models theforce of each blow to the mass. Find the function x(t) for the displacement from equilibrium infeet of the mass at time t in seconds. Express x(t) as a piecewise defined function without the use ofunit step or Heaviside functions and such that in each time window it is a different multiple of the samesinusoidal function.(b) Now assume the same spring-mass…
Two blocks connected by a string are pulled across a horizontal surface by a force applied to one of the blocks, as shown below. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the blocks and the surface is 0.25. If each block has an acceleration of 2.0 m/s2 to the right, what is the magnitude F of the applied force?
. To promote their new album, Black Pink decided to launch a satellite into orbit that will intercept all airwaves and play their songs worldwide. To do this, he needs to mount a 200 [kg] satellite onto an 850 [kg] rocket. It blasts off vertically from a launchpad with a constant net upward acceleration of 3.80 [m/s2]. When it has reached a height of 680 [m], the satellite was released, and the rocket blew up shortly after, due to a system failure. Assume that the satellite was not damaged after the explosion. (a) What is the maximum height that the satellite will reach above the launchpad? (b) How much time will elapse after system failure before the satellite comes crashing down the launch pad? (c) How fast will the satellite be moving just before it crashes?
An aircraft touches down at a speed of 200 km/hour and the brakes are applied. If the aircraft deceleration is given by ? = −0.05 ? (using units of metres and seconds), how far will it have travelled along the runway by the time its speed drops to 20 km/hour?
A 45.0 kg girl is standing on a 155 kg plank. The plank, originally at rest, is free to slide on a frozen lake, which is a flat, frictionless surface. The girl begins to walk along the plank at a constant velocity of 1.39 m/s relative to the plank. (Let the direction the girl is moving in be positive. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) (a) What is her velocity relative to the surface of ice? m/s(b) What is the velocity of the plank relative to the surface of ice? m/s
