Two students are on a balcony a distance h above the street. One student throws a ball vertically downward at a speed vi, at the same time, the other student throws a ball vertically upward at the same speed. Answer the following symbolically in terms of vi, g, h. and t. (a) What is the time interval between when the first ball strikes the ground and the second ball strikes the ground? (b) Find the velocity of each ball as it strikes the ground, (c) How far apart are the balls at a time t after they are thrown and before they strike the ground?

- Consider a dragster that, when the light turns green, accelerates uniformly from rest and completes a 372 meter race in a time of 6.61 seconds. a) During this period, what is the dragster's acceleration expressed as a multiple of the acceleration due to gravity, g? b) If the dragster could continue with this average acceleration, what would its speed be, in miles per hour, after it has traveled a total distance of 1.6km1.6km, which is approximately one mile?arrow_forwardAfter a ball rolls off the edge of a horizontal table at time t = 0, its velocity as a function of time is given by:v = 1.2 i - 9.8t jwhere v is in meters per second and t is in seconds. The ball’s displacement away from the edge of the table, during the time interval of 0.380 s for which the ball is in flight, is given by:Δ⃗r=∫00.380s⃗vdtTo perform the integral, you can use the calculus theorem:∫[A+Bf(x)]dx=∫Adx+B∫f(x)dx You can think of the units and unit vectors as constants, represented by A and B. Perform the integration to calculate the displacement of the ball from the edge of the table at 0.380 sarrow_forwardA particle P projected from a point O on horizontal ground hits the ground after 2.4 seconds.The horizontal component of the initial velocity of P is 5/3 d ms-1The speed of P as it passes over the wall is 16ms-1(d) Find the value of d correct to 3 significant figures.May I have the answer for D please as the rules is only to do 3 of them so I asked separatelyarrow_forward
- At an airport, Anna is stationary, Bert is walking at a speed of 1.0 m/s, Carla is standing while Dodong is walking on a platform that moves with a speed of 2.0 m/s. Anna observes Bert, Carla, and Dodong moving away from her in the same direction. Anna observes Dodong moving away from her at a speed of 3.0 m/s. What is Anna’s velocity relative to the ground or earth?arrow_forwardA ball is thrown horizontally at speed v1 from a window which is H above level ground lands a time t1 after it was thrown. If the ball had been thrown horizontally at speed 3v1 from a the same window, how long would the ball have been in the air? (Assume neither ball interacts with anything between being thrown and landing on the ground.)

- (The complete question is in the picture) In one of his adventures, Mario stands on top of a magic platform that vanishesthe moment he jumps away from it. The platform is 20.0 [m] above the ground. If Mariojumps directly upward and takes 1.60 [s] to reach a maximum height of 12.5 [m] from theplatform, how long will it take him to reach the ground from the moment he jumps fromthe vanishing platform?A. 2.58 [s]B. 3.20 [s]C. 4.18 [s]D. 5.16 [s]arrow_forwardA landscape architect is planning an artificial waterfall in a city park. Water flowing at 1.70 m/s will leave the end of a horizontal channel at the top of a vertical wall h = 2.35 m high, and from there it will fall into a pool (Fig. P3.42). (a) Will the space behind the waterfall be wide enough for a pedestrian walkway? (b) To sell her plan to the city council, the architect wants to build a model to standard scale, which is one-twelfth actual size. How fast should the water flow in the channel in the model? Figure P3.42arrow_forwardThe formula s(t)=-4.9t²+49t+15 gives the height in meters of an object after it is thrown vertically upward from a point 15 meters above the ground at a velocity of 49sec. How high above the ground will the object reach?arrow_forward
- A rocket ship has a position given by x=bt^2 meters. In order for it to reach a velocity of 3,000 m/s in 40,000 meters, what must be the value of b?arrow_forwardA bunch of keys was thrown directly upward by Macoy, who is looking out of the window, to be caught by Len-Len living on a room right above him. Unfortunately, Len-Len wasn't able to catch the keys and therefore the bunch of keys went straight to the ground. If Macoy gave the keys an upward speed of 3 m/s and the keys reached the ground after Macoy threw the keys upward in 4 seconds, the speed of the keys just before it reached the ground is 36.2 m/s the height of his room from the ground is 66.4 m c. What is the keys' acceleration when it reached its highest point?d. What is the keys' velocity when it reached its highest point?arrow_forwardTwo stones are released from rest, at the same height above the ground, one after the other. Will the time interval between the instants at which they hit the ground be Choose one: a. Greater than the time interval between the instants of their release? b. Equal to the time interval between the instants of their release? c. Smaller than the time interval between the instants of their release? A golfer gives a golf ball a velocity of 48 m/s at an angle of 40° with the horizontal. What is the vertical component of the ball's initial velocity? Choose one: a. 31 m/s b. 48 m/s c. 36 m/s d. 36.7 m/s A sprinter accelerates from rest at 6.0 m/s2. How long will it take the sprinter to reach a velocity of 8.0 m/s?
