As you look out of your dorm window, a flower pot suddenly falls past. The pot is visible for a time t, and the vertical length of your window is Lw. Take down to be the positive direction, so that downward velocities are positive and the acceleration due to gravity is the positive quantity g. Assume that the flower pot was dropped by someone on the floor above you (rather than thrown downward). Part A From what height h above the bottom of your window was the flower pot dropped?

A skydiver jumped out of a plane to shoot a skydiving scene for a certain spy movie. At what point in time should this spy-wannabe open his parachute when he is aware that the plane was at the altitude of (GIVEN A)m, and he needs to open it at a height of (GIVEN B)m?
A mountain climber jumps a crevasse of width W by leapinghorizontally with speed v0. (a) If the height difference betweenthe two sides of the crevasse is h, what is the minimum value ofv0 for the climber to land safely on the other side? (b) In this case,what is the climber’s direction of motion on landing?
An object is projected straight upwards with an initial velocity U. If T is the time taken to return to the point of projection, H is the maximum height and g is the acceleration due to gravity, derive how to solve for: (a.) time of flight, T, and (b.) the maximum height, H, that the projectile can achieve.
Consider an airplane whose takeoff speed is 220 km/h and that takes 15 s to take off at sea level. For an airport at an elevation of 1600 m (such as Denver), determine (a) the takeoff speed, (b) the takeoff time, and (c) the additional runway length required for this airplane. Assume constant acceleration for both cases.

An ant crawls on the surface of a ball of radius b in such a manner that the ant's motion is given in spherical coordinates by the equations r = b; phi = omega*t; theta = pi/2 * [1 + 1/4 * cos(400t)] Find the speed of the ant as a function of the time t. What sort of path is represented? by the above equations ?
A projectile is fired horizontally with speed v0 from the top of a cliff of height h. Itimmediately enters a fixed tube with length x, as shown in Figure. There is friction between the projectileand the tube, the effect of which is to make the projectile decelerate with constant acceleration ax. After theprojectile leaves the tube, it undergoes normal projectile motion down to the ground. Calculate the totalhorizontal distance, l, that the projectile travels. (g=9.8 m/s2) v0=5.5m/s ax=-2.5m/s2 x=4.5m h=12m
In Dover, Delaware, a post-Halloween traditionis “Punkin Chunkin,” in which contestants build cannons, catapults, trebuchets, and other devices to launch pumpkins and compete for the greatest distance. Though hard to believe, pumpkinshave been projected a distance of 4694 feet in this contest. What isthe minimum initial speed needed for such a shot?
