At a certain instant, a ball is thrown downward with a velocity of 8.0 m/s from a height of 40 m. At the same instant, another ball is thrown upward from ground level directly in line with the first ball with a velocity of 12 m/s. Find (a) the time when the balls collide, (b) the height at which they collide, and (c) the direction the second ball is traveling when they collide. Take g = 10 m/s?.

Playing jackstone as a kid, you discovered that there is a certain time before the rubber ball falls and you took advantage of this when picking up the stars on the floor. If you threw the ball 3.85 m/s up into the air, how fast will it be moving at a height of 43.56 cm? How much time has elapsed upon reaching this height?
Playing jackstone as a kid, you discovered that there is a certain time before the rubber ball falls and you took advantage of this when picking up the stars on the floor. If you threw the ball (GIVEN A)m/s up into the air, how fast will it be moving at a height of (GIVEN B)cm? How much time has elapsed upon reaching this height?
A mischievous 1.1-meter boy stands on a bridge somewhere to drop a stone to passing cars. The height of the bridge is 6.2 meters and the distance between his head and shoulder is 10.0 inches. He drops the stone with his arm positioned horizontal to his shoulder while the car was 7.1 meters away. What must have been the velocity of the car if the stone hit it with a perfect timing?
Playing jackstone as a kid, you discovered that there is a certain time before the rubber ball falls and you took advantage of this when picking up the stars on the floor. If you threw the ball 2.54m/s up into the air, how fast will it be moving at a height of 15.05cm? How much time has elapsed upon reaching this height?
In 1865, Jules Verne proposed sending men to the Moon by firing a space capsule from a 220-m-long cannon with final speed of 10.97 km/s. What would have been the unrealistically large acceleration experienced by the space travelers during their launch? (A human can stand an acceleration of 15g for a short time.) Compare your answer with thr free-fall acceleration, 9.80 m/s^2
By analyzing a multiflash photograph of a golfer hitting a golf ball, one finds that the head of the club travels 49.5 cm in 0.0096 s, just before it strikes the ball. Find the approximate instantaneous speed of the club head at the instant of contact.
ball is thrown vertically apart from the top of a building 288 feet tall with an initial velocity of 48 feet per second. The distance s (in feet) of the off from the ground after t seconds is s(t)=288+48t-16t^2 a) after how many seconds does the ball strike the ground? b) after how many seconds will the ball pass the top of the building on it way down?
A classic physics problem states that if a projectile is shot vertically up into the air with an initial velocity of 146 feet per second from an initial height of 89 feet off the ground, then the height of the projectile, h, in feet, t seconds after it's shot is given by the equation: h=−16t2+146t+89h=-16t2+146t+89 Find the two points in time when the object is 126 feet above the ground (to one decimal places). Answer: The object is 126 feet off the ground at the following times: (Enter your two answers separated by a comma. Round to ONE decimal places.)
