You decide to flip a coin to determine whether to do your physics or English homework first. The coin is flipped straight up. (a) If the coin reaches a high point of 0.25 m above where you released it, what was its initial speed? (b) If you catch it at the same height as you released it, how much time did it spend in the air? Hint: The time it takes the ball to rise equals the time it takes to fall.

A person standing at the edge of a cliff throws a rock upward from a height of 350ft above ground level with an initial velocity of 65⁢ft/s. What is the velocity of impact when the rock reaches the bottom of the cliff? Round any intermediate calculations, if needed, to no less than six decimal places, and round your final answer to two decimal places. (Hint: Use h(t)=−16t2+65t+350 as the position function, where hh is in feet, tt in seconds. Ignore air resistance.)
Recall the famous experiment of Galileo Galilei on top of the leaning tower of Pisa? If he accidentally dropped one stone 1.0 s ahead of the other, with what initial velocity (in m/s) must the second stone would have to be thrown if the two stones would hit the ground at the same time? Note: The tower is 54 m high.
The first supersonic flight was performed by Charles Yeager in 1947. During his attempt, he flew from 119 m/s to top speed, accelerating at 7.29 m/s^2 for a distance of 5251 m. What top speed did he achieve?
A hard rubber ball, not affected by air resistance in its motion, is tossed upward from shoulder height, falls to the sidewalk, rebounds to a smaller maximum height, and is caught on its way down again. This motion is represented in Figure OQ2.13, where the successive positions of the ball through are not equally spaced in time. At point the center of the ball is at its lowest point in the motion. The motion of the ball is along a straight, vertical line, but the diagram shows successive positions offset to the right to avoid overlapping. Choose the positive y direction to be upward. (a) Rank the situations through according to the speed of the ball |vy| at each point, with the largest speed first. (b) Rank the same situations according to the acceleration ay of the ball at each point. (In both rankings, remember that zero is greater than a negative value. If two values are equal, show that they are equal in your ranking.) Figure OQ2.13
