The tallest mountain in the solar system is a 24km tall volcano of Mars, Olympus Mons (compare this with the height of Mt. Everest, which is less than 9km). Assume an astronaut drops a ball o the rim of the crater and that the acceleration of gravity remains constant throughout its 24km fall at a value of 0:38 of the acceleration due to gravity on Earth. (Assume also that the crater is as deep as the volcano is tall, an assumption which is not true for real volcanos). a) How long does it take for the ball to reach the crater floor? b) What is the velocity of the ball with which it hits the crater floor?

A cylindrical section of a tree trunk 50 cm in diameter and 75 cm long, is seen rolling down a road below a sawmill at a speed of 12 m/s. The road has a steady incline of 5%, meaning that if you travel 100 m along the slope of the road, you go down 5 m. Assuming that the log started at the sawmill, at least how far is the sawmill off the road?
An object is traveling East through the earth’s atmosphere at 20.0 km/s while at the same time falling down under the influence of earth’s gravity at a rate of 15 km/s. At this moment, what is its net speed, in km/s? What is its acceleration in the vertical direction (both magnitude and direction)?
Curiosity, the Mars rover designed to explore Gale Crate has a maximum speed of 0.14 km/h. If the rover was moving at this speed on a flat Martian surface and hit a small bump that projected it off the surface at an angle of 28°, how long would it be “airborne” on Mars given that the acceleration due to gravity on Mars is 3.711 m/s²?
Which has the greater centripetal acceleration, a car with a speed of 15.0 m/s along a circular track of radius 100.0 m or a car with a speed of 12.0 m/s along a circular track of radius 75.0 m?
Assuming the acceleration of gravity on earth is approximately 10 m/s^2, twelve seconds after being dropped from rest, a freely falling cantaloupe has a speed of..
If a car were to start at rest and move along a straight road at a constant acceleration reaching a speed of 14 ms-1 in 4 s, the what would be the magnitude of the constant acceleration of the car?
In an historical movie, two knights on horseback start from rest 75.0 m apart and ride directly toward each other to do battle. Sir George's acceleration has a magnitude of 0.338 m/s2, while Sir Alfred's has a magnitude of 0.250 m/s2. Relative to Sir George's starting point, where do the knights collide?

A baseball is thrown up with intial vertical of 15 m/s. How long will it take for the ball to return to the same spot where it originated?
I just wonder how can you get the final acceleration for projectile motion should you just add the acceleration for x and y axis?
Suppose a rocket-propelled motorcycle is fired from rest horizontally across a canyon 1.00 km wide. (a) What minimum constant acceleration in the x-direction must beprovided by the engines so the cycle crosses safely if the opposite side is0.660 km lower than the starting point?_________ m/s2 (b) At what speed does the motorcycle land if it maintains this constanthorizontal component of acceleration? Neglect air drag, but remember thatgravity is still acting in the negative y-direction._________ m/s
