In a local bar, a customer slides an empty beer mug down the counter for a refill. The height of the counter is 1.16 m. The mug slides off the counter and strikes the floor 1.80 m from the base of the counter. (a) With what velocity did the mug leave the counter?(b) What was the direction of the mug's velocity just before it hit the floor?

A baseball is pitched, reaching the batter with a speed of 37 m/s, and is hit such that it returns on the same line at 48 m/s. If the ball was in contact with the bat for .22 seconds, what was the magnitude of the average acceleration experienced by the ball during the time of contact?

Recall the famous experiment of Galileo Galilei on top of the leaning tower of Pisa? If he accidentally dropped one stone 1.0 s ahead of the other, with what initial velocity (in m/s) must the second stone would have to be thrown if the two stones would hit the ground at the same time? Note: The tower is 54 m high.
An object is thrown vertically upwards by a person’s hands. While it is in contact with their hand, the object has an acceleration of ?=(2.00t^2+12.0t) m/s^2, with an initial velocity of zero. It is in contact with the person’s hands for 1.2 s. How high above the point of release does this object go? Ignore the air resistance and height change due to the motion of the hand.
In a marathon race Chad is out in front, running due north at a speed of 4.03 m/s. John is 97 m behind him, running due north at a speed of 4.70 m/s. How long does it take for John to pass Chad?
Runner A is initially 6.0 mi west of a flagpole and is running with a constant velocity of 7.0 mi/h due east. Runner B is initially 5.0 mi east of the flagpole and is running with a constant velocity of 4.0 mi/h due west. How far are the runners from the flagpole when they meet? The answer has to be in miles.
A person is standing on the roof of a tall building . She throws a ball vertically only from the top of the building in such a way that when the ball passes a window cleaner who is 2.0m from the top, it is falling at a speed of 7.0m/s . It takes another 2.9 s to reach the ground . How tall is the building?
If a rock is thrown with an initial velocity of 5.4 m/s in the y-direction and 8.2 m/s in the x-direction. At what angle was the rock thrown?
In an action movie, the villain is rescued from the ocean by grabbing onto the ladder hanging from a helicopter. He is so intent on gripping the ladder that he lets go of his briefcase of counterfeit money when he is 130 m above the water. If the briefcase hits the water 6.0 s later, what was the speed at which the helicopter was ascending?
A group of students celebrate their first year of medical school with a hot-air balloon ride, which is rising upward with a constant speed of 3.0 m/s. When the balloon is 3.50 m above the ground, one of the students who is taking a selfie with the other students accidentally drops her smart phone over the side of the balloon (fortunately with a OtterBox case). With what speed would the phone hit the ground in m/s? Note that the displacement of the phone dropping 3.50 m would be - 3.50 m. For the same situation as Question 9, how long in seconds would the smart phone be in the air before it hits the ground?
