A stone is thrown from the top of a building with an initial velocity of 20.0 m/s straight upward, at an initial height of 50.0 m above the ground. The stone just misses the edge of the roof on the its way down. Determine (a) the time needed for the stone to reach its maximum height. (b) the maximum height. (c) the time needed for the stone to return to the height from which it was thrown and the velocity of the stone at that instant.

You can use any coordinate system you like to solve aprojectile motion problem. To demonstrate the truth of this statement, consider a ball thrown off the top of a building witha velocity vS at an angle u with respect to the horizontal. Letthe building be 50.0 m tall, the initial horizontal velocity be9.00 m/s, and the initial vertical velocity be 12.0 m/s. Chooseyour coordinates such that the positive y - axis is upward, thex - axis is to the right, and the origin is at the point where theball is released. (a) With these choices, find the ball’s maximumheight above the ground and the time it takes to reachthe maximum height. (b) Repeat your calculations choosingthe origin at the base of the building.
A daring ranch hand sitting on a tree limb wishes to drop vertically onto a horse galloping under the tree. The constant speed of the horse is 10.0 m/s, and the distance from the limb to the level of the saddle is 3.00 m. (a) What must be the horizontal distance between the saddle and limb when the ranch hand makes his move? (b) For what time interval is he in the air?
Is it possible for velocity to be constant while acceleration is not zero? Explain.
A Lockheed Martin F-35 II lighting jet takes off from an aircraft carrier with a runway length of 90 m and a takeoff speed 70 m/s at the end of the runway. Jets are catapulted into airspace from the deck of an aircraft carrier with two sources of propulsion: the jet propulsion and the catapult. At the point of leaving the deck of the aircraft carrier, the F-35’s acceleration decreases to a constant acceleration of 5.0m/s2 at 30 with respect to the horizontal. (a) What is the initial acceleration of the F-35 on the deck of the aircraft carrier to make it airborne? (b) Write the position and velocity of the F-35 in unit vector notation from the point it leaves the deck of the aircraft carrier. (c) At what altitude is the fighter 5.0 s after it leaves the deck of the aircraft carrier? (d) What is its velocity and speed at this time? (e) How far has it traveled horizontally?
A celebrated Mark Twain story has motivated contestants in the Calaveras County Jumping Frog Jubilee, where frog jumps as long as 2.2 m have been recorded. If a frog jumps 2.2 m and the launch angle is 45, find (a) the frogs launch speed and (b) the time the frog spends in the air. Ignore air resistance.
A toy rocket is launched vertically from ground level (y=0m), at time t=0.0s. The rocket engine privides constant upward acceleration during the burn phase. At the instant the engine burnout, the rocket has risen to 64m and acquired a velocity of 60 m/s. The rocket continues to rise in thr unpowered flight, reaches maximum height, and falls back to the ground. What is the time interval during which the rocket engine provides upward acceleration?
First, you will investigate purely vertical motion. The kinematics equation for vertical motion (ignoring air resistance) is given by y(t)=y0+v0t−(1/2)gt2, where y0=0 is the initial position, v0 the initial speed, and g is the acceleration due to gravity. Drag the cannon downwards so it is at ground level, or 0 m (which represents the initial height of the object), then fire the pumpkin straight upward (at an angle of 90∘) with an initial speed of 14 m/s. How long does it take for the pumpkin to hit the ground?
A ball is thrown directly downward with an initial speed of 8.70 m/s, from a height of 29.4 m. After what time interval does it strike the ground? s
Problem 5. An object is moving with an initial position of 28m from the origin with aninitial velocity of −4m/s and constant acceleration of 8m/s2. (1) How fast is the bodymoving after 2s? (2) What is its position 3s after the start? (3) When will it be 36m fromthe origin?
A hovercraft has an initial position of ⃗r(t = 0s) = 235m @ 265◦, an initial velocity of⃗v(t = 0s) = 125m/s @ 14◦, and a constant acceleration of ⃗a = 21.3m/s2 @ 143◦ How long does it take for the x coordinate of the hovercraft’s position to reach -100m What is the hovercraft’s speed at this time? What is the hovercraft’s acceleration at this time?
