A steel ball is dropped from a boat so that it strikes the surface of a lake with a speed of 20.45 ft/s. Assuming the ball experiences a downward acceleration of a = 15 - 0.85 v^2 when in the water, determine the velocity of the ball when it strikes the bottom of the lake considering that the height of the water surface to the bottom is 32 ft.

-Car A moving at a constant velocity of 25 m/sec passes a gasoline station. At the same instant, car B
leaves the same gasoline station and travels the same direction as that of car A. Determine the
required acceleration of car B in order to overtake car A after 35 seconds.
-Two cars A and B are travelling in the same direction with a velocity of 30 m/sec. Car A is 250 meters
behind car B. After 17 seconds, car B decelerates at a constant rate. Determine the deceleration of car
B so that car A can overtake after 17 seconds.
A motorcycle starts from rest when t = 0 and travels along a straight road at a constant velocity of 5.5 ft/s² until it reaches a speed of 70 ft/s. Then it maintains this speed. Also, when t = 0, a car located 6000 ft from the motorcycle is traveling toward the motorcycle at a constant speed of 50 ft/s. Determine the distance traveled by the motorcycle when they pass each other.
