In putting, the force with which a golfer strikes a ball is
planned so that the ball will stop within some small distance
of the cup, say 1.0m long or short, in case the putt is missed.
Accomplishing this from an uphill lie (that is, putting the
ball downhill, see Fig. 2–47) is more difficult than from a
downhill lie. To see why, assume that on a particular green
the ball decelerates constantly at 1.8 m/s² going downhill,
and constantly at 2.6 m/s² going uphill. Suppose we have an
uphill lie 7.0 m from the cup. Calculate the allowable range
of initial velocities we may impart to the ball so that it stops
in the range 1.0 m short to 1.0 m long of the cup. Do the
same for a downhill lie 7.0 m from the cup. What in your
results suggests that the downhill putt is more difficult?

FIGURE 2-47 Problem 70.
A stone is thrown vertically upward with a speed of
15.5 m/s from the edge of a cliff 75.0 m high (Fig. 2–48).
(a) How much later
does it reach the
bottom of the cliff?
(b) What is its speed
just before hitting?
(c) What total distance
-y = 0
did it travel?

Problem 71.
65. Consider the street pattern shown in Fig. 2–46. Each inter-
section has a traffic signal, and the speed limit is 40 km/h.
Suppose you are driving from the west at the speed limit.
When you are 10.0 m from the first intersection, all the lights
turn green. The lights are green for 13.0 s each. (a) Calculate
the time needed to reach the third stoplight. Can you make
it through all three lights without stopping? (b) Another car
was stopped at the first light when all the lights turned green.
It can accelerate at the rate of 2.00 m/s² to the speed limit.
Can the second car make it through all three lights without
stopping? By how many seconds would it make it, or not
make it?
