A ball is dropped from the top of an 80-m-high building. Does the ball reach the ground in 4.0 s? (See Figure 2.7.)
(Indicates a review question, which means it requires only a basic understanding of the material to answer. Questions without this designation typically require integrating or extending the concepts presented thus far.) Scenes in films or television programs sometimes show people jumping off moving trains and having unpleasant encounters with the ground. If someone is on a moving flatbed train car and wishes to jump off, how could the person use the concept of relative speed to make a safer dismount?
A hare and a tortoise compete in a race over a straight course 1.00 km long. The tortoise crawls at a speed of 0.200 m/s toward the finish line. The hare runs at a speed of 8.00 m/s toward the Finish line for 0.800 km and then stops to tease the slow-moving tortoise as the tortoise eventually passes by. The hare waits for a while after the tortoise passes and then runs toward the finish line again at 8.00 m/s. Both the hare and the tortoise cross the finish line at the exact same instant. Assume both animals, when moving, move steadily at their respective speeds. (a) How far is the tortoise from the finish line when the hare resumes the racer (b) For how long in time was the hare stationary?

The following are speeds and headings displayed on a GPS receiver, (Heading gives the direction of motion based on north = 0°, east = 90°, south = 180°, etc,) In each case, indicate whether the receiver was accelerating during the time between the displays and, if it was, describe in what way the receiver was accelerating. (a) Initially: 60 mpht 70°; 5 seconds later: .50 mph, 70°. (b) Initially: .50 mph, 70°; 5 seconds later: 70 mph, 70°. (c) Initially: 60 mph, 70°; 5 seconds later: 60 mph, 90°.
