As the first human astronaut to land on a distant planet, you are standing on the edge of a small cliff. You toss a small experiment apparatus straight up in the air and it reaches a maximum height of 3.0 m above the cliff. The apparatus then falls to the bottom of the cliff, landing a distance 10 m below its initial position. Given that the acceleration due to gravity on the exoplanet is a = – -5.6j m/s?, how long did it take for the apparatus to get from the top of its trajectory to the bottom of the cliff? The coordinate system is set up such that "up" is in the +j direction. Pick the correct answer O 1.9 s O 1.5 s O 1.3 s O 2.2 s 1.0 s

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.
The driver of a car slams on the brakes when he sees a tree blocking the road. The car slows uniformly with an acceleration of 5.60 m/s2 for 4.20 s, making straight skid marks 62.4 m long, all the way to the tree. With what speed does the car then strike the tree?
a rocket initially at rest, is fired vertically with an upward acceleration of 10ms/s. at an altitude of 0.5km, the engine of the rocket cuts off. what is the maximum altitude reached by the rocket ?
You throw a baseball directly upward at timet=0 at an initial speed of 12.3 m/s. The maximum height is 7.72 m. At what time does the ball pass throughhalf the maximum height?Ignore air resistance and assume g=9.8 m/s
A ball is thrown straight up with initial speed 15.0 m/s and rises 11.5 m above the release point before returning to Earth. What initial velocity is required to make the ball rise twice as high? Ignore any effects due to air resistance.
On level land, a youngster aspires to toss a ball over a flat-roofed schoolhouse measuring 12 meters wide and 7.5 meters high. Determine how far away from the wall he should stand to make the ball clear the roof with the least amount of effort, that is, with the lowest starting velocity, assuming the ball will leave his hand at a height of 1.5 m above the ground.
A man is trying to throw some keys to a woman on the fourth floor balcony, a height of 16.8 m above the ground. If the initial height of the throw is 1.0 m above the ground, at what velocity should be throw the keys so that they just reach the woman?
A helicopter is ascending vertically with a speed of 5.47 m/s . At a height of 141 m above the Earth, a package is dropped from the helicopter. How much time does it take for the package to reach the ground? [Hint: What is v0 for the package?]

A 5 kg object is shot straight up with an initial velocity of 1 m/s from the ground. If air resistance is given by 5v where v is for velocity, determine the time it takes to reach the highest height of its ascent. (Hint: F = ma = m(dv/dt))
A stone is thrown from the top of a building upward at an angle of 30 degrees with respect of the horizontal, and with an intial speed of 20m/s. If the height of the building is 45 meters, how long is the stone in flight, how far does it land, and what is the speed just before impact?
