One stone is dropped from the side of a bridge, and a second is dropped from the same place a short time later (while the first stone is still in the air). What is true about the distance between the stones as a function of time after both have been dropped (and before either reaches the ground)? Ignore air resistance.

Agent Bond is standing on a bridge, 15 m above the roadbelow, and his pursuers are getting too close for comfort.He spots a flatbed truck approaching at 25m/s which hemeasures by knowing that the telephone poles the truck ispassing are 25 m apart in this region. The roof of the truckis 3.5 m above the road, and Bond quickly calculates howmany poles away the truck should be when he drops downfrom the bridge onto the truck, making his getaway. Howmany poles is it?

Playing jackstone as a kid, you discovered that there is a certain time before the rubber ball falls and you took advantage of this when picking up the stars on the floor. If you threw the ball 4.98m/s up into the air, how fast will it be moving at a height of 33.78cm? How much time has elapsed upon reaching this height?
A projectile is lauched from the ground level with an velocity of v ^0 feet per second. Neglecting air resistance, it's height in feet t seconds after launch is given by s =-16t+v0t. Find the time(s) that the projectile will (a) reach height of 64 ft and (b) return to the ground when v 0=80 feet per second.
A red train traveling at 72 miles/hour (mph) and a green train traveling at 100 mph are headed toward one another along a straight, level track. When they are 2500 feet apart, each engineer sees the other's train and applies the brakes. The brakes decelerates each train at the rate of 2.0 meters per second squared. Is their a collision? If so, what is the speed of each train at impact? If not, what is the separation between the trains when they stop? Give the given and solution:
Neglecting air resistance, how far away from home plate would a baseball be right before it struck the ground if it was launched from above the plate at an initial height of 1 meter, an angle of 30 degrees and with an initialspeed of 36 meters per second?
