student throws a heavy red ball horizontally from a balcony of a tall building with aninitial speed v0. At the same time, a second student throws a lighter blue ball horizontally fromthe same balcony with an initial speed v0 /2. Ignoring air resistance, which of the followingstatements must be true?a. The red ball hits the ground with the greater speed.b. Both balls hit the ground with the same vertical velocity component.c. Both balls hit the ground with the same angle of impactd. The balls reach the ground at the same instant. More than one of the statements can be true.
Two balls are thrown from the edge of a rooftop with the same speed, but one is thrown upward while the other is thrown horizontally. Which of the following statements accurately describes the speed and velocity of the balls when they hit the ground, assuming air resistance can be ignored? a)The final speeds of the balls will be equal but their final velocities will differ b)The final velocities of the balls will be equal but their final speeds will differ. c)Both the final speeds and final velocities of the balls will be equal. d) Neither the final speeds nor the final velocities of the balls will be equal.
When serving, a beach volleyball player strikes the volleyball (mass = 265 g) at a height of 2.4 metres above the ground. The ball follows the standard path of a projectile, first rising as it passes over the net, and then descending. The opponent receives the volleyball 1.1 seconds later at the same height (2.4 metres above the ground), and at a horizontal distance of 13.5 metres from the server. Answer the following questions assuming there is no effect of air resistance. When the ball was received by the opponent, the horizontal component of velocity (in m/s) was? The vertical component of velocity at take-off and impact (in m/s) can be solved by recognizing that the vertical component of velocity at the point of maximum height in the trajectory of motion is (in m/s)?
A girl throws a stone from a bridge. Consider the following ways she might throw the stone. The speed of the stone as it leaves her hand is the same in each case. Case A: Thrown straight up. Case B: Thrown straight down. Case C: Thrown out at an angle of 45° above horizontal. Case D: Thrown straight out horizontally. In which case will the speed of the stone be greatest when it hits the water below? Case A Case B Case C Case D The speed will be the same in all cases. Please explain why the speed will be the same in all cases.

The initial speed of the red ball is twice the initial speed of the blue ball. ignoring air resistances. Select one: a. The red ball reaches the ground first b. the blue ball reaches the ground first c. both ball land at the same time with different speeds d. both ball land at the same instant with the same speed.
Two people stand on different floors of an outside stairway. One is 6 m above the ground and the other is 12m above the ground. The person on the lower floor throws a ball upward with a speed of 15m/s and the other person just drops hers. Ignoring air resistance, which ball hits the ground at a higher speed? a.)They both hit the ground with the same speed b.) The one thrown upward c.) The one that is dropped
An apple falls from a tree. It hits the ground at a speed of about 5.0m/s5.0m/s. What is the approximate height of the tree? 10.0 m 2.4 m 2.5 m 1.3 m
You are at the edge of the cliff at a height of 50 m. calculate how long it would take for a stone to hit the ground in each of the three cases. you just drop the stone from rest, you throw the stone with a speed of 18.5 m/s in a horizontal direction, you throw the stone with the same initial speed, but an angle of 30° above the horizontal. Also calculate how far from the foot of the cliff the stone lands in each case described above ( i.e. the horizontal range in each case.)
A home run is hit in such a way that the baseball just clears a wall 16.0 m high, located 126 m from home plate. The hall is hit at an angle of 33.0 degrees to the horizontal and air resistance is negligible. Assume that the ball is hit at a height of 1.0 m above the ground.a) find the initial speed of the ball b) find the time it takes the ball to reach the wall c) find the vol city of the 1. X component and be 2. Y component Find the speed of the ball when it reaches the wall
You stand still and throw a ball straight upwards with an initial speed of 7.50 m/s. You then repeat this experiment while on a moving sidewalk that is moving horizontally with a speed of 0.500 m/s. How high does the ball go?
