Question
Given:
An egg is thrown nearly vertically upward from a point near the cornice of a tall building. It just misses the cornice on the way down and passes a point a distance 36.0 m below its starting point at a time 5.00 s after it leaves the thrower's hand. Air resistance may be ignored.
Asked:
what is the initial speed?
How High does it move above the starting point?

- A small block has constant acceleration as it slides down a frictionless incline. The block is released from rest at the top of the incline, and its speed after it has traveled 6.60 m to the bottom of the incline is 3.80 m/s. Q: What is the speed of the block when it is 3.80 m from the top of the incline?arrow_forwardWhile standing at the edge of the roof of a building, a man throws a stone upward with an initial speed of 6.71 m/s. The stone subsequently falls to the ground, which is 16.7 m below the point where the stone leaves his hand. At what speed does the stone impact the ground? Ignore air resistance and use g = 9.81 m/s² for the acceleration due to gravity. impact speed: m/s How much time is the stone in the air? elapsed time: Sarrow_forwardYou stand on the edge of a very tall building with three rocks, which you are going to throw off the edge. You throw the first rock straight outwards, the second rock at an angle 60° above the horizontal, and the third rock 30° below the horizontal. If you throw all three rocks with the same initial speed, which will be moving the fastest when it hits the ground? The first rock The second rock. They will all have the same speed. The third rockarrow_forward
- An attacker at the base of a castle wall 3.55 m high throws a rock straight up with speed 8.30 m/s from a height of 1.60 m above the ground. (a) Will the rock reach the top of the wall? Yes O No (b) If so, what is its speed at the top? If not, what initial speed must it have to reach the top? m/s (c) Find the change in speed of a rock thrown straight down from the top of the wall at an initial speed of 8.30 m/s and moving between the same two points. m/s (d) Does the change in speed of the downward-moving rock agree with the magnitude of the speed change of the rock moving upward between the same elevations? O Yes No (e) Explain physically why it does or does not agree.arrow_forwardKalea throws a baseball directly upward at time t = 0 at an initial speed of 14.5 m/s.
