The equations of kinematics for uniform accelerationalso apply to the special case of an object that isaccelerating near the earth's surface. The gravitationalpull of the earth on any object will cause it toaccelerate towards the centre of the earth at a rate of9.80 m/s², assuming air resistance is negligible. Thus,for any equations involving a body in free fall(something that is dropped or thrown) we can use thesame problem-solving skills we already have. Thereare a few unique features to solving freefall problems.acceleration is always constant at g = -9.80m/s? (the negative is very important)at the top of its flight, an object has v =(Since it must stop before starting to comedown again)keeping your sign conventions for direction isvery important...all velocity directed downmust be negative, and all velocity directed upmust be positive.b)= 0.A tourist drops a rock from rest from a guardrail overlooking a valley.

An object falling through a fluid is observed to have acceleration given by a = g – bv where g = gravitational acceleration and b is constant. After a long time of release, it is observed to fall with constant speed. What must be the value of constant speed?
The “mean” orbital radius listed for astronomical objects orbiting the Sun is typically not an integrated average but is calculated such that it gives the correct period when applied to the equation for circular orbits. Given that, what is the mean orbital radius in terms of aphelion and perihelion?
In the blizzard of ’88, a rancher was forced to drop hay bales from an airplane to feed her cattle. The plane flew horizontally at 160 km/hr and dropped the bales from a height of 80 m above the flat range, (a) She wanted the bales of hay to land 30 m behind the cattle so as to not hit them. Where should she push the bales out of the airplane? (b) To not hit the cattle, what is the largest time error she could make while pushing the bales out of the airplane? Ignore air resistance.

Suppose a cannon, placed on a moving cart with negligible friction in the wheel bearings, projects a cannonball straight up in the air. What is the horizontal velocity relative to the onserver? Is it the same/less/more than that of the cart? How would you describe that motion?
Let’s say you are given an object that needs to clear two posts of equal height separated by a specific distance. Refer to for thisexample. The projectile is thrown at 25√2 m/s at an angle of 45°. If the object is to clear both posts, each with a height of 30m, find theminimum: (a) position of the launch on the ground in relation to the posts and (b) the separation between the posts. For simplicity’ssake, use a gravity constant of 10. Problems of any type in physics are much easier to solve if you list the things that you know (the“givens”).
Astronomers have discoveredseveral volcanoes on Io, a moon of Jupiter. One of them, namedLoki, ejects lava to a maximum height of 2.00 * 105 m. (a) Whatis the initial speed of the lava? (The acceleration of gravity on Io is1.80 m>s2.) (b) If this volcano were on Earth, would the maximumheight of the ejected lava be greater than, less than, or the same ason Io? Explain.
A block of mass m = 3 kg is sliding along a frictionless inclined surface that makes an angleof φφ = 300with respect to the horizontal surface.At the lowest points of the inclined surface, a projectile is fired at a speed of vv0 = 12 m/s thatmakes an angle θ0 = 450 with respect to the horizontal. Our aim of this problem is to find thetime when the projectile will hit the block. Find the time when the projectile hits the block. (Given, the initial distance between the blockand the projectile along the inclined surface at t = 0 is RR0 = 10 m as shown in the figure) Find the height h, where the projectile will hit the block.(c) Now assume that the projectile hits the block at its maximum range R along the inclinedsurface and the block is not sliding at all. Then find the maximum range along the inclinedsurface, RRmmmmmm = ?
