Two students are on a balcony a distance h above the street. One student throws a ball vertically downward at a speed vi , at the same time, the other student throws a ball vertically upward at the same speed. Answer the following symbolically in terms of vi , g, h. and t. (a) What is the time interval between when the first ball strikes the ground and the second ball strikes the ground? (b) Find the velocity of each ball as it strikes the ground, (c) How far apart are the balls at a time t after they are thrown and before they strike the ground?

A physics student stands on a cliff overlooking a lake and decides to throw a baseball to her friends in the water below. She throws the baseball with a velocity of 15.5 m/s15.5 m/s at an angle of 31.5∘31.5∘ above the horizontal. When the baseball leaves her hand, it is 11.5 m11.5 m above the water. How far does the baseball travel horizontally before it hits the water? Neglect any effects of air resistance when calculating the answer. I am stuck on the time part and have no idea how we get time can you please explain. Thank you.
As an airplane taxies on the runway with a speed of 16.5 m>s,a flight attendant walks toward the tail of the plane with a speed of 1.22 m>s. What is the flight attendant’s speed relative to theground?
A classic physics problem states that if a projectile is shot vertically up into the air with an initial velocity of 146 feet per second from an initial height of 89 feet off the ground, then the height of the projectile, h, in feet, t seconds after it's shot is given by the equation: h=−16t2+146t+89h=-16t2+146t+89 Find the two points in time when the object is 126 feet above the ground (to one decimal places). Answer: The object is 126 feet off the ground at the following times: (Enter your two answers separated by a comma. Round to ONE decimal places.)
Consider a dragster that, when the light turns green, accelerates uniformly from rest and completes a 372 meter race in a time of 6.61 seconds. a) During this period, what is the dragster's acceleration expressed as a multiple of the acceleration due to gravity, g? b) If the dragster could continue with this average acceleration, what would its speed be, in miles per hour, after it has traveled a total distance of 1.6km1.6km, which is approximately one mile?
After a ball rolls off the edge of a horizontal table at time t = 0, its velocity as a function of time is given by:v = 1.2 i - 9.8t jwhere v is in meters per second and t is in seconds. The ball’s displacement away from the edge of the table, during the time interval of 0.380 s for which the ball is in flight, is given by:Δ⃗r=∫00.380s⃗vdtTo perform the integral, you can use the calculus theorem:∫[A+Bf(x)]dx=∫Adx+B∫f(x)dx You can think of the units and unit vectors as constants, represented by A and B. Perform the integration to calculate the displacement of the ball from the edge of the table at 0.380 s
At an airport, Anna is stationary, Bert is walking at a speed of 1.0 m/s, Carla is standing while Dodong is walking on a platform that moves with a speed of 2.0 m/s. Anna observes Bert, Carla, and Dodong moving away from her in the same direction. Anna observes Dodong moving away from her at a speed of 3.0 m/s. What is Anna’s velocity relative to the ground or earth?
A ball is thrown horizontally at speed v1 from a window which is H above level ground lands a time t1 after it was thrown. If the ball had been thrown horizontally at speed 3v1 from a the same window, how long would the ball have been in the air? (Assume neither ball interacts with anything between being thrown and landing on the ground.) Group of answer choices t1 3t1 sqrt(3t1) 3/2t1 9t1

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 jeep travels a distance d=22.1m in the positive x direction in a time t1=20.2s, at which point the jeep brakes, coming to rest in t2=7.38s. 1. What was the jeep's instantaneous velocity in the horizontal direction, in meters per second, when it began braking? 2. Using the result from question 1, what was the jeep's horizontal component of acceleration, in meters per squared second, during the braking period?
