Your friends (apparently, they decided to join you after all) dares you to jump on the rare white rhino you are watching from the safety of your safari jeep. Figuring what could be the harm in jumping on a rhino, you take a running start and jump on the rhino which takes off and accelerates to a speed of 14.2 m/s in 7.2s. Calculate the following:

At the start of a basketball game, a referee tosses a basketball straight into the air by giving it some initial speed. After being given that speed, the ball reaches a maximum height of 4.25 m above where it started. Using conservation of energy, find a. the balls initial speed and b. the height of the ball when it has a speed of 2.5 m/s.
Check Your Understanding There is a second solution to the system of equations solved in this example (because the energy equation is quadratic): v1.f=-2.5m/s , v2.f=0 . This solution is unacceptable on physical grounds; what’s with it?
Assume that the force of a bow on an arrow behaves like the spring force. In aiming the arrow, an archer pulls the bow back 50 cm and holds it in position with a force of 150 N. If the mass of the arrow is 50 g and the “spring” is massless, what is the speed of the arrow immediately after it leaves the bow?
Gayle runs at a speed of 4.00 m/s and dives on a sled, initially at rest on the top of a frictionless, snow-covered hill. After she has descended a vertical distance of 5.00 m. her brother, who is initially at rest, hops on her back, and they continue down the hill together. What is their speed at the bottom of the hill if the total vertical drop is 15.0 m? Gayle's mass is 50.0 kg, the sled has a mass of 5.00 kg, and her brother has a mass of 30.0 kg.
Repeat the preceding problem for the case when the initial speed of the second object is nonzero.
Sue gets up on the roof to clean off the leaf litter. Upon trying to get back down the ladder, she gets scared and doesn't think she can go down that way. She contemplates jumping off the roof, but has heard that is unsafe. If the roof is 10 feet high and she has a mass of 68.1 kg, how fast would she be going when she hit the ground if she jumped? State your answer in mi/hr.
Superman stands majestically on top of a 250meter tall building with the wind whipping his cape. Then he trips and falls off the building. Assuming he uses no superpowers, what will his speed be when he reaches the ground?
Calculate the final speed (in m/s) of a 104 kg rugby player who is initially running at 7.75 m/s but collides head-on with a padded goalpost and experiences a backward force of 1.65 ✕ 104 N for 6.00 ✕ 10−2 s.
What is the velocity of a 1000 kg car with 480,000 J of kinetic energy? Can you determine its direction? Why or Why not?
a 600 gram banana sliding north on a frictionless table at 2.5 meters per second bounces of a 400 gram kiwi fruit that is initially at rest , after colliding the banana continues moving north at 0.5 meters per second. At the North edge of the track is a frictionless inclined ramp which the kiwi fruit slides up to then the kiwi comes back down the ramp , without losing energy , and will now be moving south , the kiwi will catch up and hit the banana again. If the last collision took 20 milliseconds , what was the average force exerted by the banana on the kiwi during the collision (magnitude and direction ) ? by the kiwi on the banana?
