One of the fastest recorded pitches in major-league baseball, thrown by Tim Lin cecum in 2009, was clocked at 101.0 mi/h. If a pitch were thrown horizontally with this velocity, how far would the ball fall vertically by the time it reached home plate, 60.5 ft away?
Let us throw a rock an upward angle of 30 degrees (30°) of the horizontal from the edge of our favorite 100 m cliff and with an initial velocity of 8.5 m/s. Again, we will ask, how long before the rock hits the ground?
If the acceleration of an object is zero then its speed must be...zero?

- A rocket is launched from rest from an underwater base a distance of 125 m belowthe surface of a body of water. It moves vertically upward with an unknown but assumed constant acceleration (the combines effect of its engines, Earth’s gravity, and the buoyancy and drag of the water), and it reaches the surface in a time of 2.15 seconds. When it breaks the surface its engines automatically shut off (to make it more difficult to detect) and it continues to rise. What maximum height does it reach?
