While sitting on a tree branch 10.0 m above the ground, you dropa chestnut. When the chestnut has fallen 2.5 m, you throw a secondchestnut straight down. What initial speed must you give the secondchestnut if they are both to reach the ground at the same time?

A flea jumps straight up to a maximum height of 0.510 mm. What is its initial velocity V0 as it leaves the ground? How long is the flea in the air from the time it jumps to the time it hits the ground?
An inquisitive physics student and mountain climber climbs a 51.0-m-high cliff that overhangs a calm pool of water. He throws two stones vertically downward, 1.00 s apart, and observes that they cause a single splash. The first stone has an initial speed of 2.06 m/s. (b) What initial velocity must the second stone have if the two stones are to hit the water simultaneously?
A particle begins from rest at a point +10.0 m from the origin at time t = 0 s, and begins accelerating at a constant 2 m/s2 in the negative direction. At time t = 4 s, the particle has reached a certain speed; it stops accelerating, and continues traveling with that same speed until t = 7 s. What is its position relative to the origin at t = 7 s?
. A hot-air balloon is drifting straight downward with a constant speed of 2.40 m/s. When the balloon is7.63 m above the ground, the balloonist decides to drop one of the ballast sandbags to the ground below.How much time elapses before the sandbag hits the ground?
A baseball is hit at a height h = 1.00 m and caught at the same height. It travels along side a wall moving up past the top of the wall 1.00 s after it is hit and then down past the top of the wall 4.00 s later at distance D = 62 m further along the wall. Use g = 9.8 m/s/s. What is the magnitude of the initial velocity?

A particle moves in a straight line with an initial velocity of 0 m/s and a constant acceleration of 30 m/s2. If t = 0 at x = 0 , what is the particle’s position at t = 5 s?
A model rocket is launched and accelerates upward at 20m/ s2 for 3 seconds before the jet shuts off. It continues to rise until gravity eventually brings it back down. How long does it take the rocket in the air? What is the maximum height the rocket obtains?
A firework is projected from the level ground in such a way that v0y = 10m/s and v0x = 20 m/s.a) Find the time it takes the firework to reach its maximum height reached.b) Since the firework returns to the ground, it has the same initial and final height. Whenthis happens, the time it takes the object to land is twice the time it takes to reach its maximum height. Using this information, find the horizontal and vertical components of the velocity of the firework right as it lands.
