Janelle stands on a balcony, two stories above Michael. She throws one ball straight up and one ball straight down, but both with the same initial speed. Eventually each ball passes Michael. Which ball, if either, is moving faster when it passes Michael? Explain.

(b) Find the velocity of each ball as it strikes the ground, (c) How far apart are the balls at a time t after they are thrown and before they strike the ground?
A celebrated Mark Twain story has motivated contestants in the Calaveras County Jumping Frog Jubilee, where frog jumps as long as 2.2 m have been recorded. If a frog jumps 2.2 m and the launch angle is 45, find (a) the frogs launch speed and (b) the time the frog spends in the air. Ignore air resistance.
You drop a ball from a window on an upper floor of a building and ii is caught by a friend on the ground when the ball is moving with speed vf. You now repeat the drop, but you have a friend on the street below throw another ball upward at speed vf exactly at the same time that you drop your ball from the window. The two balls are initially separated by 28.7 m. (a) At what time do they pass each other? (b) At what location do they pass each other relative the window?
A truck tractor pulls two trailers, one behind the other, at a constant speed of 1.00 102 km/h. It takes 0.600 s for the big rig to completely pass onto a bridge 4.00 102 m long. For what duration of time is all or part of the truck-trailer combination on the bridge?
A motorist drives along a straight road at a constant speed of 15.0 m/s. Just as she passes a parked motorcycle police officer, the officer starts to accelerate at 2.00 m/s2 to overtake her. Assuming that the officer maintains this acceleration, (a) determine the time interval required for the police officer to reach the motorist. Find (b) the speed and (c) the total displacement of the officer as he overtakes the motorist.
Towns A and B in Figure P3.35 are 80.0 km apart. A couple arranges to drive from town A and meet a couple driving from town B at the lake, L.
