Problem: A stone is thrown at point (A) from the top of a building with an initial velocity of v, = 19.2 m/s straight upward. The building is H = 49.8 m high, and the stone just misses the edge of the roof on its way down, as in the figure. Answer these questions: %3D a) Calculate the time at which the stone reaches its maximum height. b) Calculate the maximum height of the stone above the rooftop. c) Calculate the time at which the stone returns to the level of the thrower

A landscape architect is planning an artificial waterfall in a city park. Water flowing at 1.70 m/s will leave the end of a horizontal channel at the top of a vertical wall h = 2.35 m high, and from there it will fall into a pool (Fig. P3.42). (a) Will the space behind the waterfall be wide enough for a pedestrian walkway? (b) To sell her plan to the city council, the architect wants to build a model to standard scale, which is one-twelfth actual size. How fast should the water flow in the channel in the model?

A ball is thrown vertically up with a velocity of 30m/s at the edge of a 60-m cliff. calculate the height to which the ball rises and the total time after release for the ball to reach the bottom of the cliff. Neglect air resistance and use g=9.81m/s2
You are on the roof of the lecture hall, 51.8 m above ground. As your physics professor, who is 1.8 m tall, walks towards the hall at a constant speed of 1.2 m/s. If you wish to drop an egg on your professor's head, where should the professor be when you release the egg? Assume egg is in freefall and air resistance is ignored.
A person can survive a feet-first impact at a speed of about 12 m/s (27 mi/h) on concrete; 15 m/s (34 mi/h) on soil; and 34 m/s (76 mi/h) on water. Why the different values for different surfaces?
A student’s book falls out the window of the physics laboratory. How long does it take to fall to the ground (20 m) below? With what velocity does the book hit the ground? Answer: (t=2.02s),(v=-19.8m/s)
after being released form the ground, a golf ball reached its maximum height in 12.66s and 5.3s after reaching this maximum height, the golf ball is observed to barely clear a fence of Aling Nena's house from where it was hit. How high is the fence? Use g= 9.8m/s2 . Round off to nearest whole number
In the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City, Bob Beamon shattered the record for the long jump with a jump of 8.90 m. His speed on takeoff was 9.5 m/s. How close did this athlete come to the maximum possible range in the absence of air resistance? (g in Mexico City is 9.78 m/s²)
A baseball is hit from a height of 1.0 m at an angle of 27 degrees above the ground. It just barely clears a fence that is 4.0 m tall and 122 m away. What was the initial speed of the ball when it was hit? (ignore air resistance)
A catapult above an 8m hill launched a ball with 15 m/s initial velocity and hit a moving cart. If the cart was moving 5 m/s towards the hill, how many meters away was the cart from the hill at the moment the ball was launched (initial position of the cart)? a. 18 b. 32 c. 35 d. 15
A bush baby can leap straight up to a height of 2.1 m off the ground. To reach this height, with what speed would it need to leave the ground, in m/s? Use g = 9.8 m/s2.
A student launches a small rocket which starts from rest at ground level. At a height h=1.04km, the rocket reaches a speed of vf=391m/s. At that height, the rocket runs out of fuel, so there is no longer any thrust propelling it. Take the positive direction to be upward. After the rocket's engine turns off at a height of h=1.04kmℎ=1.04km, it continues to move upward due to the velocity that it reached. Calculate the maximum height, in meters above ground level, that the rocket reaches.
In an open space, Arianna throws a tennis ball at an angle of 26∘ to the horizontal with an initial velocity of 78 feet per second. If the tennis ball is released at a height of 4 feet, the parametric equation would be x(t)=(78cos26∘)t, y(t)=−16t2+(78sin26∘)t+4. After how many seconds does the tennis ball reach its maximum height? (Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary.)
