An arrow was shot directly up in the air with a velocity of 30.0 [m/s]. Air resistance is disregarded. A.) what is the maximum height reached by the arow? B.) How long will it stay in the air? Afterwards some time, a second arrow was shot directly up in the air so that both arrows collide once the second arrow reaches a maximum height of 24.0 [m]. C.) what must be the initial velocity of the second arrow? D.) how long after shooting the first arrow should the second one be launched?

An express train passes through a station. It enters with an initial velocity of 22.0 m/s and decelerates at a rate of 0.150m/s2 as it goes through. The station in 210.0 m long. (a) How fast is it going when the nose leaves the station? (b) How long is the nose of the train in the station? (c) If the train is 130 m long, what is the velocity of the end of the train as it leaves? (d) When does the end of the train leave the station?
A rescue helicopter is hovering over a person whose boat has sunk. One of the rescuers throws a life preserver straight down to the victim with an initial velocity of 1.40 m/s and observes that it takes 1.8 s to reach the water. (a) List the knowns in this problem. (b) How high above the water was the preserver released? Note that the downdraft of the helicopter reduces the effects of air resistance on the falling life preserver, so that an acceleration equal to that of gravity is reasonable.
