The man at A wishes to throw two darts at the target at B so that they arrive at the same time. If each dart is thrown with a speed of 10 m/s, determine the time between each throw. Note that the first dart must be thrown at Oc (>0p), then the second dart is thrown at Op. 5 m D B

Now let’s apply our definition of average velocity to a swimming competition. During one heat of a swim meet, a swimmer performs the crawl stroke in a pool 50.0 mm long, as shown in (Figure 1). She swims a length at racing speed, taking 24.0 ss to cover the length of the pool. She then takes twice that time to swim casually back to her starting point. Find (a) her average velocity for each length and (b) her average velocity for the entire swim. c) If the swimmer could cross a 15 kmkm channel maintaining the same average velocity as for the first 50 mm in the pool, how long would it take?
A golfer gives a ball a maximum initial speed of 51.4 m>s.(a) What is the longest possible hole-in-one for this golfer? Neglectany distance the ball might roll on the green and assume that thetee and the green are at the same level. (b) What is the minimumspeed of the ball during this hole-in-one shot?

Romeo is throwing pebbles gently up to Juliet's window, and he wants the pebbles to hit the window with only a horizontal component of velocity. He is standing at the edge of a rose garden hhh = 7.5 mm below her window and LLL = 7.7 mm from the base of the wall (Figure 1). How fast are the pebbles going when they hit her window? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
Now let’s apply our definition of average velocity to a swimming competition. During one heat of a swim meet, a swimmer performs the crawl stroke in a pool 50.0 mm long, as shown in (Figure attached). She swims a length at racing speed, taking 24.0 ss to cover the length of the pool. She then takes twice that time to swim casually back to her starting point. Find (a) her average velocity for each length and (b) her average velocity for the entire swim. If the swimmer could cross a 13 kmkm channel maintaining the same average velocity as for the first 50 mm in the pool, how long would it take? Express your answer in hours.
A student throws a set of keys vertically upward to her sorority sister, who is in a window 4.00 m above. The keys are caught 1.50s later by the sister's outstretched hand. (a) With what initial velocity were the keys thrown? (b) What was the velocity of the keys just before they were caught?
A ball is thrown straight up from the edge of the roof of abuilding. A second ball is dropped from the roof 1.00 s later. Ignoreair resistance. (a) If the height of the building is 20.0 m, what must theinitial speed of the first ball be if both are to hit the ground at the sametime? On the same graph, sketch the positions of both balls as a functionof time, measured from when the first ball is thrown. Consider thesame situation, but now let the initial speed v0 of the first ball be givenand treat the height h of the building as an unknown. (b) What mustthe height of the building be for both balls to reach the ground at thesame time if (i) v0 is 6.0 m/s and (ii) v0 is 9.5 m/s ? (c) If v0 is greaterthan some value vmax, no value of h exists that allows both balls to hitthe ground at the same time. Solve for vmax. The value vmax has a simplephysical interpretation. What is it? (d) If v0 is less than some value vmin,no value of h exists that allows both balls to hit the ground at the…
I am lost on how to find the equation to derive for part c of this problem. Though the solution a solution is offered (to take dv/dt by substituting t=0 into VI) no equation is given for eq. VI. I'm unable to work backwards from -17.3cm/s², and would appreciate some guidance.
