The New Horizons probe that passed by Pluto during July 2015 is one of the fastest spacecraft ever assembled. It was moving at about 14 km/s when it went by Pluto. If it maintained this speed, how long would it take New Horizons to reach the nearest star, Proxima Centauri, which is about 4.3 light-years away? (Note: It isn’t headed in that direction, but you can pretend that it is.)
Neglecting air resistance, why would a ball projected horizontally and another ball dropped at the same time from the same initial height hit the ground together?
A bird sitting in a tree is travelling at 30 km/s relative to the faraway sun. When the bird drops to the ground below, does it still move at 30km/s, or does this speed become zero?
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 5.60m/s up into the air, how fast will it be moving at a height of 53.47cm? How much time has elapsed upon reaching this height?
An athlete from our school throws a javelin at the same speed but at four different angles 20°,40°, 60° and 70° with respect to the horizonal axis. Which two throws cause the javelin to land and the same distance?
How long does it take the spaceship to coast this distance?
A bird sitting in a tree is traveling at 30 km/s relative to the faraway Sun. When the bird drops to the ground below, does it still go 30 km/s, or does this speed become zero?
Suppose you are climbing up the mast of a sailboat at a speed of 0.20 m/s. If the sailboat is moving with a speed of 0.60 m/s in a lake, what is your relative velocity to the lake?
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 2.56m/s up into the air, how fast will it be moving at a height of 11.35cm? How much time has elapsed upon reaching this height? Use GRESA and show illustration
a ball is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 12.0 m/s inside a bus moving at 9.0m/s. what is the velocity of a ball as observed by a man standing on the street?
Suppose you toss a basketball upward while standing still with an initial velocity of 7 meters/second and it rises to about 2.45 meters. That's below the standard 3.05 meters (10 feet) for a basketball hoop, so you miss the shot. Which of these would get you the goal? Pick all that apply. Give the same 7 m/s from the same height, but early in a jump upward at 1 m/s. Run forward and shoot while running, but otherwise the same 7 m/s upward from the same height. Give the same 7 m/s, but at the top of a jump that takes you more than a meter off the ground. From standing still, give a velocity of 8 m/s.
A boy is standing on an elevator which is traveling downward with a constant velocity of 30 meters per second. The boy throws a ball vertically upward with a velocity of 10 meters per second relative to the elevator. What is the velocity of the ball, MAGNITUDE AND DIRECTION, relative to the elevator shaft the instant the boy releases the ball?
