Suppose you throw a rock nearly straight up at a coconut in a palm tree and the rock just misses the coconut on the way up but hits the coconut on the way down. Neglecting air resistance and the slight horizontal variation in motion to account for the hit and miss of the coconut, how does the speed of the rock when it hits the coconut on the way down compare with what it would have been if it had hit the coconut on the way up? Is it more likely to dislodge the coconut on the way up or down? Explain.

A game requires that two children throw a ball upward as high as possible at the same point and then to run horizontally in opposite directions. Thechild who travels the greater distance before their thrown ball impacts the ground winds. One child throws the ball at his arm’s height of 4.5 ft at aspeed of 69 ft/sec and runs leftward at a speed of 16 ft/sec. The other child does the same but was able to throw better releasing his ball at a heigh of6 ft at a speed of 71 ft/sec then runs rightward at a speed of 17 ft/sec. Which child wins the game? ***Applying principles of dynamics, provide a complete solution and understandable handwriting
