A bottle rocket is shot straight up in the air with a speed 30 m/s. if the air resistance is ignores, the bottle would go up to a height of approximately 46 m. however the rocket goes up to only 35 m before returning to the ground. What happened? Explain, giving only a qualitative response.
A frictionless plane is 10.0 m long and inclined at 35.0. A sled starts at the bottom with an initial speed of 5.00 m/s up the incline. When the sled reaches the point at which it momentarily stops, a second sled is released from the top of the incline with an initial speed vi. Both sleds reach the bottom of the incline at the same moment. (a) Determine the distance that the first sled traveled up the incline. (b) Determine the initial speed of the second sled.
A box is thrown (at an unknown angle) with a speed of 17.8 m/s from the top of a 28.4 m high cliff. What is the impact speed of the rock when it reaches the ground? Answer in m/s.
A stationary soccer ball of mass m = 0.76 kg is kicked with a constant force of F = 11 N. The woman's foot is in contact with the ball for t = 0.12 s. Write an expression for the speed of the ball vi as it leaves the womans foot. If the ball left the womans foot at at an angel of theta=45degrees relative to the horizontal, how high h did it go in meters?
A stone is dropped from a bridge 50 m above a river. With what speed does the stone hit the water? Use g=9.8 m/s2.
Continue with pic Considering this, what impact would a half‑pound rock traveling at the calculated speed likely have on someone if it struck them in the forehead? A. The impact would likely cause serious injury. B. The impact would hurt a little but would likely not cause any injury. Suppose David missed. What distance dd would the rock travel before striking the ground if David released it from a height of H=4.95 ft?H=4.95 ft? Assume there is no air friction. Can someone help with this? I can't even understand the question. Thanks

A ball is thrown straight downward from the top of a tall building. The initial speed of the ball is 20 m/s. It strikes the ground with a speed of 70 m/s. How tall is the building? Use g as -9.8 and use calculus
Hi, I don't know if I was given enough or have too much uneccesary information to solve this problem, but here it is. An 80 kg guy is running on a flat surface at a velocity of 10 m/s. He gets on a 4 kg skateboard that is sitting at rest at the top of a 45-degree inclined plane (see drawing). If the time taken to travel from point A to point B is 6 seconds and only gravitational acceleration is acting on the guy/skateboard unit, find a) the velocity of the unit when t = 3 seconds; b) the height h at point A. I'm also not sure which part should be solved first. Thanks.
6) In a downhill ski race, surprisingly, little advantage is gained by getting a running start. (This is because the initial kinetic energy is small compared with the gain in gravitational potential energy even on small hills.) To demonstrate this, find the final speed in m/s and the time taken in seconds for a skier who skies 64.0 m along a 29° slope neglecting friction for the following two cases. (Enter the final speeds to at least one decimal place.) (a) starting from rest final speed _____m/s time taken _____s (b) starting with an initial speed of 3.00 m/s final speed _____m/s time taken _____s (c) Does the answer surprise you? Discuss in detail why it is still advantageous to get a running start in very competitive events.
A block of unknown mass is placed on a ramp at a height h above the ground as shown. The block is given a push so it has an initial velocity of v0. The block travels down the ramp, which is frictionless; upon reaching the bottom, the block travels along the horizontal surface where friction is present. The coefficient of friction is mu. How far along the horizontal surface does the mass travel before coming to a stop? A. (1/2 v0^2 + g h) / [sqrt(mu) g] B. (1/2 v0^2 + g h) mu / g C. (1/2 v0^2 + g h) / mu g D. (1/2 v0^2 + g h) sqrt(mu) / g E. cannot be determined without knowing the mass value
In the vertical jump, an Kobe Bryant starts from a crouch and jumps upward to reach as high as possible. Even the best athletes spend little more than 1.00 ss in the air (their "hang time"). Treat Kobe as a particle and let ymaxymax be his maximum height above the floor. Note: this isn't the entire story since Kobe can twist and curl up in the air, but then we can no longer treat him as a particle. Hint: Find v0 to reach y_max in terms of g and y_max and recall the velocity at y_max is zero. Then find v1 to reach y_max/2 with the same kinematic equation. The time to reach y_max is obtained from v0=g (t), and the time to reach y_max/2 is given by v1-v0= -g(t1). Now, t1 is the time to reach y_max/2, and the quantity t-t1 is the time to go from y_max/2 to y_max. You want the ratio of (t-t1)/t1 To explain why he seems to hang in the air, calculate the ratio of the time he is above ymax/2ymax/2 moving up to the time it takes him to go from the floor to that height.
