You are on an espionage mission to drop a tracker from the top of a building, 53.6 m above from the ground, on your target, who is 1.50 m tall and walking at a constant speed of 2.19 m/s. If you wish to drop the tracker on your target's head, where should the target be when you release the tracker? Assume that there is no air drag. Express answers in meters. Hint: This question involves Free Fall (step 1) and General Uniform Accelerated Motion (step 2).

A 2 kg object is released from rest at the top of a frictionless incline of an 39.1 angle. Given the length of the base of the incline of 2.97 m, the speed (m/s) of the object at the bottom of the incline is:
A water slide is constructed so that swimmers, starting from rest at the top of the slide, leave the end of the slide traveling horizontally. As the drawing shows, one person hits the water 5.00 m from the end of the slide in a time of 0.286 s after leaving the slide. Ignore friction and air resistance, find the height H in the drawing.
A student is on the roof of the SP building, 15.0 m above the ground. Your physics instructor, who is 163 cm tall, is walking alongside the building at a constant speed of 0.35 m/s. If you wish to drop an egg on your instructors head, where should the instructor be when you release the egg? Assume the egg is in free fall and air friction is “negligible”.
A space shuttle with a mass of 189 kg is fired upwards from the earth's surface, at the equator, at a speed of 9.94 · 103 m/s. If there was no air resistance, how high would the shuttle reach if it went straight up?
A skier leaves the top of a slope with an initial speed of 5.0 m/s. Her speed at the bottom of the slope is 13 m/s. What is the height of the slope?
A crate of mass m = 2.00 kg is released from rest at the top of an inclined plane as seen in the figure. The crate starts out at height h = 0.200 m above the top of the table, the table height is H = 2.00 m, and θ = 48.0°. What is the acceleration (in m/s2) of the crate while it slides down the incline? What is the speed (in m/s) of the crate when it leaves the incline? At what horizontal distance (in m) from the end of the table will the crate hit the ground? How long (in s) from when the crate is released does it hit the ground?
A skater with mass 65 kg is skating on a horizontal surface at a constant speed. There is a ramp ahead, and the skater has just enough speed to make it to the top of the ramp (meaning the speed at the top of the ramp is 0 m/s). The height of the ramp is 1.9 m. Answer the following 5 questions. In this problem, set the reference point of the height at the horizontal surface, and use g = 9.8 m/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity. Ignore air resistance and friction unless otherwise stated. At the top of the ramp, Person A pushes the skater down the ramp. When the skater goes down to the horizontal surface, he is moving at the speed of 9.2 m/s. What is the work done by Person A on the skater during the push? There is another ramp of the height 2.5 m. What is the speed of the skater at the top of this ramp?

A speedboat weighing 644 lbs is powered by a constant force of 40 lbs. Friction between the boat and the water is negligible, but there is wind resistance proportional to the velocity of the boat and is 10 lbs. for a speed of 5 fps. Assuming the boat started from rest, find the speed after 10 sec.
A small object begins a free fall from a height of 29.0 m. After 1.10 s, a second small object is launched vertically upward from the ground with an initial velocity if 37.0 m/s. At what height h above the ground will the two objects first meet? Asked to use the equation y=y0+v0yt--1/2gt^2 and assume gravity as I believe 9.8 m/s^2
Just before entering the tunnel, you notice the sign that says you must "use the tunnel with your bicycle on foot" but it is too late and you are descending through the tunnel with an initial speed of 6.6 km / h. The tunnel has a semicircular ramp with radius R = 6.3 m, and its mass combined with the mass of the bicycle is 60.3 kg. a) Find the velocity at the bottom of the curve, point 2, for when the friction force is negligible.
