In sports, the “hang time” of a player is the amount of time a player spends in the air after jumping. Most professional athletes can jump to a maximum height of 0.60 m from the ground. Use a = 9.80 m/s2 and the fact that the velocity of an object at the maximum height is 0. 1.The "hang time" is defined as the time it takes to fall from the maximum height, multiplied by 2. Find the hang time of the athlete. 2. What is the speed of the player just before they hit the ground? Express your answer in m/s and in mph.

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.
The height of an object thrown upward with an initial velocity of 96 feet per second is given by the formula h = −16t2 + 96t, where t is the time in seconds. a) How long will it take the object to reach a height of 144 feet? b) How long will it take the object to return to the point of departure?
A football running back rushes 13 m straight down the playing field in 2.1 s (in the positive direction). He is then hit and pushed 3.5 m straight backwards in 1.95 s. He breaks the tackle and rushes straight forward another 21 m in 4.2 s. Part (a) Calculate the running back's average velocity in the horizontal direction during the first interval, in meters per second. Part (b) Calculate the running back's average velocity in the horizontal direction during the second interval, in meters per second. Part (c) Calculate the running back's average velocity in the horizontal direction during the third interval, in meters per second. Part (d) Calculate the running back's average velocity in the horizontal direction for the entire motion, in meters per second.
The velocity vs time graph for an object is shown. How far has it gone in 4.5 seconds starting at t = 0s? The figure shows the velocity versus time graph for an object. From t = -3 to 0s, the velocity is constant at 45 m/s. From t=0 to 4.5s, velocity decreases linearly from 45 m/s to 0 m/s. 101 m 225 m 150 m 112 m
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?
You toss a ball straight up into the air from an initial height of 1 m above the ground and with an initial speed of 3 m/s. How long is the ball in the air before it lands on the ground? (Give your answer in seconds.)
A graph of position vs. time for a certain particle moving along the x-axis is shown. Find the average velocity in the time intervals from a) 0 to 2.00 s, b) 0 to 4.00 s, c) 2.00 s to 4.00 s, d) 4.00 to 7.00 s, and e) 0 to 8.00 s.
A ball is projected upward at time t = 0.0 s, from a point on a roof 90 m above the ground. The ball rises, then falls and strikes the ground. The initial velocity of the ball is 61.2 m/s. Consider all quantities as positive in the upward direction. At time tt = 1.6 s, the acceleration of the ball is closest to: A.-10 m/s B. -5 m/s C. +10 m/s D. zero E. +5 m/s^2
Two rockets are fired upward. The first rocket’s velocity is given by the function v1(t)= 4t; the second rocket’s velocity is given by the functionv2(t)= 1/10t2. In both cases, t is in seconds and velocity is in feet per second. When the two rockets’ velocities are the same, how far ahead is the first rocket?
