If an object is thrown straight up and air resistance is negligible, then its speed when it returns to the starting point is the same as when it was released. If air resistance were not negligible, how would its speed upon return compare with its initial speed? How would the maximum height to which it rises be affected? Explain your answer in terms of forces and kinematics.

Traumatic brain injury such as concussion results when the head undergoes a very large acceleration. Generally, an acceleration less than 800 m/s2 lasting for any length of time will not cause injury, whereas an acceleration greater than 1 000 m/s2 lasting tor at least 1 ms will cause injury. Suppose; a small child rolls off a bed that is 0.40 m above the floor. If the floor is hardwood, the childs head is brought to rest in approximately 2.0 min. If the floor is carpeted, this stopping distance is increased to about 1.0 cm. Calculate the magnitude and duration of the deceleration. In both cases, to determine the risk of injury. Assume the child remains horizontal during the fall to the floor. Note that a more complicated fall could result in a head velocity greater or less than the speed you calculate.
A racing car starts from rest at t = 0 and reaches a final speed v at time t. If the acceleration of the car is constant during this time, which of the following statements are true? (Select all that apply.)The velocity of the car remains constant.The average speed of the car is v/2.The car travels a distance vt.None of the statements is true.The magnitude of the acceleration of the car is v/t.
A box was dropped from the top of a building. Which of the following is true regarding its velocity? (A) The velocity increases. (B) The velocity stays the same. (C) The velocity decreases. (D) I need more details to confirm any of these three statements. A box was dropped from the top of a building. Which of the following is true regarding its acceleration?

If you drop an object, its acceleration toward the ground is 10 m/s. If you throw it down instead, would its acceleration after throwing be greater than 10 m/s? Why or why not?
What happens if the person on the cliff throws the rock straight down, instead of straight up? To explore this question,calculate the velocity of the rock when it is 5.10 m below the starting point, and has been thrown downward with an initialspeed of 13.0 m/s.
You throw a baseball directly upward at time t=0 at an initial speed of 13.3 m/s. What is the maximum height the ball reaches above where it leaves your hand? Ignore air resistance and take g=9.80 m/s2. maximum height: At what times does the ball pass through half the maximum height? earlier time at half maximum height: later time at half maximum height:
A boy standing on a stationary lift (open from above) throws a ball upwards with maximum initial speed he can, equal to 49 m/s. How much time does the ball take to return to his hands? If the lift starts moving up with a uniform speed of 5 m/s and the boy again throws the ball up with the maximum speed he can, how long does the ball take to return to his hands ?
The first question is: Kalea throws a baseball directly upward at time t=0 at an initial speed of 13.7 m/s.13.7 m/s. How high h does the ball rise above its release point? Ignore air resistance and use ?=9.80 m/s2. h= ________________ m
You throw a ball upward. After half of the time to the highest point, the ball has covered? Hint: It is best to think of this for the case that the ball is dropped first. a) Half the distance to the top. b) More than half the distance. c) Less than half the distance. d) It depends on how fast you throw the ball.
Two pebbles are thrown simultaneously from the top of the building with a speed of 20 m/s. One is thrown vertically upward and another vertically downwards. Which of the following statement is correct? a. They will strike the ground with the same speed. b. They will strike the ground at the same time. c. They will travel the same distance. d. They have different acceleration because one is upwards and the other is downward.
You throw a baseball directly upward at time t=0 at an initial speed of 12.3 m/s. What is the maximum height the ball reaches above where it leaves your hand? Ignore air resistance and take ?=9.80 m/s2.
A car is a rest on a sloping driveway. By experiment the driver releases the brake of the car and let the car move at constant acceleration. How fast will the car be moving when it reaches the street? Note: The street is 4 m below the original position of the car. A. 8.86 m/s B. 9.65 m/s C. 6.65 m/s D. 50.45 m/s
