Olivia is gazing out a window from the tenth floor of a building when a bucket (dropped by a window washer) passes by. She notes that it hits the ground 1.5 s later. Determine the floor from which the bucket was dropped if each floor is 5 m high and the window is in the middle of the tenth floor. Neglect air friction.

A student is on the roof of the SP building, 15.0 m above the ground. Your physics instructor, who is 163 cm tall, is walking alongside the building at a constant speed of 0.35 m/s. If you wish to drop an egg on your instructors head, where should the instructor be when you release the egg? Assume the egg is in free fall and air friction is “negligible”.
Descending from rest at the last peak (height 20 m above the ground level) on a roller-coaster track, a car, of mass 750 kg, hits at the end of a horizontal stretch of shallow water, which exerts the average braking force of 920 N. How far does the car splash through the water before it stops?a. 210 m b. 160 m c. 130 m d. 90 m e. 50 m

A 0.7 kg rubber ball has a horizontal velocity of 1.107 m/s at point A and goes through a projectile motion until it hits a smooth floor at point B. It then bounces off and reaches another peak in its trajectory at point C.The ball hits the smooth floor with an impact which has a coefficient of restitution of 0.8 in a very short span of time.Which of the following best approximates the value of distance h?a. 0.320 mb. 0.640 mc. 0 md. 1.0 m
A skater with mass 65 kg is skating on a horizontal surface at a constant speed. There is a ramp ahead, and the skater has just enough speed to make it to the top of the ramp (meaning the speed at the top of the ramp is 0 m/s). The height of the ramp is 1.9 m. Answer the following 5 questions. In this problem, set the reference point of the height at the horizontal surface, and use g = 9.8 m/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity. Ignore air resistance and friction unless otherwise stated. At the top of the ramp, Person A pushes the skater down the ramp. When the skater goes down to the horizontal surface, he is moving at the speed of 9.2 m/s. What is the work done by Person A on the skater during the push? There is another ramp of the height 2.5 m. What is the speed of the skater at the top of this ramp?
